It's a sign...

We put a sign on the Porta Potty (which is still in the same spot in the ditch on the side of the road by my house).  I thought the neighborhood association would have said something by now, but they are eerily silent.  I have a theory on the potty, but no clue if I am at all correct in this.  For those that have asked, yes, I have called the phone number on the door of the potty, and there has been no answer (it goes directly to a generic answering machine).  But my theory is that the property that it is in front of (ie, across from mine) actually belongs to the next neighborhood over.  And they might be building a house on it.  I haven't seen any sign of them actually doing anything with the property, and there is no path through the woods that would lead someone to this potty, so I could be completely wrong here.  But there are surveying stakes that seem to delineate a piece of the woods there.  I'm wildly speculating here, folks.  But if it does belong to the property, which only backs up to our road, and they are building on it, there will eventually be workers using it (who presumably will get to hike through the woods and battle the spider webs, poison ivy, and whatever else, basically forging their own path to get to it).  Either way, I decided to start decorating it.  Surely this would get a response from the neighborhood association, right?  I mean, I have seen them slow down in their golf carts to look at it...


 So I waited by my email (ok, I didn't.  I'm way too busy for that, but I did frequently check my email, and that counts).  <<crickets>>   I think it needs more...something.  Did you know that you can purchase, from Amazon, for the bargain price of $7, a dummy security camera?  It's true!  It even comes with a little red led blinky light inside.


I totally bought one.  Did you expect any less?  I mean, I will definitely get at least $7 worth of entertainment out of this, especially if there are eventually workers materializing from the woods to use it.

The fake camera should arrive today, and I will probably wait until Friday (after the rain from Michael passes) to attach it.  If this still goes unnoticed, I think my next step is a trip to the Dollar Tree, where I hope I will find some of that autumn leaf garland stuff.  I'm open to suggestions!


UPDATE!  THEY MOVED IT! 

They didn't move it far.  It is now sitting a couple of feet back from the road, and looks like someone actually made a bit more of an effort to level it.  They also left the sign on it.

Also, it looks like they are, in fact, clearing the woods behind it (though any worker wishing to visit the potty will still have to walk through about 30 ft of forest).
