First, I received an unexpected visit from my friendly local police, who advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as he himself had almost crashed when he drove by. Second, my 70-year old neighbor grabbed the 75-pound ladder and almost killer herself putting it against my house, and didn't realize it was a fake until she climbed to the top. She was not happy. She was just one of many people who did the same thing and tried to "save" me. Another thing was my yard -- I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up into my yard looking at it.

This is a great idea for April first!

That reminds me of the Halloween display my brothers and I put up when we were younger. We made a scarecrow and dressed it in my little brothers clothes then hung it from the TV antenna. Well to make a long story short when Mom came home and saw what appeared to be my little brothers lifeless body hanging there with a rope around its neck. She didn't get the joke and we learned a lesson.
