Meh, this is America - So many eyes, yes -- most of them blind or too busy looking the other way. Case and point - my girlfriend's neighbor was cleaned within the past year... And years ago, she had a swastika painted on her garage door. Both houses are within the very inner portion of this cul-du-sac :/
