AN annoyed homeowner has found the perfect way to score revenge against his neighbor who forced him to shorten his privacy fence.
Jason Windus gave his nosy neighbor something to look at by setting up a garden party of naked mannequins in the backyard of his Santa Rosa, California, home.

According to Windus, the neighbor wanted him to shorten the fence as it was limiting their visibility of the subdivision.
Windus said he had set up the large fence to keep his dogs inside his yard.
Eventually, the neighbor found that Windus's massive privacy fence was violating a local ordinance, and the city threatened to plague him with steep fees.
"It is very serious. They made me freak out," Windus told ABC affiliate KGO in 2019. "They were going to fine me every day it wasn't taken down."

Anxious to solve the problem, Windus had to call a friend to come over and help saw the fence down to the maximum height of three feet.
In the wake of the headache, Windus decided to seek revenge by throwing a party in full view - but not with your regular guests.
"I guess the average person would get angry and cop resentment? I throw a naked party in my yard," he said.
Windus said he had considered getting rid of the mannequins before the fence debacle, but is glad he held onto them.

"I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. I was going to use them for target practice," he said, adding that they've now fulfilled a higher destiny.
Other people in the neighborhood said they were tickled by the goofy party and don't mind seeing the mannequins enjoying time together in the backyard.
"Makes the place more interesting," one person told the local outlet.
Windus still doesn't know who had a problem with his fence, but he had one message for them.
"I don't know who it is and I'm sure they're not going to come forward," he told Fox affiliate KTVU.
"And even if they do, this is just a statement for them - maybe mind your own business a little bit."
Local government officials reminded the public that Windus had to cut his fence due to a zoning code violation.
