Whacked again for no reason

Evening of Feb 1, 2006 on return home, find yard obliterated. I presume it is Orange County (FL) Code Enforcement. They even pulled out the sentinel stakes (18") to mow the hell out of it. Idiots! Photos in morning... Then I'm going to get someone arrested! or at least fired!!

BTW: this is the apparent history:

::::::November 29:
Tue, 29 Nov 2005 22:10:44 -0500

got another citation from county today. no reason why; grass under,
no junk. what?

:::::051201:
051129
received notice from county again (prev. in July). working wall
yesterday also; massage at work

1130
called, left message. more nonsensical than last time: they claim "piles of
junk and overgrown". took vid befor I left in a.m.

1201
called back. inspector is an ignorant imbecile: i told him i wasn't
in violation; he said I had to be same as neighors on either side.
