Outraged neighbors had been complaining for months about this display set up outside a home in East Huntingdon Township, Penn., according to reports.

The flag and doll were gone minutes after a reporter knocked on the door, receiving no answer. The station’s footage had shown them on a wooden fence next to a flag for the late auto racing legend Dale Earnhardt.
Area resident Rachel Szolek told the TV station she put up a picture of the “despicable” display on Facebook after driving by it earlier in the day.
“I just hope he has to take it down,” Szolek said. “That's all I want, you know. I don't care, I don't want him punished. I just want him to take it down so we don't have to look at it.”
   It wasn’t immediately clear who had installed the display and the TV station didn’t publish the home’s exact address. Local officials said they couldn’t force the homeowner to move it off the private property.
“It probably is allowed to be there at his property, but if we can do anything to stop it, we will,” said East Huntingdon Township supervisor Paul Hodgkiss.
