Mother is threatened with legal action by neighbours unless she removes 'eyesore' toy unicorn she stores on top of her shed - who do YOU think is in the right?

A mother has spoken of her upset after a toy unicorn stored on the roof of her garden shed has sparked a legal row with her neighbour.

Anna Smith,who lives in London,had been storing her children's' ride-on cuddly toy alongside a number of other items above the shed as she didn't have anywhere else to put them in her home.

But the owner of a nearby house says the items are a major 'eyesore and nuisance' whilst they are trying to re-let the property and have told Ms Smith that they are instructing a lawyer on the matter.

In a letter written to Ms Smith,the neighbour said they were 'anxious to resolve the matter' as they were 'neighbours and [part of] a Christian community'. 

Their actions have only confused Ms Smith,who posted about the issue on a Facebook group with 1.2million members.

Those who saw the post said they thought the neighbour's request was 'utterly ridiculous' and believed they needed to 'get a grip.'

'Move the stuff so they think they have won,' one replied.

'Have a speaker set up in the garden. As soon as you see any potential tenants coming to view,just blast out Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up,on repeat until they leave.'

Others said the note was ridiculous.

'There are so few properties to rent these days that absolutely no one is going to say 'I love the house but I'm sorry I just can't…the unicorn is bothering me.

'They're talking rubbish they just want top dollar rent that's all and want everything to look perfect so they can get the ãã they sound like they'd make terrible landlords too.'

One person said they should add a middle finger salute to the top of the shed,while another suggested a blow-up figure staring their way or adding a devil-like mask to the unicorn.

'Just reply with 'love thy neighbour' and leave it at that,' a social media user mused.

'I'd buy a bigger unicorn,' another laughed.

One account said: 'People are being bombed out of their homes,starving to death,and lord knows what other atrocities going on in parts of the world.

'They are worried about a toy representation of a fictional magical creature? They need to get a grip!'

While another simply responded: 'Ignore them. They're being utterly ridiculous. It's not a legal matter.

'They can't do anything legally. Not very 'Christian' either threatening you with legal action.

'They wouldn't have a leg to stand on love. If you want to,you can send them a polite note back saying I've tidied it up,as best as I am able.

'But personally I'd just ignore them.'
