What kind of no-life wankers go around auditing the flags? Just tell them that it isnt a national flag - they wont know any different.
Personally i would leave it and see what they do, i might try out our HOA and see how on their toes they are!

The previous owners had to fight a - wait for this - $10,000 dollar law suit against the HOA to keep the pole in the backyard!!!!
This is the (apparently non-offensive) version of my flag pole...

Actually the other house we are currently building is on a well...I'll check in with the builders if I remember what they are doing regarding the stinkwater (if anything)

There is a reason I don't live in an HOA community. They're ALL nazis.

I think you should mess with there heads why dont you creep out every hour and swap the flags around, that way just as they are gathering the troops to complain the flags will be back in their right full place. And how about getting a union jack that is bigger than the US flag and occasionally flying that out there and then swapping it back. If they knock on your door you can tell them they need to visit their optician.

"Oh Im sorry" says I, "We had some friends round. I'll go fix it right away".
Off I trot and switch the flags back and come back to them nazis, who turn round and say "We dont care if you have friends from Swizterland round you cant fly their flag without the Stars and Stripes"....Switzerland? Er its a St Georges Cro.....never mind.
