Homeowner Etienne Constable of Seaside, California, was ordered by the town to build a fence to hide the boat in his driveway. Instead of simply concealing it, he hired his neighbor, artist Hanif Panni, to paint a photorealistic mural of the boat on the fence. The story went viral, with Constable paying more for the artwork than the original fine would have been, and local officials praising the creative compliance.
