They dismissed her concerns, insisting it was for \u201csecurity,\u201d but Zoe knew they were invading her privacy. Instead of going to court, she came up with a bold idea: a staged performance that would give them something <em>worth<\/em> watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With help from her friends, Zoe put on the most dramatic backyard scene imaginable \u2014 costumes, fake blood, and a staged \u201ccrime\u201d that looked real enough to send the neighbors into a panic. As they watched from behind their curtains, someone called the police.
