Neighbor throws away couple's Halloween doormat, claims it's because her 4-year-old son is scared of it: 'The kid was acting completely fine'

In this story, a couple faced a puzzling issue where their Spirit Halloween doormat depicting Art the Clown kept getting flipped over by their new neighbors. They didn't understand it until one day they managed to confront them, and the neighbors claimed that their young son was frightened of the doormat.

They thought that they had resolved the issue after having a conversation about it, but they then came home to the doormat thrown outside the stairwell in their building. The couple was upset by this escalation in behavior, but wondered if it would just be better to remove the offending mat instead.
