The wooden angel in the backyard of the spy house was removed by friends after the arrests and relocated to a small neighborhood green space. “It’s not safe,” said Chris Delaney, who lives across the street from the spy house. The federal government had by then remitted about $38,000 in property taxes on the spy house over the last three years. Nobody leaves the Spy House for the bus stop. The Marshals Service also kept the home winterized and occasionally sent landscapers to mow the lawn.
