Few years ago I was working the night shift. 3 to 11. Went in about 2:30. Then I had a day off, but had to go somewhere, and left about 2:15. Got home, about 5, and found this huge pile of trash in the front of my yard. The neighbors were doing cleanup, and since they had a circular driveway, there was no place to put trash at the street, for the garbageman to pick up. So they waited until I left for work (so they thought) and put it in my yard.

I called the law. Cop showed up and the woman came over and the first word out of her mouth was "You didn't have to call the police". Yeah, well you didn't have to put trash in my yard.

So her and her kids shoveled that big pile of trash back over into her yard, in the middle of her driveway. Don't know where they parked for the next three days, until trash pickup. Don't care.

Don't get in a pissin' match with the neighbors. Call the law. Let them handle it. That's their job.
