At least you didn't have to parallel park that dresser out on the street with interested bystanders watching! That's a great story.
My neighbors are retired so when the grass dries enough they can mow. Now begins the season of I mow when I can to keep up so my yard doesn't look conspicuously unkempt compared to their neatly mowed and trimmed lawns. That is an invitation to burglary (as I found out the hard way back in 2005).
