What weird things do your neighbors have in their yard?
Crazy lawn ornaments? Old appliances? Extra cars?

My neighbor has an above ground pool that hasn't been used in 2 or 3 years. The actual side of pool are gone, so just the whole frame and the deck area remain. It's weird. I don't recall them removing the sides or seeing them out for trash day. No idea where they went or why the hell the rest is still up there. Though I suppose that eyesore is better than the eyesore of the old, obese neighbor jumping into the pool.

2. A tin foil unicorn.
It's about two feet tall by three feet wide.

I wish I were kidding.

4. What doesn't he have?
My neighbor (and landlord) is a packrat. There is everything kicking around this place from old farm equipment to a brazillian piles of wood (most of it rotted) to wood splitters to an old RV to a car I found over an embankment recently which is completely rusted. There are old toilets, shovels, wires, pieces of piping of all kinds, barrels, fenceposts, buckets, lawn gnomes, bricks (a huge pile of these, left over from when the '89 quake destroyed his chimney) and plenty of things that are unidentifiable.

Makes the old washing machine and the gun safes on my deck look positively suburban.

7. One guy has a full sized
tree cutter-downer. (not sure what else to call it) He also has an upended hot tub. He isn't very popular. Might be that meth lab problem.

8. a dog that never shuts up
There is a high fence around the yard so I can't see all the crap. Her maple tree sheds all its branches into my yard during storms and I heave it right back over into her yard, which has a shed and mountains of dogshit.
