Are they laying on the ground? Call the cable company and let them know. Your neighbor may be stealing signal.

I contacted Comcast and they have done nothing about it. The neighbors are legally paying for cable

Gee... what are these wires that keep getting caught in my lawnmower?

Well there are two things you need to verify and it sounds like you're pretty certain about the first thing. Are you certain this line was run across your property and outside of an an easement or the right of way? Secondly, you should verify that by agreeing to allow Comcast to provide you service that you have not given them permission to extend their service to additional customers across your property. Secondly, is it possible that this is a temporary line because there's no reason that the line should be exposed. This just doesn't sound like anything a reputable cable company or contractor for a reputable cable company would do.

Check with code enforcement in your local area.
Visible cable wires are required to be installed properly and meet standards, just like any other utility company.
The company can be fined for this wire laying on the ground.
Temporary lines have a time limit to be placed in the ground, as well.
