What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
A couple of weeks ago while my husband was at work I was outside mowing the yard and doing some weed whacking.I had finished and was standing by the fence talking to our next door neighbor when a guy walked by with a shovel and stopped. He was probably about 50 and said that his name was Mike and that he lived, actually his ex girlfriend, lived at the end of the block and he used to keep the block clean. He saw me earlier trying to get the weeds out from the cracks in the sidewalk and had a better way to do it. I was like "okay sure". So he proceeded to start taking them out with the shovel. I continued talking to the neighbor and asked if he knew who the guy was and he had no clue. Shortly thereafter he said he broke his shovel and that he'd be right back. I was kind of uneasy because I have no idea who this guy is or why he is working on our yard. Well while he was gone I got the mower back in the garage and shut it up and went inside. My husband pulled in the driveway just as the guy was returning with a new shovel and a wheelbarrow. The guy told him he was just helping me out. My husband thought that was odd but let him finish what he was doing. When he was done, the guy proceeded to come down our driveway and take our compost bin to the sidewalk and dump everything. Okay... Yeah you need somewhere to put it but it might have been nice to ask to use it first before helping yourself to it! The next day he walked by slowly looking at his work. Kind of weirded me out.
Then a few days later my husband and I were in the back room and I went into the kitchen and look out the window and I see this orange cord stretched across the driveway and yard. The guy was back and had plugged in an edger next to our side door and was edging our driveway! Okay, now it's getting a little creepy that he just came onto our property and plugged in an edger and decided to continue working on our yard. I told my husband and he went outside and asked the guy if he was expecting some money or something and the guy goes "No I just like making the block look nice". When he was done he once again proceeded to come by our garage and wheel our compost bin back out to the sidewalk and put the clippings in it without asking us first. Alright 1) He said his EX girlfriend lived down the block so why is he here all the time and why does he care how the block looks if he doesn't live here? and 2) Why has he not touched anybody else's yard on the block except ours when practically every other house needs their weeds taken out of the sidewalk and the yard edged?
Last night we were sitting in our living room and watched the guy walk past our place again looking at the yard and then turned around and went back. We are both getting weirded out by his behavior. We've seen him walk by and turn around on 2 separate occasions so who knows how many times he's gone by that we haven't seen him?
