Default Dang neighbors dumpin junk

I came home yesterday to find this bunch of junk in my drive yesterday, the pile is a cord of green basswood all 18 inches long, the other garbage is 4 to 6 inch thick Black Walnut 18 to 20 inches wide. Whats a fella to do with neighbors like this?

Hi Cliff,
What do you do with neighbors like that? KEEP THEM!!! Feed them, carve something for them, thank them every time you see them!!!

Isn't it great to get that kind of surprise?

Cliff, I guess you could do what my son did with my cherished Catalpa logs and burn them in the fireplace and complain about them being in your way???

Cliff:
The least they could have done is square it up and plane it down,that looks like some good stuff,you better take that neighbor over a pie.
