I'm with you on this. A lot of shit really isn't worth getting all PO'd over. People are people. Unless the lawn was overgrown and like 3 foot tall or something full of weeds and trash. And people who bitch about FLags being put up, or lawn decorations, and shit. That's all retarded.
A 1+ ton piece of demolished steel and plastic, however, I don't think fits into the lawn ornament category.
You obviously haven't been to the Midwest.
