With construction around here it can be difficult (and one of my pet peeves the junk they don't sweep up and hose down at the curb) but it may save the expense and/or hassle of a damaged door or window.
How do you know that it wasn't the owner who was the liar ??? Glass can break for a number of reasons. Improper installation, defective material, a direct sunlight all come to mind. And if I remember right, the OP of that story or the wife heard a very loud crashing sound to the side of their home and didn't bother to investigate. Seriously ???
But by all means, beware of lawn rocks.
