I agree there's something not being represented in the OP.

Basically - if something is not on YOUR property - and the thing that is not on your property, is also not your property, then you have no legal right to touch it. So a lawn mower (not your property) is on the street (not your property) then you have no legal right to touch it.

HOWEVER

If that lawn mower is blocking your legal access from your driveway to a public road, you DO have the right to confront the owner and have him move the lawnmower. If he refuses, you can call the police, who will order him to move it and probably issue him a citation for blocking your access to the road.
