It also made a trench in lawn with tandem tires and in small rocks in front of house. My question is to corner lot owners and what they do to protect their property from this kind of damage?
Can't verify who did damage, would you report it and to whom? Deductible of $1,000 on our insurance. We did have irrigation turned off in house.
When we return can we have large rocks put in side yard along street?
We are also a corner lot. We had a similar thing where a contractor ran at least 2 foot up into our gravel and trashed a head. We were away for a bit and 40,000 gallons later, it showed up on the amenity bill.

I have cameras up now. I also have a Flume, remote water monitor and a wifi irrigation controller. I also moved that particular head in 3 feet.

Since then, I found a big skid mark on the edge of the property in the gravel, reviewed the cams and it turns out a golf cart was dodging a truck flying down the middle of the street. Dove off the road to not get killed!

Good luck.
