I finally went out to the kid (and he is a young man) and asked him if he would close the gate to his trailer once he pulls his mower out, incase I needed to back out of my garage.
The kid was fine with that and did that. He came again today while I was out, when I returned, the tail gate was down, halfway across my driveway
If I cut grass all day in the hot sun, I'd most likely be constantly on 'auto pilot' too....
not a lot you can do about it...they are what they are

And that is why I always cut my OWN grass. The grass maintenance people are poor and from the lower ladder of society, which is to be blamed on ALL of society, not just the failings of the individual. Be that as it may, the grass cutters tell their friends when TV Landers are away and who has what power tools. Their friends break into the houses, then pawn the stolen equipment - then the grass cutters or other workers get a kickback for the information. With riding lawnmowers so available, most TV Landers should be capable of doing their own grass cutting - and whenever possible, other maintenance should be done by trusted retired Villagers. This would cut down on TV Land crime (that DOES exist even though the newspaper deemphasizes it)! And NEVER leave your doors unlocked - the Neighborhood Watch people are useless! Cameras can help.
