As I said, anywhere but TV, it's a big deal and I can certainly understand the concern when away from your home and getting such news. Here, it is a matter of asking neighbors whose car it is. If I couldn't get that answered after asking at 3 houses, I'd be on the phone to the police in a heartbeat.

Also, I can't imagine someone using their neighbor's driveway knowing they had an oil leak. I do know of one instant where oil did leak on the driveway and the neighbor paid to have it cleaned up. (FYI -- Simple way to clean it is pour a can of regular Coke on it, let it sit for an hour and then scrub. Also, if the leak has only been there a short time, kitty litter will absorb it.)

TV has a mindset like no other I've seen anywhere in this wonderful world. People share so much -- a dinner party is usually hosted at one home but is nearly always potluck; weekly games are rotated from house to house; parking in a neighbor's driveway seems to be a neighborly thing to do. Heck, I'm still getting used to some of the ways of life here.
Thanks Dee! I appreciate your response. Now I know why your my favorite Village's L..., L..., aah, you know what I mean!

BTW, thanks for the Coke tip!
