Unhappy Sprinkler Heads versus Autos

I ride a bike nearly every day and have noticed that a lot of residents have placed very large stones at their street side sprinkler heads. In my opinion the residents that have done this are far more interested in doing a lot of damage to someones automobile that they are in trying to protect their $8.00 sprinkler head. No driver intentionally wants to leave the paved roadway and damage your sprinkler heads. If you are just trying to keep parkers from driving across the sprinkler heads, then I suggest a short length of PVC pipe at the heads will do the trick. At one residence I observed today, the boulders were at least two feet tall with four placed along the street. This is on property that that resident doesn't actually own. Striking one of these boulders, will with a doubt cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to a car.
