I guess I'm a minority of one. I would definitely NOT have called the police.
I might have watched someone who looked out of place, to see what they were doing.
If he pulled weeds, I would have assumed that he was under contract to the homeowner to pull weeds on the lawn.
If he looked in the windows and tried to open the lanai door, I might have been concerned.
But he was only pulling some weeds.
I think it's a big over reaction to call police on a man who stops and does some gardening.
I don't blame the landscaper for being upset.
No, Bare, we are a minority of TWO! I have a gardener, she actually owns the company that cuts my lawn and does trimming etc. She comes to my home once a month to weed and clean up my flower beds, she works both in the back and the front of my home and she drives an unmarked truck! No one has ever called the police while she is on my property.
