I took 4 lawnmowers from the backyard of an abandoned home with intent to resell them for delicious cash. Have I become a professional thief?

Okay class, so dig it: Your old pal Lovelocke has been spying on his new neighborhood for the past month. From high atop the watertower in my accursed city, I looked over and spotted four good-to-midused condition lawnmowers of varying size and color.

Having lived here for a month, I wondered what those people were doing with four lawnmowers… maybe they were professional software engineers? I don’t know. But in the last week, I noticed the grass in their backyard reaching around the same height as the wooden fence surrounding it. Strange.

I drove around in the daytime and noticed red signs posted on the front of house declaring the home had been condemned with evidence of mold growing inside. That means, the lawnmowers out back were up for grabs.

Or were they?

A few nights back I got dressed up, and called a friend over who owned a pickup truck. In the course of 9 minutes, what was once nobody’s lawnmowers, going to waste in that sweltering jungle will soon become the lawnmower of dreams to underprivileged starving families who were in desperate need of a primped lawn… and subsequently, beautiful cash for me!

Was this a bad move? The lawnmowers and the house had to have been abandoned for a month at the very least for the grass to have reached that height.

SUMMARY:

Question 1: Abandoned home, abandoned lawnmowers – I went in at 2:00am and took them. Fair and square?

Bonus Question: Are you looking to buy a lawnmower? Everything must go!
