    Hmmm - tough one. But since I'm not friendly with them, I'd have to be a biach and say "no". If they can take the time to move the car into the yard, then at least they can take a couple of minutes to sweep up the glass, so that someone doesn't get hurt, or a tire flattened.

    If I had a friendly relationship with them, then yes, I would clean it up.

    I would sweep it up. It might get in my tires, plus I am a neat freak - but a neighborly one

    I'd knock on the door and say "Are you gonna clean that up? It's dangerous, y'know". Either way, I'd leave it.

    I reread my story and didn't really say that it's in front of MY house.


    sorry.

    Then that's even more reason to tell them to clean it up!

    I'm not a bad neighbour but I wouldn't sweep it up simply because I'm not able to and the fact that there's no friendly relationship between us. I didn't realize it was in front of my house in which case I would probably go over and politely ask them to pick it up in case a dog or child stepped on it or even myself.

    I swept up some trash that was around my neighbor's trash can yesterday.
    This was only after seeing it there since last last trash pickup. They
    are brand new neighbors & I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they
    are still busy & didn't notice it. ??

    It bugged me enough that I thought, what the heck. Clean it up.

    In your case Richard, I wouldn't really rush to clean up the glass. Do you
    think these people are still upset that someone broke their windshield?
