I have actually had the neighbors call the police to come check out to see what was going on in my situation. I was working third shift at the time so I was awake through the night and the weather had been incredibly hot through the day. I needed to get a ditch re-dug in the backyard along the sidewalk so one of the nights I had off of work I did it then, I wasn’t really making any loud noises or anything like that but since I had flashlights out there to shine on the area so that I can work and see what I was doing it was easy to see I was out there with a shovel and a machete for the intense Briars that grow up around there. Hindsight it probably did look really creepy but I needed to get it done.
