Besides it is not good to mow the grass in the hot sun and that's my excuse.

looks like someone "lost" there tool box to a scrap guy.

these days around here anything made of any metal is at risk of being taken for scrap, they've resorted to stealing bronze plaques off grave markers...

They stole my garden hose splitter off my tap out front of my shop last week, and cut the chains off my dumpster steeling the brass padlock
