Clean your shitty looking yard up. If it takes an anonymous note from the hood to get your ass up and out from beyond the pulled curtains, its a note well written.
We have a couple houses like this in our neighborhood. The inhabitants are usually so stoned out of their minds I'm quite impressed if they can find their driveway, never mind a lawn mower.
i like to work in the yard, stoned. make it all nice-n-*FRESH* out there. or at least, I used to. IA take note: get your weed-eating-bumblebee on out there. you might actually meet your neighbor doing it.
Just get one of those wildlife plaques that explains how you are protecting the ground nesting junco birds and details the sad story how your neighbors lawn grooming habits are driving them to extinction. Be sure to go around to all the neighborhood kids and let them know how terrible their parents are for doing this.
One of the best things about living in an underserved community is I never have to deal with crap like this. No one cares about the appearance of my lawn and driveway.
You know what would go further than an anonymous note? A nice conversation where they offered to let you borrow their mower. That doesn't seem so hard.
People need to get over their yards. It's grass, for fuck's sake.
