Ok - really weird scenario, but here it goes. I had a washer installed the other day, and the installer left it outside for his partner to pick it up. Somehow, it ended up on my neighbor's lawn and they called the cops. I know that he was going to come back and pick it up, but now the police are involved and want to speak with the young man. I don't want him to get in trouble for something he didn't do neglectfully. How can I help?

The police just want to talk to the guy. Who said that he would be arrested?
It's not your responsibility any more. What gives you the assurance that "I know that he was going to come back and pick it up"?
Tell you what. I will come to your neighbor and move the old washer back on your lawn, so that the neighbor is OK. We will put it in your garage or somewhere out of sight on your property. It will then become YOUR responsibility to ensure that the thing gets hauled away, by his partner or someone else that you hire. Since you KNOW he's coming back, that should make everything all better, right?

It's probably just a follow-up as to why the officer wants to speak to the installer. When a report is filed and information is lackcing, the officer has a duty to fill in any un-answered questions, so I would go ahead and give them the guys name so they can verify what you told them and get the crabby nieghbor off your back.

that's just ridiculous. no reason for your neighbor to be such an a hole. sheesh. just explain to the police that it was a mistake, they were coming right back, they didn't realize the property line was right there. apologize to the police that your neighbor is such an a hole and that they wasted their valuable time messing around with a washing machine of all things.

I don't think he'll get into trouble. Life happens, right?? maybe something came up, and he forgot. Did he leave a phone #? Call him.
