my neighbor returned my lawn gnome today . how nice of you to loan it out ! have to admit , never heard of someone `` borrowing '' a lawn ornament though . oh , if you saw this one you would understand . i have won every lawn of the month award with it for 48 months straight . i was getting somewhat concerned because he is known from waltzing off on his own from time to time . but , i am thankful that my neighbor was quite vigilant ! i 'm glad you gave him a chance to shine ! everyone deserves a chance to be trusted , and it 's good on you to roll the dice !
The neighbor's vigilance in keeping an eye out for the wandering person or pet.
