Vexed

Okay, so here's my beef. Our lovely little Seattle house has a back yard, and the back yard exits onto an alley. There, in Grand Theft Auto style, is a tiny car port/garage. So far so good right?
The problem with this scenario is that anyone that happens to drive down the alley (it's a busy alley because there are businesses all along the opposite side) can dump whatever shit they want in our flower beds.

Which leads to the obvious question: Why are there flower beds in the alley?Answer: Hell if we know. There's a wooden retaining wall then about 3 feet between the wall and the fence, and the space in between is filled with dirt, and thus a flower bed (assuming one actually planted flowers there).

Currently the flower beds are EXTREMELY OVERGROWN. I was working my way to them, even started pulling down some of the evil black berry and other bad weeds that were stubbornly climbing the fence into the yard. Then I was hit with this tumor in my brain thing and that effort fell by the wayside.

But, even though it is overgrown is that a good reason for people to dump their garbage in it? The cigarettes from the people across from us are bad enough, but food bins from the sushi restaurant, milk crates from god knows where, and a discarded gutter from one of my not so kind neighbors is infuriating.

I liked the days when our garage got tagged instead of this because this requires cleaning up other people's dirty shit (not to mention a trip to the garbage transfer station, aka "the dump" to dispose of the gutter).
