There is a very nice neighbor that lives across the road from our property. She called the cops because is was late at night, the lights were on on my tractor and she hadn't seen it move for quite a while and thought it was odd and maybe I was hurt. The cops called my house, I told them I had the battery for the tractor in my garage. Cops went to property. Didn't find anyone there.
Week later same thing happened but it was a different person that called the cops. So, my guess is either someone was trying to start it or it was lights from someone else's vehicle out in our field.
The neighbor across the road is pretty sharp and has been around farming most of her life, so I have no reason to think she's mistaken and really appreciated her calling the cops. They do a good job of keeping an eye on things, as does the Conservation Officer. Three C.O.s for 5 counties and he happens to drive by at the same time someone is in our lane cutting wood. He checked them out and let them go, once he determined they were my wife's parents.
