On one of the other groups I'm on there was a picture posted of a 
trailer hitch ball that had come off the back of the tractor he was 
using. He found it the next time he mowed. It came out of the deck, 
through the closed garage door, through the rear window of his truck, 
through the windshield of the truck and was embedded in the plywood over 
the workbench !

I try to really watch what's around me while cutting. I REALLY hate 
paying to repair things that could have easily been avoided.
I will even go to the extent of stopping and yelling at people who are 
stupid enough to mow with a kid in their lap. I have seen the results of 
that type behavior more than once. It leaves a lasting impression.

The wire that I found was part of a spool that fell into the grass along 
the road. I was mowing to clean things up and discovered it.
Was NOT a happy person.
