I was wondering that too, that you get a ticket for parking on your own lawn. I park my Chevy in front of my house on the 'grass' or lack there of every day, yes every day even though I have a long driveway, but I park it own my front yard because of trees in the driveway. How is that grounds for a ticket I'm wondering, I mean its your own private property. Maybe the neighbor should get a ticket for 'property damage' to your cars sap is no joke !
