Edna has lived in her home for over fifty years, treasuring every corner her late husband, Harold, helped care for. Their lawn was a symbol of their life together. When new neighbors moved in, their shiny pickup truck started parking on Edna’s lawn, tearing up the grass.

Despite her polite requests to move the truck, the neighbors refused, dismissing her concerns because she didn’t own a car. Hurt but determined, Edna decided to protect her property herself. She found an old canister of sharp tacks left by Harold and quietly scattered them where the truck always parked.

The next morning, Edna heard the hiss of flat tires. The neighbor was furious but Edna stood firm, calmly explaining that her lawn was her property. She had already called the police, who confirmed the neighbors were trespassing and warned them to stay off her lawn.

After that, the neighbors never parked on Edna’s grass again. Sitting on her porch that evening, Edna felt a deep satisfaction. She had defended the home full of memories she and Harold built — and kept her sanctuary intact.
