Thanks, Soidhonia and Rhap...
He wasn't cutting my grass that day. He and his wife arrived and went to the garden. I was unawayre that they were here, and the dogs were in the back yard. I always bring the dogs in when they come, but they didn't let me know of their presence, and I was unaware of the incident till the next week when he came back to the garden. I really have no idea what happened other than his information.
I'll do the right thing if necessary.
