I noticed an unburied cable on my property ( just got the house a few
months ago.)
When the installer came out to put in my Cable (TV, Internet ect) I
asked if he could tell me anything about it. He said it went to my
neighbor's house.
This cable is unburied for a good 20-30 feet and is about 10 feet
inside my property line running parallel to the property boundary.

That's a very good description, and it enables me to identify the
line.

Do not touch the cable.

It is one of thousands installed in neigborhoods throughout the
country and it enables the NSA to gather information on who your
neighbors (and you) are talking to on the phone. Tampering with the
cable is a federal offense.

Any suggestions on what to do with this?
Should I tell the neighbor it has become uncovered and let him cover
it? And if he doesn't , then what? Clip it?
This is a Mower hazard and is not something that I can ignore.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
And no, I don't know why the cable is in my yard.

This is done on a need-to-know basis, and you have no need to know.
