Default Unburied Cable

On Fri 12 May 2006 12:44:12a, Thus Spake Zarathustra, or was it Eve
Giidiion?

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.

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.


We also found this in a previous home when we first bought it. It is the
cable company's responsibility and they should come out and bury it.

It is in your yard probably because one of their junction boxes is nearby.
This is not uncommon, but it should be buried.

I would call the cable company and ask them to come out and bury it. Tell
them if they don't that you will remove it. It's not your job to bury it.
