As a non-American and never having lived in an area with a Home

dangerous location? NO, it's in the parking lot. Is it leaking
gasoline? Is it... [fill in the blank for something that is actually

If not, mind your own blankety-blank business.

Maybe the owner is on vacation, and the tire has gone flat while s/he
is away. Doesn't anybody use any common sense?

Many cities have laws limiting the time you can legaly park in one spot, so this
isn't an unusual occurance.
