Dear Alex,
I was drunk and bored, so I mowed your lawn. I hope you like it.

…on a note in the letterbox when I got home.
Tidy job too – clippings and everything.
Another reason I like my neighbours…

Still gets your name wrong, though ;-).
I got home yesterday, having been away at a conference for much of this week (and having been frustrated by the weather on previous weekends, otherwise I would have done it myself), to find the strip of grass around the front of my place, similarly mown.
I didn’t get a note, though, so I can only conjecture it was Andy at the head of my little cul de sac, as his lawn was also freshly done.
I like my neighbours, too :-).

I’m reminded powerfully of Pratchett’s anticrimes, like whitemail or breaking and decorating, but it’s possibly more worrying that I instantly rephrased this mentally as
“O HAI! I maded U a lawn, but I mowded it, k? KTHXBAI – Charlie”
