Down on the Farm (part 2)

Mad David's Patio
David always thinks big, he works out and is extremely full of muscle. One of his big projects was his patio. There are unfortunately no pictures here but it is a huge width of the house affair - going out about the same distance, with a 4 foot feature wall around. Mad David also plans things with a progression step by step approach...  so having began the job, he realised he'd need to shift all the earth so found an old Mini (probably in a skip i didn't encourage him to explain by asking) and turned it into a four wheeled trailer, about 5 foot in height.

He'd then drive home every day after work and spend a few hours shovelling more earth into the trailer.

His house has an extension where the garage used to be so to get the earth to the front he loads up his digger (see separate entry) and drives through the extension to the trailer which is parked at the front on the farm track (for easy access he claims!!)

Come the weekend he went to the dump to empty the earth. He has a massive industrial looking car that could pull anything so doesn't think anything is amiss till he comes to empty the trailer. Then it dawns on him. 2 weeks of industrious excavating has given him a completely full trailer that he cannot empty.(unless he stayed at the dump for two days emptying it) Oh dear.

Back home he welds a few bolts here, a few bits of metal there and the odd boat winch to make a tipping system. He can't of course test it until he gets to the dump when if it breaks he will damage the trailer and/or the car, cos he'll have to spend another two weeks refilling it again! But lucky as ever it works first time and he begins the first of many earth dumping trips..... and that's what he calls labour saving!...

QUESTION -

Is it morally and ethically wrong to spy on your neighbours?
