One time I moved into a new neighborhood and after a couple of months my car would not start because of a dead battery.  I went to my neighbors house to see if he could give me a jump.  He did not recognize me as his neighbor and did not trust me enough to come over and give me a jump.  I don't really blame him.  It was after dark and he did not know who I was. 

I've invited the neighbors over to cut/edge my lawn, trim bushes, and clear out my fence roll.
