Digging for ruins

      We were surprised to find a car parked on our land a couple weeks back, so our boy decided to take the matter into his own hands.  He had me print out two copies of a message intended to discourage people from parking on "his" property. 

     The sign says:"ここで止まらないでください” (Please do not park here).  We went on over to our property and he personally taped the signs onto each wall.  We went back to our land this week-end and sure enough, the signs were doing a good job of keeping daring drivers from using our property as private parking space. 

     Instead of a car, however, we found a digging crane and the land had been somewhat cleaned up.  Last week, the city of Mitaka performed a search on our property to find out whether important cultural ruins could be found.  Apparently, a small fragment of some kind of important object turned up, so next week, they'll be doing some more digging, right under what will be our wood deck.   Yani decided to check out the crane...  Oh, and we've been told that whatever the city digs up from under our property will not belong to us...  Chucks!
