Holmes in our case, he wanted to keep traffic off his lot once the job was done. Firewood, and about anything else on a vacant lot, is liable to walk in remote or rural areas with no one around. I've left some cutup firewood on the front of my lot before and gone for an hour or so, come back to find it was missing. I live on a low traffic road, so the first joe that came along in a pickup likely stole it.
