1. Take Pictures
2. Go unplug the cord, wind it up and stick it in the garage.
3. Send PM to jolinar of malkshor asking if he is still looking for his
4. Profit!

Seriously though, when I ran my own business we walked on eggshells when we were forced to use someone elses property, and avoided it at all costs without explict permission. If I came home to find a contractor using my power, piling crap on my yard I would freak. I pin this totally on the contractor, and when you bring it up with your neighbour make sure you word it like it is not a problem with him personally, but the person he hired.

Take pictures first, that way if anything gets disputed or things escalate to the point where you need to seek compensation you have proof. A little mud isn't a big deal, but if some moron pours concrete on your lawn that is a totally different story.

If you feel like being a jerk, put the stuff that was left on your yard in the alley in your garbage. Tell him you had no idea whose it was and you assumed some random person had dumped it on your lawn in the middle of the day. You asked the contractor and they claimed they didn't do it, so who else could it have been?
