Shane McMahon's Ass

Part of being a good neighbour is keeping an eye on someone's house or watering the plants while they're away.
But one couple have been left fuming after coming back from a sunshine break to discover their back garden had been taken - and the culprit was apparently their next-door neighbour.
Linzi and Phil Wood claim a path, rockery, plant pots, hanging baskets and even a £600 garden shed they built are now in Brian Johnson's once scruffy, overgrown garden. Mr Johnson was not available for comment yesterday.
The couple were first made aware of the problem when Mr Wood's mother checked on the property in Hazel Slade, Staffordshire.
'I had a call from my mother-in-law to ask what we had done to our garden,' said Mrs Wood, 28. 'When she explained what she had seen I got the next flight home from Lanzarote and the lot was gone.
'I don't know how he moved the shed. I was so angry and frustrated; we've always got on with him and cannot understand his audacity. All you have to do is look over the fence and the whole of my garden is there.'
The mother of four said she had seen jobless Mr Johnson only once since she came back and he told her he had bought the garden objects for £220 from a 'third party' known to her 28-year-old husband.
'We're trying to sell our house but now the garden looks terrible. It has completely devalued the property,' she added.
Police are investigating.
