Get Rid of It Or Else

One night I was out working when I saw a homeless man on a bike, pulling a lawnmower behind him with a rope. He claimed that a guy gave it to him. But it seemed sketchy to me, so I probed further.
He gave me directions to the house where he got it. When speaking to the homeowner he told me that his wife was mad about his inability to use the lawnmower and ordered him to get rid of it or face the consequences. So, he gave it to the homeless guy.
