This is what happens when a cactus falls on your car....






This cactus had those wooden bracings put up before we moved in because it was leaning. Guess all the rain we got from the monsoon loosened up the ground and timberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.


What really sucks....my neighbor recently sold her house and was almost completely moved out. Pictures don't really show it but her roof of the car is caved in.


ETA:The cactus was NOT in my yard. Neighbor's own saguaro cactus fell in neighbor's yard onto neighbor's car.

Rock yards.

Low maintenance, zero appeal or utility.

Your homeowners insurance policy could look to deny

Unless that's her property

I would have figured the Cactus would have broken when it hit the car. That thing must be heavy.

You got all of that from one photo of a cactus on a car?

They are very heavy. This happened this morning after I left for work. It sill hasn't been moved.

Saguaros are highly protected by AZ law so I think you have to go through proper steps to remove them.

Looks like they're stuck in between a rock and a hard place.

Desert problems


I've never seen a cactus in Tennessee. Only thing I'm worried about falling on my car is bird poop.

That's more like a People's Elbow than a karate chop

Why would I get sued? The cactus was in my neighbor's yard. It was her cactus on her yard.

Course...she did just sell her home so I would be curious how that plays out with insurance, etc.
