I just heard the construction workers next door stealing water from the
spigot at the side of our house. I threw on my shoes and ran out there,
but the guy with the bucket (or whatever) was nowhere to be found.
There was a telltale drop of water drooling from the end of the faucet,
however, so I turned to the nearest worker and said, “Did someone just
take water from here?”

I might as well have said it in Japanese.
