Sometimes Coveting is a Compliment

Leon got a big yellow wheel barrel for Christmas from  his sons.  He needed one.  It's something so important to him - that wheel barrel - that he will not keep the garage door open for any length of time if he isn't here (even if I am) because he is afraid that someone will steal it!  That would be O.K. except the garage door doesn't work any longer with the door opener.  It hasn't for some time.  SO - if I were to open the door - it would take some doing to manually help it along.  It makes me smile though.  I don't think I have ever seen  him covet (value) anything quite like that.
