For me- it would have to depend on how long they have had it and how responsible they are. If they have had it for years and it happened once and they honestly felt bad and promised it wouldn't happen again then I would let it go. Maybe something beyond their control happened and they have done something so that it could not happen again.
Now, if they have only had it for weeks or a few months I would be concerned. I might let it go but I would be VERY watchful. If I ever saw it out again I would call the appropriate persons immediately and tell them that these people are not being responsible with the creature. Even if they went out and brought it right back in I would still report them then.

though, then you might have to worry about something "beyond their control" happening often. I don't mind snakes but i would be a little freaked if my neighbors were allowing it to escape all the time!

I have a 4 year old grandbaby that plays in that yard! Are you serious? A python snake only has one time to escape into my yard. With my phobia about snakes, the neighbor just blew it big time. I would be so frightened, I would probably kill that thing without thinking. The one thing I fear most is snakes. Who in the heck owns a poisonous snake for a pet anyway? Those things belong in the wild or a zoo! I have a relative (pictured) that has a pet snake. Needless to say, I don't visit.

I've always thought any wild animal with the potential to harm people should only be housed in zoos, not private homes.
