He Watched Neighbor Expand Into His Yard For Years, But He Finally Got The Revenge He Deserves

he watched neighbor expand into his yard for years but he finally got his revenge he walked out onto his porch and couldn't believe his eyes even after his warnings the pavers were still there he began to feel anger surge inside him but then he stopped himself like a pro-chess player he calculated every possible outcome playing them out in his mind suddenly his stern mouth relaxed and a slow grin began to spread across his face he knew what he was going to do about his audacious neighbor satisfied he sat back and waited karma will take care of it he whispered chuckling to himself and oh boy was he right miles was an unassuming man he'd work hard for all he had in his life he'd been a devoted husband father and grandfather now in his golden years he was content to sit on his porch and look out onto the magnificent nature reserve that boarded his new property situated in a quiet retirement village in the country but whenever he peeked into his neighbor's yard he grew increasingly concerned miles looked from his tiny backyard to his neighbors again his neighbor's yard extended a good eight feet beyond his it was by far the largest property on the estate how is that possible at first he assumed that the man had just been lucky or he had been able to afford a larger piece of land but it wasn't long before he knew what his neighbor was really up to miles was a friendly man and he quickly befriended all his new neighbors in exchange phone numbers including the man with the largest backyard he felt a mixture of envy and admiration when he saw that the man also owned a cherry red sports car something he had never been able to afford nevertheless he was content in his little slice of paradise until one fateful day on the day in question miles happened to look over and spot his neighbor doing something strange the man deliberately paced back and forth walking the length of his property with a dissatisfied look on his face he disappeared for a few minutes and then returned with a wheelbarrow full of expensive pavers he began to lay them one by one and then he did something that had miles doing a double take the man began laying his paving from his front door after a few hours in a lot of huffing and puffing he had paved his entire backyard all the way up to the old fence post that designated the boundary between his property in the reserve then he made a move that made miles jaw drop miles watched his neighbor brazenly stomp up to the rickety boundary fence post and rip them out one by one then he moved them back by two feet back into the reserve and began to pound them in again miles couldn't believe what he was witnessing now he knew why the man had such an enormous backyard he knew he had to do something the man was beginning to clear the land to make space for his pavers when miles approached him he walked up and gently asked a man to stop what he was doing having worked for the national park services miles thought that perhaps his neighbor wasn't fully aware of the repercussions for what he was doing but then all hell broke loose miles had barely gotten a word out when his neighbor rudely interrupted him turning aggressively to face him he began to yell you're new here i've been here 10 years eastpat mind your own damn business miles didn't have to be told twice he left without another word deciding that pressing the issue with a defensive man wasn't going to get him anywhere but maybe there was another way to make him understand miles clenched his fists helplessly and watched the man complete his paving effectively extending his yarn by an additional two feet could he stand idly by and watch the reservey love get destroyed by the audacious man slowly he must have been doing this for years where would it end then it suddenly dawned on him that he didn't have to do anything all he had to do was watch it all play out for a full year miles watched and waited it was summer again and the reserve was eerily quiet many of the park's residents had traveled north for their summer holiday including his rude neighbor he wasn't plotting revenge he had a strong feeling in his gut that karma would come knocking soon and sure enough it did one bright morning miles was sitting on his porch enjoying the sunshine when the county came to check on the reserve and when they saw miles neighbor's backyard they were not impressed miles watched them pace back and forth then they began to pull out maps take photographs and make phone calls then more people showed up it turns out that miles neighbor had been doing this for years pulling out the boundary fence post in grabbing land however and whenever he saw fit he had put the new pavers down so that he could park his golf cart and cherry red sports car out back while he was away for the summer the county would have to move them before they did anything else so they taped a notice to the man's door and left miles curious walks up to read the notice it states the man is in violation of encroachment onto protected lands and that he has 30 days to move his car tear up the pavers and pay a fine of 11 000 the fine is for damage to protected species that inhabit the protected land and for trespassing but that wasn't all failure to comply within 30 days would result in the golf cart and sports car being towed away and impounded and the pavers would be dug up and carted off at the man's expense additionally the fine will be increased for every day past the deadline miles smiled to himself should he call his neighbor the month flew by and the man still hadn't returned from his summer home just a week after the deadline miles was in for quite a show he sat back and watched as they unceremoniously moved the golf cart then they came back for the cherry red sports car after they'd towed both vehicles away they began to tear out the fence poles one by one he'd tried to warn him but it was too late for that now all he could do was sit back and observe karma doing its work then the pavers were ripped out and hauled away and the rickety old fence posts and ropes were replaced with new ones this time they were replaced with metal posts with steel cables that were deeply embedded in the ground with concrete there was no way they would ever be moved now the process took weeks and miles route neighbor was none the wiser when the contractors finished their work the reserve was secured behind steel solar powered cameras were even installed to monitor the wildlife remotely and the notices on the neighbor's door grew with each week miles waited with a mixture of glee and anxiety for his neighbor to arrive back home he was definitely in for a surprise it was november when the man finally came back miles was in for another show he watched him pull into the drive and walk up to the front door which was now festooned with notices the man read them one by one with a look of incredulity before digging out the first notice then he ran out to his backyard and began to scream the man rushed back to his car to fetch his cell phone and proceeded to call the county to figure out where his sports car and golf cart were unleashing a torrent of curses in his blind rage miles watched quietly from the window smiling to himself but the poetic justice of it all was still to come three days later the man confronted miles demanding to know if he was there when the county stole his car and destroyed his backyard miles replied that yes he saw it all well why didn't you call me when you saw them putting notices on my door you had my number up north miles paused before replying he said that he had thought about calling but figured that it would be best if he minded his own damn business but miles revenge paled in comparison to the sweet justice that a farmer named joe dished out when he found out that some rude neighbors were illegally dumping their trash on his land he woke up at the crack of dawn to tend to his farm and what he saw next made him see red he'd have the last say he would make sure of that looking closer at what he now held in his hands would make it all that much easier joe had worked his farm since he was barely out of diapers he came from a long line of farmers and his father taught him everything he knew but the farm life everyone has so glamorized is far from the truth of raising your own animals in crops to survive and sadly that's not where their hardship stops joe lives in the uk and has recently become a target of what is called fly tipping basically jerks come in the middle of the night to dump their unwanted rubbish on any open piece of land be it a field or the middle of the road without the farmer's knowledge or consent so what could he do the part that joe found hard to swallow is the fact that he's legally accountable for cleaning up the mess even though he didn't create it all he wanted was to not have an extra burden laid upon him on top of supplying amazing crops for everyone to eat farming's a thankless job but not this thankless waking up early on the farm as he was accustomed to doing joe came across a new truck full of filth squarely dumped next to one of his most productive fields how had someone gotten so close to being to dump a lot of rubbish without him knowing joe vowed to somehow find the culprit come hell or high water while driving along the dirt track next to his bass field joe came to a dead stop lying right in the middle of the road was a huge pile of rubbish not just any old junk though all along the road lay piles upon piles of scattered garbage joe had just about had all he could take he dismounted the tractor and went looking for details sifting through the debris joe stumbled across some incriminating evidence amongst the rubble and broken odds and ends joe found exactly what he was searching for post he couldn't have received a better break upon the envelopes clearest day was written the name of the jerk that dumped all the building and household rubbish on joe's farm for him to sort out he just about had enough of this nonsense it was costing him an arm and a leg to remove the rubbish that was legally inclined to and he wasn't going to stand for it any longer hedging a trailer to his car and plotting a map joe had a way forward at last in an average part of town not very far away was the address that was in all the letters joe had found he had plotted his gps course to take him right outside the dumping culprit's house revenge glistened in his eyes as he began the journey to getting even in the middle of the night just as the dumper had done to him joe threw every single last piece of trash collected from his farm onto the pavement of the oblivious dumper he smiled as he thought about the owner of the junk waking up to a filthy curb that's not to say that he didn't feel the twenge guilt doing the deed what happened a few days later would leave him in shock the dumper was not happy at all the sight of his curb being polluted by his own rubbish and he immediately set about confronting joe after all he knew exactly where his junk had returned from the audacity of this man is unbelievable joe could hardly believe what he was hearing as the angry citizen lambasted him for his retaliation joe however was not to be deterred for a long time now farms have been fighting the law because the legal burden on farmers to deal with rubbish dumped illegally on their lands is grossly unfair joe claimed and he was not alone in the consensus in joe's mind something more needed to be done to protect farmers but what a spokesperson for the rotherham council said we're investigating fly tipping and other waste defenses in this area and we're progressing potential legal proceedings therefore it wouldn't be appropriate to comment further till this is concluded some advice that joe received stuck in his mind and he only hoped the original dumper didn't know the law as he did keep full details of your clearance and disposal costs successful prosecution can mean that your costs incurred for the removal of the waste can also be recovered there was a conundrum here if this man insisted on playing hardball he'd have to admit to illegally dumping the original waste in the first place leaving him open to a hefty fine as much as joe was if cod or proven to have been fly tipping you could be held responsible and face an unlimited fine which could get messy luckily the dumper didn't seem aware of this and joe was able to take a firmer stand and with bolstered courage told the man in no uncertain terms that if one more load of garbage was left on his farm for him to clean up he would be sure to know exactly where it belonged and tell your friends joe threatened as he left the bewildered man outside his farm fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste it's a crime that damages the environment risks public health and costs taxpayers to clean up items most commonly dumped are things such as furniture ovens and fridges it is illegal to fly tip with a potential of up to fifty thousand pounds or sixty three thousand one hundred and seventy dollars in fines in addition to a maximum prison sentence of five years and more joe had a feeling that this wouldn't be the end of his dumping plight and rigged cctv cameras in areas where the dumping happened most often soon his investment paid off now he had proof and the results were even more satisfying than returning the initial load of rubbish on his nemesis pavement with gleeful intent he handed over all the footage to the local waste enforcement unit a pet on the back and he went home to await justice the angry dumper was about to get his just desserts he just didn't know it yet joe made sure to be there when the local waste enforcement unit arrived at the fly tipper's residence now he stayed out of sight he just couldn't resist watching justice being served on this person that felt entitled to lay waste to his farmland after questioning and formalities the show began pulling a lovely black bmw up onto the tow bed the officers made it clear that the vehicle had been identified as the car doing the dumping it would make its way to the impound lot and whoever came to claim it would have some explaining to do the environment agency generally deal with larger deposits more than a single tipper load or more hazardous deposits or where there's evidence of organized criminality to the deposit where there's greater harm to the environment or human health the environment agency is more likely to get involved rather than the local authority they'll do so whether this takes place on public or private land depending on whether they can be encouraged to investigate that in itself can prove difficult that is no guarantee that they'll shoulder the cleanup costs that said a successful prosecution by the environment agency also allows an order to be sought to reimburse the landowner for their cleanup costs in the future joe maintains that he'll do more to safeguard his land such as adding more gates and locking up areas to his farm as well as adding lights and cameras with the fees becoming larger and larger to legally dump joe is sure this is not the last time he'll encounter fly tipping but joe's not the only one who's resorted to drastic measures when it comes to someone else's trash when this landlord saw what a status nightmare tenants had left the apartment in he knew just what to do he woke up and checked his bank account but still nothing it had been over a year since these tenants had moved in and he still hadn't received a single rental payment promise after idle promise had been made and this was the last straw little did he know he was about to walk into a landlord's worst nightmare and he was gonna make them pay thomas raveau was an optimistic man and when he met the couple with three well-mannered children who'd inquired about renting an apartment from him it seemed nice enough after filling out the requisite paperwork they'd all passed the financial and security checks with flying colors there were no red flags and thomas was confident that he'd made the right decision thomas spent a week making sure the french apartment was ready for his new tenants he repainted the home from top to bottom with a new coat of white paint check the fittings cornices door handles and plumbing to make sure all was in working order he hired a wood polishing machine and buffed the hardwood floors until they gleamed with everything in order the seemingly perfect family began to move in bringing with them boxes of their belongings which they stacked neatly in the hallway thomas presented them with the keys and went on his merry way two months flew by and then four but he still hadn't received his first rental payment at first he thought nothing of it and chalked it down to a banking error surely there had been some kind of mistake thomas made a call to his bank perhaps the payments weren't reflecting in his bank account for some reason with a family of his own he was starting to feel the pinch without a steady stream of income but what the woman on the customer caroline said made him see red there have been no rental payments from his new tenants at all he angrily dialed their number but there was no answer he called again and again reasoning the father of the three must be busy suddenly his call was dropped and he began to suspect the worst they were avoiding him this continued for an entire 14 months thomas was a patient man but enough was enough thomas pulled up to the pristine apartment block and walked down the drive he knocked on the door but there was no answer thomas had suspected as much so he whipped out a spare key he was going to give these tenants a piece of his mind when he creaked the unold door open the sight in the hallway left him reeling the entire apartment was stacked from floor to ceiling with trash broken furniture lay in heaps of splintered wood children's toys littered the once immaculate hardwood floor dishes piled up high on every surface and the stench was unbearable and the smell of rotten food hung in the air like a thick fog thomas held his head in disbelief how could anybody live in such filth his eyes took it all in as he stood with his mouth turned up in disgust there were holes punched in the drywall and there was evidence that there had been dogs living in her tomb he took a minute to calm himself and then he started to hatch a plan there was such a wonton disregard for his property that thomas almost cried this apartment had belonged to his grandfather and when he'd passed thomas had inherited it making the tough decision to rent it out he needed the money and with a family of his own to feed it it had been a godsend and now this ruined well he would show them thomas pulled out his phone and called his lawyer who gave him the go-ahead then thomas knocked on his neighbor's door he asked the neighbor if his tenants had been in the apartment recently but he said it had been empty for weeks furious thomas made another call these lieutenants were gonna pay luckily his tenants were listed he quickly searched directory and found their new address he was incredulous as he walked from room to room inspecting the damages they left a mountain of trash for him to clean up and had moved on without a word his hands fisted into balls and sweat dripped from his forehead something inside mild mannered thomas had finally snapped the truck pulled up to the drive noisily and men started to stream into the building they were too aghast at what was inside and immediately got to work loading the entire foul mess onto the dump truck when they heard thomas plan they applauded him everyone wanted to see these people get their comeuppance they were going to give them a taste of their own medicine broken furniture garbage paper dog feces rotten food and dirty dishes was all piled up onto the truck in a stinking heap thomas had never seen so much filth finally the apartment was cleared of trash and thomas followed the truck to its destination outside the tenant's newly rented apartment just a few blocks away the truck backed up with a beep beep and tipped the heap of trash right onto the route tenant's driveway onlookers gathered and couldn't help but gawk at such a ghastly delivery but thomas smiled when he thought of the rude people's reaction when they saw what surprise he'd left for them thomas uploaded the video of his revenge onto facebook and youtube and it quickly gained traction around the world local news stations picked up the story and the original video has garnered over a million views most commenters praised thomas for teaching his nightmare tenants a lesson in common decency one commenter wrote love it this needs to be done in the united states i've seen some disgusting tenants in my neighborhood but not all who saw thomas's revenge video have praised him some viewers have voiced their concerns not a bad idea but if these tenants can't pay rent move to a new place which is not their place you just made a big mess for a new landlord who now can sue you for jumping on his property think man i know you're upset but you put a new landlord in the middle and he did nothing to you but thomas stands firmly in his decision it was carnage inside everything was totally destroyed the carpet's messed up there are holes in the walls all the paintwork needs redoing and we will need to disinfect it all the smell is unbearable i had a legal representative witnessed the damage before we emptied the place thomas says in his defense and he has a message for his tenants this is how this flat was returned to me living like that with three kids bravo not to mention the food that has gone bad in the fridge food offered to you by restaurant owners from their heart shame on you good luck to your new landlord thomas also had to pay for all the damages to his once immaculate property he added i loaded everything into a dumpster and brought them back home i met the authorities and we talked for now where i'm not worried the old tenants had to clear the sidewalk and bring everything to the dump tuesday night everything's cleaned but do you think the unbelievably inconsiderate tenants learn their lesson you
