Key Points:
- A homeowner suspected his neighbor of stealing gasoline from his five-gallon gas can and used an old laptop with motion detection to catch him on video taking the gas shortly after the homeowner left the house.
- Instead of confronting the neighbor, the homeowner filled the gas can with urine, making a show of preparing to leave, which caused the neighbor’s lawnmower and car to break down after using the tainted fuel.
- The neighbor later asked the homeowner to submit a ride-along application on his behalf, which led the homeowner to remember that such applications involve background checks for warrants.
- The homeowner submitted the application using the neighbor’s information, resulting in the neighbor’s arrest due to outstanding warrants.
- The story was shared on Reddit’s r/ProRevenge subreddit, praised for its proportional and well-executed revenge, though legal caution is advised regarding the use of someone else’s personal information.
