There are many ways to break the law, including putting up a fence in someone else’s name.

Who would’ve guessed?

Let’s read this Reddit post about what happens when a neighbor seeks revenge for the unpermitted fence.

Honestly, I’d say these neighbors got off easy…

You’re going to use my address to get a permit for a project? I guess I’ll tear your fence down.

This isn’t really my story, however it happened on the street that I live on.

Any petty revenge is good, even if it isn’t yours!

There is a peculiar house that’s on the top of our hill where strange activities go on.

The occupants decided to keep their illicit behavior hidden by building a privacy fence all around their property.

This feels like something a cartoon character would do.

What’s funny is that they used the address for the neighbor across the street in order to get a fence permit approved in our city.

The neighbor found out that the fence was under their address and name, so what did they do?

Um, move the fence to his yard?

They tore the fence down and when the occupants complained, our neighbor showed them legal documents stating it was under his name and address.

Oh, well, I guess it is his property.

Moral of the story is to not lie on your documents to the city, or someone might come along and tear your fence down.

Man, if only someone would put an above-ground pool in my name.

Let’s see what Reddit’s got to say about this.

First came the jokes…

Then came the petty revenge alternatives…

And finally, the ethics at hand.

This neighbor had reason to complain, but he shouldn’t have destroyed property.

At least, that’s what Reddit thought.
