Apartment living can sometimes bring out the strangest conflicts.

When one neighbor discovers a persistent coin jamming issue in their building, they find themselves taking a stand for apartment security, all while managing to play a little prank of their own.

Read on for the full story.

Finally found a culprit for some nonsense

A couple of neighbors have been jamming coins into the access doors of my apartment building.

They reported the issue to management, but decided to take it a step further.

I’ve been in regular contact with management about it and gotten approval for posting a security camera on my patio.

Finally, I got one of them on video actively compromising the front door’s latch.

Before reporting the crime, they had one last task to do.

I will be sharing the footage with property management come Monday, but I wanted to give the guy at least one of his pennies back.

They come up with an unusual method to return the coin.

Couldn’t find any tape, so I sliced a delivery sticker that didn’t rip up the packaging it was attached to instead.

The first one I found read “curbside pickup,” so I used that to stick his penny back onto his apartment door.

They plan to get justice on the perpetrator, but not before one last unexpected move.

I plan to sit down with management either over the weekend or on Monday to report.

They have been clear that they will address this issue if I can provide solid evidence, and I finally… FINALLY have some.

I’m just glad I was able to give the guy his penny back; he clearly needs it more than I do.

Now that’s how you take matters into your own hands.

What did Reddit have to say?

This commenter has a helpful tip that could prove useful later.

The police should probably be informed too.

They’ve already gotten this far — why not make sure their investigation is as thorough as possible?

The culprit may be in a world of hurt now, but at least they’ll have a few cents to their name.

This petty revenge was worth a pretty penny.
