Thanks for sharing. that was too funny.

[masraum]

Awesome!

It's too bad they didn't pour a couple of buckets of water over the car too.

no, not where I live....close this year but not quite. This video went viral, he;s been on a lot of the morning shows....'.Revenge is a dish that's best served cold, and it doesn't come colder than this. David Welles is a man with a snow blower that deliberately buried a neighbor's car under a mountain of snow.

Welles runs a home security business and uses his home as a showcase, with surveillance cameras everywhere.

Welles tells INSIDE EDITION that he has cameras in the front, on the sides and a couple in the back. The cameras captured a woman coolly walking her dog onto his property, and taking his snow shovel.

She used it to dig out her snowed in car and she didn't even return the shovel.

"I decided to blow snow all over her car and bury her car. Someone being so brazen as to walk up and just take it and not give it back, is what really bothered me," said Welles.

Welles vowed there was no way she was getting away with it. When the neighbor left, Welles used his snow blower to blast her car with loads of snow.

The cameras taped the car gradually disappearing under the man-made blizzard.

When Welles' neighbor returned hours later, she seemed shocked to find a blanket of white covering her car. She starts clearing it off, this time with a broom, and it took her four hours.

Welles put the video online, just for some friends to see and it promptly went viral getting almost 400,000 hits.

The response to his snowy payback has been mixed. Some say Welles was justified, but others say he went far too far.

"I thought it was, you know, justice meets the crime," said Welles.'

I hope he left a note or something explaining why... Otherwise there's no way the shovel-stealing neighbor will ever understand why it happened. I bet she went to all her friends with a story about what a d*ckhead one of her neighbors is "for no reason". No way she correlates her pilferage with that otherwise... People are simply too dense.

Hell, that was great! It was just about perfect. How could he have gone too far? What he did didn't cause any damage or deprive anyone of anything tangible (like stealing a shovel). Someone stole a shovel to make their life more convenient, and he completely reversed the benefit that was gained. He's still out a shovel, but the person is just out a little time. I still think some water thrown ini to the mix would have been great.

Excellent! Several years ago somebody stole my snow shovels and if I knew who did it, I would have done the same thing!

Not that funny... he didn't bury the car enough, IMO. And her reaction was boring also...

FWIW, he did get the shovel back. IIRC, he found it out back behind his shed a few days later, or something like that.
