They Stole from My Mom’s Garden—So I Planted a Perfect Revenge

In a quiet Texas suburb, my mom’s garden was her pride and joy — until her flowers, gnomes, and even entire plants started mysteriously disappearing. Furious and determined to protect her hard work, I — Amber — installed a dash cam in my car facing the yard. Within days, the footage revealed the culprits: our own neighbors!

Instead of confronting them outright, I got creative. I designed a giant “Wall of Shame” poster with snapshots from the footage, complete with hilarious nicknames like “Petal Pilferer” and “Mr. Potato Head.” We posted it in our front yard for all to see.
