The sweet taste of victory can come in many forms, and for one Reddit user, it was in the form of fresh raspberries and juicy strawberries. In a previous post on the subreddit r/AmItheAs*hole, the user, who we’ll call OP, had shared their frustration with their neighbor’s children constantly trespassing on their property and peering into their windows. Despite multiple attempts to confront the neighbor and ask them to keep their kids away, nothing seemed to work. That is until OP decided to take matters into their own hands.
After seeking advice from fellow Reddit users, OP decided to plant a wall of blackberries and raspberries along the sides of their garden that faced the driveway. They strategically placed the bushes about 30 cm from the edge, ensuring that there were no overhanging branches. To reach the tomatoes and strawberries on the other side of the berry wall, one would have to walk through the fruit bushes or walk around the side of OP’s house. It was a clever way to deter the children from entering their property without permission.
For a while, it seemed to work. The kids were no longer walking around OP’s house, and they hadn’t entered their garden either. But when berry season arrived, things took a turn. The kids couldn’t resist the temptation of the juicy raspberries and strawberries and were caught stealing from OP’s garden. OP immediately put a stop to it, telling them off and informing their mother of their actions. However, the real test came when the neighbor’s husband and two sons were caught picking berries and clearing OP’s plants. But this time, OP didn’t confront them. Instead, they called the cops and started filming.
