Illegal Dumper Leaves ID In His Trash And Gets It Returned To His Front Yard

ADVERTISEMENT

Frederick Tomlinson, a man living in Queensland, Australia, has just done a great act of kindness by returning a load of ‘belongings’ (trash) that a neighbor ‘lost’ (illegally dumped) in the wilderness. Fortunately for the internet, Tomlinson took pictures of his ‘helpful gesture’ (delicious justice) for the internet to enjoy.

The trash included a fish tank, children’s books, and the offender’s ID, which allowed Tomlinson to track him down and return his rubbish. He later learned from another neighbor that the offender had been dumping what had been left behind by his wife and kids, who left him for beating his wife.

More info: Facebook (h/t: mashable)

Frederick Tomlinson found an illegally dumped pile of trash in Queensland, Australia

Fortunately, he also found the ID of the person who had dumped it, allowing him to ‘return’ everything

“Two ute loads, had another bloke the size of Hercules who helped me as he wasn’t impressed with it either”

The trash included children’s books and toys

“He done a house clean up 2 days ago, we found the rubbish and returned it”

Great justice! But you really wanna be careful messing with guys like that. Who knows what he's capable of... Probably not much though

I agree. But with a "bloke the size of Hercules" with him, it was probably safer than it would have been if he were alone.

Did they report it to the police? The guy should have been arrested for domestic violence against his wife.

that's the wife's prerogative, don't judge without the facts. What they should have reported was illegal dumping.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the 'bloke' came out and saw that mess in his driveway! LOL!

The only thing that would've made this better is seeing the guys reaction when he saw his 'special delivery'!

He may not even live there anymore, it could be someone new. Making all kinds of assumptions here on too little information. Report it to the authorities and let them take care of it. Vigilantes are dangerous to society, not helpful.

Good job, but also needs to be named, shamed and reported to authorities.

Super! I did a similar thing in Johannesburg, SA. It was a smaller amount, I found the address, made a parcel and send it by post with the remark "Return to sender". I would have liked to see the person open the parcel.

If identifoed as coming forma certain address we all ought to think of doing this if we have the right transport to do it. we could also have the council do it instead of just clearing it - get them to dump it in their owner's backyard

I say awesome, people who dump their trash in the bush or along the road should have to pay for the cleaning, Maybe the people who returned the trash to the offender should have added other garbage as well and see how they like that.
