Jerk Repeatedly Damages Pecan Groves With His Trailer Truck, So The Landowner Teaches Him An Expensive Lesson
Recently, Reddit user TboneXXIV shared a story of persistence. One dude persistently parked his trailer truck on his parents’ pecan droves and they persistently tried to stop him.
TboneXXIV explained that the trespass parking could’ve caused thousands of dollars worth of damage but the dude wasn’t willing to cooperate. It suited his laziness.
For multiple reasons — all described in the story — the landowners were having a hard time getting the dude off their property. However, with the help of an understanding local sheriff, they made his boss pay them a hefty amount of $7,800. All of which was deducted from the dude’s payroll. Needless to say, it worked. Continue scrolling to learn how they devised (and executed!) the brilliant revenge plan.

TboneXXIV said their parents have been growing pecans as a primary occupation since the early 1990’s and this story took place in 1996.
“This is the only incident of repeat trespass parking they have had,” they told Bored Panda. “All other incidents over the years have mostly involved petty theft.”
Since quite a bit of time has passed after the whole ordeal, TboneXXIV agreed to share a few updates on the lives of the main characters of our story. The sheriff, for example, has always been a friendly guy, but definitely political. “He wanted to do the job, but also be popular so he didn’t like to make arrests unless they would result in a definite conviction,” TboneXXIV explained. “He was in office there for about 20 years and now serves on the county board instead.”
As for the Dude, he still drives a truck for the same employer. “As is with most rural communities, even when you aren’t on speaking terms with someone you hear about them,” TboneXXIV said, adding that their family simply can’t escape him. “His son got married to my cousin. They divorced after a couple of years but I would hear bits of information secondhand all along. That’s how I knew his boss took the money out of his checks until it was paid back. Dude complained about that every 2 weeks to his family but got a lot of ‘We told you not to do that. Serves you right!’ in response.”
Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. So I guess the Dude wasn’t insane to think he would keep getting away with parking his trailer truck on the pecan droves; he was just optimistic. However, he shouldn’t have underestimated the lengths a person can go to when taking revenge. After all, it’s the only justifiable form of kicking someone in their nut sack.
People had a lot to say after reading the story
I love it when a-holes get their own a--es slammed into their faces. Dopavash gave the guy every chance. This is not about revenge. It's about honor and justice.
The disrespect shown by the truck driver was massive. I'm surprised the dad never phoned the company that owned the truck and informed them that their vehicle was trespassing.
Load More Replies...Similar thing happened to my fathers property. No damage done. Just customers assuming that his yard was extra parking for the convenient store and burger joint next to his house. That wasn't all that bad until people would double park and block him in his own driveway. Also customers waiting in the morning just assumed they could come into his garage and have a seat on his picnic tables until the store opened. (Guess they assumed it was a waiting area cuz of the tables and bunches of bananas hanging from the rafters.) My father woke up a few times to the sounds of strangers in his garage (bedroom window connects to garage) that's kinda when he had to intervene lol
My folks had the same issued with hunters trespassing on the farm. They never asked and would run their dogs. Hunters think they can just park and do what ever they want on the farmers farm. Farms are private property and not open to the public. We have the right to say NO. Especially after you have shot my dad just because you saw a pheasant. He was driving a RED tractor, pulling a RED beet digger in the middle of a GREEN beet field. You do not get to hunt across property lines and try to excuse your stupidity.
It's hard to believe he kept parking there even after the police told him. Everything worked out for the farmer though; love the way he handled this - perfect.
When I was in school, my apartment was on the edge of a pecan grove that belonged to my landlord. He had issues with folks climbing his fence next to a well traveled highway and picking up the fallen nuts in the fall. He also had "No Trespassing" signs up on the fence post about every other fence post. The signs also stated that if caught, you would regret it. What he had done was get some paint balls, drained the paint out and refilled with "Skunk Juice" , the odorant used in natural gas so if you get a leak in a line, you can smell it before it blows you up. You also don't wash it off very easily either. It basically has to wear off. Maybe that is what the grove owner should have used on the guys truck. It would have made it so stinky, he wouldn't have been able to stay in it to drive it. A good needle on a medical syringe to stick past the window seals and spray it inside.
Definitely all the better for the explanation of Why the land needs to be so very flat and how much a simple bump in the ground can cost the farmer. Well thought out community supported solution!!
I read the title several times and still thought it said "pelican" instead of "pecan". Made for a super confusing story....
Sounds like the same guy that refuses to wear a mask despite what the CDC says. It will be a ventilator mask when he finally puts one on...
If I was in the same situation, I would phone the trucking company on the second offense and block the truck with my farm equipment.
I wouldn't call it revenge - to me, that would be if pecan farmer had slashed the truck's tires or done some other type of vandalism/damage. This guy just peaceably protected his property and business.
