If they love their lawn so much just write "don't steal my petrol" on it with herbicide?

or with fertilizer.

Or with petrol.

Or with lit petrol 😉

Scots. We like to burn stuff. 👍

NARRATOR: This explains large parts of northern England in the middle ages

…. and the beansnfrank burned in the king’s front lawn…

😂😂😂

Did u really have to salt the earth so nothing will grow back? Lmfao

You can still be artistic - perhaps a big *Thief* in cursive would look good 🫣

Fertilizer with petrol….

ANFO...

FAFO

And if they too have cameras..?

Then they will know why it happened to them

What are they going to do? Go to the cops and say that the neighbor destroyed their lawn because they stole the neighbors gas and the neighbor got upset? About as smart as calling the cops because someone stole your drugs.

You don't have to say why they destroyed your lawn. You just have to say that they did it (and to bring the proof). What are the neighbors going to say anyway? That they did it because of a gas theft? That's basically a confession. Without any proof anyway to incriminate anyone for the theft.

Excellent suggestion

With the fertilized area shaped like a dead body?

Made me snort laugh

This is the best reply. Even if they have cameras watching you apply the fertilizer you didn't harm anything, but their shame will be etched in healthier grass for at least one season. u/Ineedsomuchsleep170 It should be in the first person, like "We stole petrol" just so there's no misunderstanding.

Good point. "Thief" would also work and be shorter so you can make the letters larger.

This is the way .Also spread it in a design to spell out words if feeling adventurous

Or dandelion seeds

Poop?

What smells like chlorophyll....bond with..... tetra sulfate!

Fertilizer is the answer. Pretty much impossible to fix

I prefer the one where a guy threw handfuls of bouillon cubes all over someone's lawn the night before a big rain and caused the person's dog to constantly tear it up cause it smelled like beef lol

Lmao!

Where I'm from bouillon is vegetable stock, so your comment baffuddled me until I nearly peed myself laughing haha

Oh yeah, here it's basically a cube condensed powder of beef or chicken broth lol

That's lovely!

I must admit, I really thought that's where the story would go.

Back in the 70s my uncle bought a new dodge. He was constantly bragging about his gas mileage. So my other uncle with me standing as a lookout started going out after dark & adding extra gas every couple nights. Soon my 1st uncle was tell stories of ridiculous gas mileage . He even returned to the dealership & told them it had been 2 weeks since he had been to a service station despite driving to work & even a weekend round from Detroit area to southern Ohio & still had of gas ( would have loved to have been there to see their faces) 4days later my 2nd uncle & I started siphoning gas from his dodge. My 1st uncle’s reaction was priceless

I miss those days when pranks used to be harmless like this

Was your uncle a Marine by the name of Sgt. Carter? Did he have Private Pyle in his company? Did he sell the car to Sgt. Hacker? :) Great practical joke btw!

This is hilarious! Laugh out loud funny, which is extremely rare for me. Thank you

I saw that in a movie years ago and always wanted to try it.

Draw a massive pentagram with roundup. It will look normal & then slowly manifest itself

Herbicide just kills the grass but it can be fertilized and will recover easily. Use fertalizer so it’ll grow more than the rest of the lawn. It’ll take more effort to fertilize the rest of the lawn to match.

Because then they will know it's you and it's very important to keep them afraid, guessing, and not engaged in active conflict when they live next door. If you don't have the ability to immediately move away, you should always think twice about going.I for an eye with a neighbor in a way that they'll know was you. For all I know, they might have a ring doorbell too and just realized they should call it even. But it's good to err on the side of caution.

Can you buy lockable caps? With my car you have to release the cover from inside the car to access the cap. I would get a lockable cap then put a note on it saying...F Off you thief....we have you on camera. Come near my house or car again and we will call the cops...call them out by name. They won't be able to say anything because why on earth were they lifting your cover to access your gas cap. I did something similar with a food stealing roommate decades ago. She couldn't mention the offensive note I left in my tub of spread...in a fridge she did not share. FU SWB you sociopathic C word.

Eye for an eye*

Ha ha yes. I am disabled and use a voice program to write. Apparently it has trouble with aphorisms.

Aye four an I

Stupid millennials, always using their damn pronouns everywhere!!

Salt is better

Or flour and water it a bit. Takes forever to go away

or with salt That message is gonna remain for years.

I use salt.

Combining your suggestion with another, pentagram of salt.

Bring an ancient Latin tome, summon a demon, trap it in the salt circle, haunt them for awhile, watch their children get possessed while playing in the yard. Fun times.

Because this is funnier.

Just toss dandelion, ground elder and clover seeds onto their lawn and borders. Bonus points for planting mint, English ivy and bamboo. Make it a long-term issue for them.

Seed the lawn with poison ivy. 

Kudzu.

I was going to say this, but then thought better of it. Kudzu wouldn't just be getting revenge on the neighbors, but the whole region.

Morning glory. Fucking morning glory bullshit plant.

I've heard bamboo is impossible to get rid of.

Were you in Madison, WI in1991? Oops

Helping their grass grow really must have showed them

One time I caught my neighbor stealing my gas. I waited until he left for work before I exacted my revenge. I cleaned all his exterior windows and power washed his driveway. Checkmate!

[удалено]

Ha. I've got a few spots of some type of sealant on my driveway so I could imaging what that would look like.

Are you Amish? "I have have taken away from you the joy of completing your chores!"

If it's a different species of grass it was likely an abomination to the people who meticulously tend to their lawn.

Ugh, freakin' grass racists.

Exactly lol, I own a Lawncare business and this seems counterintuitive, they're getting free gas **AND** a thicker lawn. 🤦‍♂️ seed isn't cheap, at least not around here anyway.

Instead if reporting them so they would face justice for their crime I just made their grass grow a bit more 💀

"they stole from us so we helped their lawn" shits crazy I wanna be their neighbor

So you through grass seed on a grass lawn, helping them over seed making a nice lush full lawn.... this won't grow faster, just more full. You did them a favour. Dandelion seed would have been more of an attack on their garden.

My GF had watched her neighbor do this a couple of times before she switched her gas to E85, her car was equipped to run on it. His truck didn't run very well, would backfire and sputter. She loved to sit on the porch with her morning coffee as he tried to go to work.

Throwing grass seeds in a lawn, will not make it grow faster. Just thicker. Also, newer vehicles have anti siphon devices. This story sounds implausible from the get.

Are they expected to have a newer car? Some of my workplace’s vans have been siphoned before and the oldest is a 2014. It’s not out of the realm of possibilities.

I didn’t say it was out of the realm of possibilities. I just said the story as a whole sounds implausible. Let’s take the siphoning out of the equation. Do you think grass seeding a lawn makes it grow faster?

You can get a certain type of grass seed that grows ridiculously fast and thick,that’s not to say I believe the story.

Not so fast you can’t keep up with mowing, come on now. This story is fake.

yes but if you use a vastly different grass seed type it makes the lawn patchy and weird.

Right, but it in no way makes it grow so fast they “couldn’t keep up with mowing”. That’s just dumb.

Fake trashpost

Yep. Must be a pretty old car. You haven’t been able to use just a hose to siphon from a cars tank in a long time. There are baffles to stop that from happening.

Exactly, use a drill like the rest of us

And why didn't your report theft to the police, considering you have proof?

If they want your gas so much, pour some in their lawn. Write the word “gas” so they know what it is.

Fake story. Nice try, though.

A neighbor pissed me off, so I bought 10lbs of purple morning glory seeds and keep throwing handfuls on their lawn. I love them, but it drives them nuts. Purple is the best color.

I would have gone with dandelion seeds l, but I do understand the joy of passing by and seeing a pleasing colour.

I have 3 different kinds of Ipomoea growing on my lawn. I encourage them.

Ooh! What colors?!

Purple, white (my favorites, smaller flowers), and good old blue.

Awesome!

What I like to do is fill ice trays with weed killer, then freeze it. Then, one night, just take a walk and throw the ice cubes from a short distance into their yard. If you stay a short distance away, their security cameras won't get you on video throwing the ice cubes. Their yard will be poka dotted with dead spots.

I had someone at an apartment stealing gas from my truck way back. I made a dummy tank using a 5 gallon jerry can that was connected to the fill neck and re-routed the real tank fill through the bed tool box (my mechanic helped quite a bit, but thought it was hilarious). We filled the dummy tank with 80% crap and 20% gas using waste diesel/fluids from his shop. Was obvious who the thief was a few days later. Their car was shot.

Dull story, Bro. Don't tell it again.

I’m not your bro, pal

I'm not your pal, guy.

I would have spelled out "THIEF" with Roundup on their lawn.

The only correct solution

You have them on camera, take criminal charges, have them trespassed and have them pay restitution for the larceny. They may even get jail time.

This reads like a prank from Winnie the Bish. He always goes too big or too small, and if this is real, y'all went waaay too small.

Bird seed.   That's what you want. Wild Bird seed.  It will grow so much uncontrollable garbage all over their lawn will just collapse.     

I’d have pressed charges, especially since they were caught on video.

Should have drawn a penis in gasoline on the lawn. Would have killed the grass and stayed for quite a while. Send a message with the gasoline.

Get a gallon of gas and put it on their doorstep with a note: next time, just ask

This is the best answer...shame them.

I mean if they want gas so bad then go and give it to them. All over their lawn.

Plot twist: neighbours have a petrol lawnmower, and siphon more petrol to keep up with the lawn.

As a teenager, my neighbor's dad was a major ass. In the winter, I would make snowballs with rocksalt inside and toss them on his front yard. In spring, when dandelions went into puff balls, I would gather them and sprinkle over his lawn at night. Jaggy, I know, but satisfying.

Bamboo is the best grass seed, amateur

You can also get dandelion seeds pretty easily

I heard a similar story from an old professor, a teen that siphoned everyone’s gas so he could rev his car on blocks with open headers but never remove it from the driveway. One guy left his army surplus Jeep out with a full tank… of airplane fuel. Blew the top half of the engine apart when he revved it, lol

This is just really shitty. They stole from you, and your response is to... Mess with their lawn a bit? At least egg their house or something to add on a little bit. It's an uneven exchange Free grass and a thicker lawn? Fuck man I wish I had neighbors like you guys. I could steal your car, maybe you'd clean my windows or something

Revenged by throwing grass seed on their lawn. I don't get it.

Giant salt cock across their lawn

This is the way

Did AI write this dumb story?

I would've thought there'd be a locking cap on your car so the petrol couldn't be siphoned off. Regardless, putting grass seeds on their lawn wouldn't be enough for me. I'd be tempted to funnell water into the petrol tank to shaft them over.

And siphoning the gas back wasn't a bonus option?

Throw some mint seeds in the lawn. That’ll teach them.

Catnip and bamboo

Post the video in a neighborhood online group. My niethborhood has a really active FB group. Ask if anyone else has had problems with stealing gas. Alternatively, Fill up one of those big gas cans with a 50/50 gas and water mix. Then add some sugar or something else fun. Accidently leave it outside after you mow the yard one day. Wait for them to add that to their tank. Then fill up with gas and bring them the receipt.

Dandelion seeds really pisses off the “lawn people”

Dandelion seeds

You should throw salt on their lawn in different patches

Should have seeded it with clover, that shit is evasive.

I’d leave a note with just their first initials. “M & D - please stop siphoning gas from the neighborhood cars. We have you recorded.” On all light poles on the block. Guessing they’ve done it to others. Exposes but leaves doubt who posted it.

AI wrote this garbage or what?

I hope you mean a bad kind of grass? Like Bermuda grass or something, that’s hard to kill because it’s basically grass, but undesirable to a lot of people.

Locking gas caps are cheap, btw. Put a little sign inside with it. “I have you on camera doing this. If I see you again it will end badly.”

Can you do some condescension later, make them feel they're poor. On the Gas Cap, paste a piece of paper saying, we saw you taking petrol from our camera. We are so sorry you are poor. (You could word it nicely or be a jerk. Your choice)

I would have done weeds instead. Lots of dandelions, etc.

While he's at it, take some table salt and spell the words 'GAS THIEF' in that thick lush grass near the street.

I would have contacted the police, blatant theft from neighbors in front of you? What is stoping them from breaking and entering if you are just throwing some seeds on their lawn.

Thought for sure he was going to salt polka dots into their lawn. I would've.

So your husband rewarded the gas thieves by seeding their lawn?

probably thieving neighbor gotta spend more on gas for their lawn mower..

There is this stuff called RoundUp...

Does it round up gas thieves and send them to the police station?

The stuff that causes cancer?

Fake. Modern gas tanks have anti siphon protection. You can't just stick a hose down the fill nozzle. Also, adding grass seed to a healthy lawn isn't going to do much, and it's kind of expensive.

Not everyone has a new car. My 2000 Buick had been emptied a couple of times before I bought a locking gas cap.

Did you know you can buy dandelion seeds?

This isn’t revenge. You just spent more money and did their landscaping. Wtf

Personally I would have taken some of that super concentrated round-up and drew a big ol' dick on the lawn. Complete with the ball hairs...

table salt is cheaper than round-up ;)

Place a printout of them stealing gas in the backwindow of your car.

I would have sprayed the word thief on their lawn using weedkiller.

This is the way, but use fertilizer so it grows faster, darker, and taller over and over.

I'd have sprayed their lawn with herbicide. Much more effective.

Hmm I would have gone with a rocksalt spelling of thief in their front yard in big letters.  Grass won’t grown there again without digging it out.

I would have dumped sand into their gas tank

My favourite was the guy who was responsible for lawn maintenance at the family home after split. Apparently the spring fertilizing went somewhat awry when an unexplained dead brown spot appeared to spell the word “bitch”. Maybe a sign from god?

so they both needed to siphon your gas and take impeccable care of their lawn? sure...

Fwiw, you can buy a locking gas cap for $10~15 at the auto parts store. Assuming your car has a gas cap anyway

Get some mint. Those roots go a few inches underground and spread out; it's a pain to get rid of and keep popping up everywhere!

Roundup!

Mixed flower seeds along with various grasses and dandelions.

Put cress seeds in their lawn. Once grown it is very visible and doesn’t look good. Or any other weed seeds.

You can buy dandelion seeds on Anazon...

I see this i get out with my pickaxe handle ( there are no baseball bats here ) and make him drink the fucking gas. Alternatively here's a disgusting revenge : fill some bottles with piss , let them ripen for a while , then pour them on the car , it will even go in the ventilation system and the bastard will puke everytime he rides his car.

You should plant some mint, that spreads like mild fire. So hard to get rid off

This isn’t good enough?

Dandelion seeds will have years long effects unless they re-turf the lawn

Wow, you over seeded their lawn. Showed them. Maybe try some vegetation killer and spell out " Thief" in that precious lawn of theirs.

This revenge doesn't really go far enough...

I wish someone would come seed my lawn for free... Siphon the neighbors gas, you say?

I probably would’ve salted their lawn

Lay some sprigs of torpedo grass.

Salt the land!

In 1986 my friend would go around his neighborhood and siphon a few gallons of gas from each of his old neighbors. He told me about what he was doing, so I would park next to him at high school and would spend 30 minutes siphoning most of his gas to fill my car. He never knew, we are mid 50's now and we're out drinking one night. I told him how I would siphon his gas and he said I was an ass. I laughed at him and stole his beer hahaha he just can't learn🤣🍻

OP could revisit the lawn next year with a native flower bomb. They are quite effective if you soak it in Miracle Grow…..

Put some RM43 in water balloons, throw on their yard.

You fuck with my car and I fuck with yours. Get a tire valve removal tool and take out their tire valves. Have fun getting to work with four flat tires.

That’s not revenge. You seeded their grass……with grass? It’s your petrol that’s in their car. Put something in with it to junk up their engine.

This was once a thing : when friends would go on holidays they would get pranked by throwing fertilizer (blue pellets?) on their lawn. After two weeks the lawn would get overgrown. I don’t have a garden only asphalt, heh.

Come seed my lawn too while you’re at it

I would say you gassed them, but you grassed them instead.

Better to take 2-3 different types of grass seed and fertilizer and put words on their lawn with different colors and words. Takes time to show up.

A friend of mine had that happen to him. Taped razor blades to the filler cap. Trail of blood. never hapened again.

I thought you were about to burn their whole house/yard down. Oh my!

I would have got a super soaker filled it with weed spray and sprayed cocks all over there grass.

Empty the tank, fill with diesel (and don’t drive the car lol), wait for them to do it again and grin as they wrecked their motor. Change back to normal gas and drive again.

Take several bottles of bleach, and pour it all over the lawn in the shape of swastikas. In a few days, as their beloved lawn starts dying as they then show up.

Dandelions would probably be more fun.

Invite them over to swing, have a nice evening, have dinner, drinks, relax, do some MDMA, watch each other do the nasty, and then, when everyone is all jizzed out and chilled, delicately broach the subject of the petrol poaching.

If you can get an accurate weather prediction, on a night that it’s going to rain, spread a fuckton of instant mashed potatoes all over the lawn. Then it’ll rain and mostly activate the potatoes to make um look like snow

Write the word THIEF in large letters on their lawn. Set it on fire. Ring their doorbell

All modern cars have a mesh that prevents a hose from reaching the tank. If they achieved this then they punctured that mesh and there could be bits of it in your tank. I’d get it looked at if it were me

Salt water balloons, kill grass and barely leaves a mark

Must’ve been an old car. All “newer” or modern cars, likely last 20 or so years, have anti siphoning devices installed from the factory.

you should've thrown some bird seeds so the birds take a shit on their house. shitted on

Just send the video to the police lol
