'I returned the favor': Worst neighbor ever steals dude's stuff, dude tricks the police give him the theif's stuff too

Having terrible neighbors is never fun—as we've covered many times… Noisy, inconsiderate, selfish neighbors make the barest existence unmanageable as it is, but when you have neighbors who are properly messing with your property, even going as far as to steal from you… that is crossing some serious lines. You'd hope that it would never come to this, as when things get this bad this close to home, there's no way no one is walking away without any proverbial bruises. And unless the offenses are drastic, any first-time offenses are unlikely to rid you of these neighbors for good.

This dude's car was broken into by his neighbor, who stole his stereo, amplifier, CDs, and other items. The dude had a look through his neighbor's open bedroom window, finding his stolen items sitting there. He wasn't going to let this stand and hopped through the window and wrote his name on each of them... plus some extra goodies that hadn't even originally been his. He then called the police, who retrieved the stolen items plus all of the neighbor's own items, which the dude had just marked with his name. Given the circumstances they faced, the neighbor had no choice but to be cooperative…
