He Watched Neighbor Expand Into His Yard For Years But He Finally Got Even

He walked out onto his porch and couldn’t believe his eyes. Even after his warnings, the pavers were still there. He began to feel anger surge inside him, but then he stopped himself. Like a pro chessplayer, he calculated every possible outcome, playing them out in his mind.

Suddenly, his stern mouth relaxed and a slow grin began to spread across his face.

He knew what he was going to do about his audacious neighbor. Satisfied, he sat back and waited. “Karma will take care of it,” he whispered, chuckling to himself. And oh boy, was he right.

New Neighbor

Miles was an unassuming man. He’d worked hard for all he had in his life. He had been a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.

Now, in his golden years, he was content to sit on his porch and look out onto the magnificent nature reserve that bordered his new property, situated in a quiet retirement village in the country.

But whenever he peeked into his neighbor’s yard, he grew increasingly annoyed.

Something Odd

Miles looked from his tiny backyard to his neighbor’s again. His neighbor’s yard extended a good 8 feet beyond his — it was, by far, the largest property on the estate. How was that possible?

At first, he assumed that the man had just been lucky or he had been able to afford a larger piece of land. But it wasn’t long before he knew what his neighbor was really up to.

A Twinge Of Envy

Miles was a friendly man and he quickly befriended all his new neighbors and exchanged phone numbers — including the man with the largest back yard. He felt a mixture of envy and admiration when he saw that the man also owned a cherry red sports car — something he had never been able to afford.

Nevertheless, he was content in his little slice of paradise. Until one fateful day.

Strange Behavior

On the day in question, Miles happened to look over and spotted his neighbor doing something strange. The man deliberately paced back and forth, walking the length of his property with a dissatisfied look on his face.

He disappeared for a few minutes, and then returned with a wheelbarrow full of expensive pavers. He began to lay them one by one, but then he did something that had Miles doing a double-take.
