A MAN was left fuming after his neighbour kept tipping leaves over his fence, so he took matters into his own hands.
Josh, from Minnesota, knew that his neighbour was dumping leaves into his back garden. So he set up a camera to catch him redhanded.

Proof of the ordeal was soon posted on TikTok, alongside the caption “How my neighbor disposes of his leaves! #badneighbor”.
The video quickly amassed 64,000 views, and over a hundred comments.
Not all of them were on Josh’s side.
A handful of users questioned whether they were Josh’s leaves, due to the fact he had far more trees than his petty neighbour.
Others simply said that they stood with the neighbour.
While one user even went as far as to say: “look at this joker that’s recording yard. Dude is obviously lazy because look at the most recent video. Dude is f***ed”.
But some users did offer their sympathies.
One user said that they would call the cops, which Josh replied to saying that he already had – and that he had been told that it was a “civil matter”.
Another said: “if he went through the trouble of canning them then lifting over to dump over the fence; why not just bag them and throw them away. My goodness.”
And one of Josh’s friends suggested: “We can rally up the troops and all come over with backpack blowers and blow every leaf back into his yard”.
Which is exactly what they did.
In “Part 2 Dont be a Larry!”, also posted to TikTok, Josh revealed exactly how he dealt with his leaf feud.
The video, which now has 2.6 million views on Instagram, starts with the initial clip of his neighbour dumping the leaves, before showing images of three backpack blowers and a stand-alone leaf blower.
Josh and two of his mates then film themselves blowing the masses of leaves in his garden back over the fence.
It takes a matter of minutes, and the trio appear to be reveling in the process.
Josh ends the video with a pic from snapchat, reading “Yards done #blessed ”
The thousands of comments on this video were far less supportive though.
One user wrote: “I mean, the person has zero trees in their yard. You should have to pay to have their yard cleaned.”
Another pointed out: “Wait they are just giving you, your leaves back and you did this ”
Loads sided with Josh’s neighbour, although a few did say that they loved the pettiness.
Neighbour rows have been intensifying as of late.
Last month, an American woman caught her neighbour stealing her parcels on a doorbell camera.
She approached her and confronted her on the spot, stating that she saw her “on camera the other day taking a package from her door.”
Meanwhile, a woman from the Netherlands was left baffled when her neighbour stole her fence.
She took to Reddit to share a photo of her fence-less garden, and wrote: “I was gone for less than a day and the neighbours took down the shared fence.
