Man gets snowy revenge on shovel thief

David Welles got sweet, snowy revenge on a snow-shovel thief. As owner of Tunnel Vision Technology, a supplier of custom audio and video equipment, it's Welles' business to watch what goes on around him. Cameras are all over his house, inside and out, he said.

So when his shovel went missing after last week's blizzard, he logged on to find out who the culprit was. One of his cameras caught a neighbour walking up to his porch and taking his shovel to clear her car. It wouldn't be so bad if she had returned it, Welles said. He would have gladly let her use it.

But he said his 2-year-old daughter Mayson was waiting for him to finish building her igloo. Welles fired up his new snowblower and walked back and forth, burying the woman's car in snow.

"I got a little, I guess, passive-aggressive," Welles said. "I got a new snowblower, so I was kind of excited to bury her car." It took the woman four hours to brush the snow off her car on Friday morning. "It felt good, I'm not going to lie to you," Welles said.

Why didn't she use her new snow shovel?

@ insolitus : in those very fast scrolling texts, it says she must have thrown it away

Kolymatram, I find your attempt at sarcasm amusing.

In any case, that really doesn't answer anything. Why would she throw it away? There are a number of other, equally plausible explanations for the lack of the shovel apart from her just throwing it away. What about if it was stolen from her? What about if she forgot she had stolen it or where she had put it? What about if it was broken?

What happened to the shovel is a better question than why did she throw away the shovel.

In that case I apologise. I thought your talk about very fast scrolling texts could not be anything else.
