More than just water, Margaret’s pond served as the backdrop for innumerable memories, her grandchildren’s playground, and her grandfather’s legacy. She so did more than simply lament when her neighbor Brian damaged it while she was abroad. She retaliated.
She first used hidden camera footage to show his guilt. He was then fined $50,000 when she ingeniously reported him for “harming a protected habitat.” Brian’s own wife turned against him, evicting him and rebuilding the pond herself after her lawyer grandson added a lawsuit.
The frogs are croaking at night, the water is shimmering once more, and Brian? He’s living proof that crossing a clever grandma is a very expensive mistake.
