The logic behind the ‘Golden Rule’ is simple, do not do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.
When someone has unlawfully wronged you, this is probably the best way to let them know that what goes around comes around.
Fly-tippers!
For the past years, Stuart Baldwin, a farmer from Wigan, England, had been grappling with a recurring issue of illegal dumping, often referred to as fly-tipping. He claimed that his land in Haydock, Liverpool, had fallen victim to this menace on 25 occasions over the past year.
Sick of his property being a wasteland, Baldwin took measures to find out who the responsible individuals were. And there’s no better way to catch them than to install a security camera on his property.
One of the most devastating instances of rubbish being dumped on his property occurred overnight, and you wouldn’t believe what Baldwin found sitting on his land.
He found 421 tires!
There’s probably no one in the right state of mind who would dump that amount of trash on somebody else’s property, wouldn’t you agree? Not unless they absolutely do not care about people and their rights.
In a video, Baldwin recorded himself while showing the mountain of tires on his land.
“We have come to my land at Haydock and somebody has put these tires here overnight,” the troubled farmer said. “Luckily, we found out who has forgotten them, so we are going to take them back to the person who put them here, thank you.”
They managed to track the person who allegedly did it and contacted him about the illegal dumping issue.
“‘It came to last night and he still hadn’t collected his tires. So we decided to deliver them back to him,” said Baldwin.
His daughter, Megan added, “It came to last night and he still hadn’t collected his tyres. So we decided to deliver them back to him.”
It’s payback time!
The Baldwins’s family business SED Services Ltd, is a recycling company that turns green waste into usable materials like compost. Together with a group of eight men, he took one of the trucks from their family’s recycling business to give the man his tires back.
Baldwin shared another clip of them dumping the tires back to the alleged fly-tipper’s front door.
“Revenge is best served cold, isn’t it? I got sick of it so I thought I would do a bit back,” he told MailOnline.
Baldwin expressed his frustration about the issue and said that a lot of people had reacted strongly after they did something. He thought that dumping trash illegally was a terrible problem not only for him but many other property owners.
Just be a law-abiding citizen.
He wondered why a farmer who works hard should have to deal with it. He felt like all the work they did on the land was being ruined by thoughtless people who dumped their garbage on it.
He wanted to make it clear that they didn’t want to harm anyone or damage anything. That’s why they put the items in the farmer’s garden without causing any harm. Their main goal was to show that you can’t just dump trash anywhere you want; it’s not fair, and it’s not right.
Hopefully, the man who did it already learned his lesson. After all, putting trash in proper disposal sites isn’t hard at all, it’s free and it’s a must.
