This farmer was done trying to be the nice guy. After tirelessly asking people to stop parking on his land that'd he worked day in and day out to care for, he decided to really take matters into his own hands. The revenge he got was well deserved...
Davao Bedekovic's Farm
Davao Bedekovic ran an enormous farm all on his own. He depended on the mineral-rich land for his livelihood and worked day and night to keep his farm thriving. However, he ran into a business-threatening problem once a week...
Keeping a Low Profile
Bedekovic lived a humble life, just wanting to work on his land and keep the peace with his neighbors. He was a friendly face in town, and people appreciated his hard work. One day, a viral video of him confronting the people who parked on his land changed his life for the better...
A Busy Town
Bedekovic's village of Jakuševac had merged with the town of Zagreb in Croatia. That meant lots of Zagreb residents would have to do their shopping at the market near Bedekovic's farm. The town wasn't exactly doing a great job managing the crowds...
A Difficult Adjustment
Because the community was overpopulated, the once-small town of Jakuševac was now way too crowded. Stores and markets were consistently packed, with everyone hoping to score a good deal on produce. People like Bedekovic weren't thrilled with the situation...
Inopportune Real Estate
Unfortunately, Bedekovic's farm was across the street from one of the town's most popular flea markets. His usually peaceful mornings were now constantly interrupted by the noise of shoppers. Most of them took to parking on his land when the market's lot was full...
The Town of Zagreb
Before Bedekovic owned his farm near the city of Zagreb, and before Zagreb even existed, the land was controlled by many different civilizations dating back to the Ancient Romans. Zagreb is made up of several different settlements and is the largest Croatian city...
The Collapse of the Soviet Union
When Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union fell, Croatia declared its independence in 1991. Then, Bedekovic's village became integrated into Zagreb. However, not everyone was pleased with this...
Understanding At First
It was clear to the shoppers at the flea market that Bedekovic's land was so large that parking on it for just a few hours wouldn't cause much harm. Some people didn't even realize the land was owned by anyone at all. They thought if others were doing it, then it must be fine...
It Began To Wear On Him
Despite being understanding of the parking lot inconvenience at first, Bedekovic began to grow annoyed at the constant swell of cars on his land. He didn't think this would happen every single week, but it always did. Most people only assume cars are dangerous when they're moving, but that wasn't the case here...
He Was Worried About Leaks
Bedekovic was extremely concerned about what the cars would do to his soil if they were left unattended for so long. Cars leak oil and other chemicals that are harmful to his land. If this happened, his livelihood would be ruined...
A Threat To His Entire Farm
Bedekovic's life depends on the soil because his crops it produces could be toxic or die if the soil is contaminated. He already had enough things on his plate while he was running the farm alone, and this wasn't something he had the time for. His farm is also located in a neighborhood near Zagreb's largest landfill to make matters worse...
The EPA's Effort
There have been many strides taken to contain the damage the landfill might cause to Bedekovic's farm. However, the EPA still says that eventually, his soil will be compromised due to proximity alone. He didn't need cars leaking chemicals directly onto his soil as well...
But That Wasn't His Only Problem
Even with all of those outside factors, the greatest threat to Bedekovic's land was leachate, a liquid that forms when rainwater runs through waste from landfills. The water is then filled with toxins that seep into the soil, permanently ruining the crops. For farmers, this is poison...
He Had Already Been Worried
Bedekovic was already worried about the problems the landfill might cause, and the cars were just adding another stressor. If the oil seeped into the ground, he'd be done for. He had to do something about this...
Asking Politely
Bedekovic tried nicely telling people about the problem and hoped that they would understand that they couldn't park on his land. This seemed to have the opposite effect. More and more people started parking on his property, further damaging his soil...
Enough Was Enough
A video of the situation showed that cars parked in two long rows on Bedekovi's property every single Sunday. After some time thinking of the perfect way to get his revenge, he finally came up with something. The entire thing was caught on film...
Not Your Typical Revenge Plot
Bedekovic's revenge wasn't malicious in any way. He could have slashed tires or called the police to have the cars towed. Instead, he did something a little more appropriate...
Gearing Up To Plow
He knew he needed to take action since nobody would listen. So, he got onto his tractor and drove into the field where the cars were parked. He had plans to plow the fields, but it wasn't so he could plant new crops...
Plowing Around The Cars
As people watched Bedekovic drive around on his tractor, they were confused by what he was doing. He plowed lines in front of all the cars on his property. While they thought he was crazy for working on a Sunday morning, they didn't realize what he was actually doing...
Revenge Is Sweet
After a while, people stopped watching and Bedekovic continued to plow. He was pleased with himself even though others had no idea what he was doing. By the time he was done, the soil was completely turned...
Trapped In The Field
It turned out that Bedekovic had purposely plowed the field so well that the cars were stuck between the rows of turned soil. The ground was no longer drivable. Bedekovic stood there smiling as people realized what had happened...
Let The Complaining Begin
Because the market's customers were used to parking on Bedekovic's land for weeks, they never thought they wouldn't be able to get out of their parking spot. Maybe they should have listened to him. Of course, this led to a string of complaints...
A Police Intervention
The police were called to settle the situation, but when they arrived, they were just as confused as everyone else had been. They approached Bedekovic with questions. He could have been charged because he technically obstructed traffic, but this wasn't a typical situation...
Rules are Rules
Because the land was legally Bedekovic's property, it was decided that the market's customers would have to find a new place to park. The town's economy needed a boost following the merger, so they would work out a solution. However, the police still had to talk with Bedekovic about his revenge...
He Hadn't Done Anything Wrong
It was also decided that Bedekovic was in the right. Despite slightly inconveniencing the other drivers, he was within his rights to act the way he did. He'd known all along that he wasn't doing anything illegal...
The Drivers Were In The Wrong
The drivers had all parked on his land without permission, even though he had asked them several times not to. The land was Bedekovic's and he could plow it however he wanted to. He also had the right to protect his property, especially since his land was his livelihood...
His Revenge Worked
Bedekovic watched as one woman in a silver Peugeot struggled to drive her car back on to the main road. She tried going every which way, but her car wouldn't move. It seemed he'd done too good of a job...
A Long Struggle
Though it had looked like she would have been able to get out of the field without much work, her car only got more stuck each time she tried to move. At one point, a police officer had to get behind the wheel. Her car was well in Bedekovic's trap...
Time To Step In
Bedekovic had certainly made his point, and no one would be parking on his land again. The woman's car was so stuck that the police couldn't even get it out. Bedekovic decided it was time to be the bigger person...
Helping Her Out of a Jam
Bedekovic hopped back on his tractor and flattened out the soil around the woman's car. She'd certainly learned her lesson and drove off down the main road. Nobody would be parking on his farm without permission ever again.
