My Neighbor Charged Her Electric Car From My House Every Night Without My Permission – I Didn’t Call the Authorities, but I Did Something Better to Teach Her a Lesson

I thought Monica’s humiliation ended there, dripping pink in my driveway. As it turned out, the paint was the least of her problems.

“I thought you deserved to hear this from me,” he said. “I saw the video.”

I raised my eyebrows.

“Her lease is up next month,” he continued. “I won’t be renewing it.”

I blinked. “Because of the video?”

“No. I decided to take a closer look at everything.”
