Video: Blizzaster Street Justice

This video has been making the rounds the past few days. David Welles has a nice setup of security cameras around his home. Last Wednesday, those cameras caught a woman stealing his snow shovel to shovel out her car. The Next day, Welles proved the maxim "Payback is a bitch" (or "This guy's a dick," if you prefer) by using his snowblower to cover the shovel thief's car in snow.

We're kind of conflicted about Welles' reaction. We can understand where he's coming from and have often fantasized about doing the same (if we had a snowblower). All the same, it's just a shovel. The thief apparently got the message; the shovel was returned to Welles.
