54-year-old Russell Wolf is driving to brunch.
And at first, he doesn't think anything
of the guy in the white shirt walking his dog.
But then he's shocked by what he witnesses.
[dramatic music playing]
A neighbor he's never seen before
vandalizes a local fruit stand,
so he goes after the aggressor to investigate.
[Russell] What do you want?
[Russell] Did you call the police?
[Russell] What's your name?
[narrator]
when Russell is buying fruit from the stand
with another local named Leslie,
the irate neighbor returns,
so Russell starts recording again.
[Leslie speaking]
[neighbor speaking]
[Leslie speaking]
So if my kid...
[narrator]
for the last six months,
and he's not sure whether the owner
has a legal street vending permit,
but he is concerned by the aggressive attitude
of his neighbor.
[Leslie speaking]
[Leslie] No!
[narrator]
[Leslie and neighbor continue arguing]
[bleep] you!
[narrator]
[Leslie] Did you really say that?
[Leslie] You are...
You're a fool!
[narrator]
the neighbor in purple decides to retreat,
but not before he threatens to call the police.
[Russell] So call the police!
[Leslie speaking]
[narrator]
not only who he is,
but where he lives.
[chanting]
[narrator]
Russell, Leslie, and dozens of other neighbors
surprise him with a protest rally
outside his house.
-You're acting like a child! -[cheering]
[narrator]
Spraying people with a hose
is considered to be a criminal offense.
So the police arrive,
and he's arrested and charged with battery.
Despite all the local support, the fruit seller, Tomás,
decides to move to another neighborhood
where he's selling his goods hassle-free.
[men grunting]
[narrator]
and their young children in Houston, Texas,
witnesses something on her doorbell camera,
it changes her life forever.
My husband and I were the typical
suburban happy couple, married, had kids,
until the last year
when we were going through couples therapy,
just working through marital issues that we had
that seemed to affect a lot of other married couples.
Nothing, like, deal-breaking.
But I do get these gut feelings
he was doing something shady that I didn't know about.
[narrator]
her husband suggests that she take their daughter
on a planned family vacation,
and he stay home with their son.
[Kaylie]
the doorbell camera app goes off.
And, you know, when you first get the notification,
it's just a picture, and so all I saw was two bodies.
So I called him and I said, "Hey,
there's two creeps on the front porch.
You might wanna go check that out."
And I start to watch the video,
and I see my husband and his coworker
on the front porch.
My stomach dropped, my heart sank.
I didn't really know what to think
besides, "What the heck is going on in my house?"
And I realized that it was him and his mistress
on our front porch, and they were kissing,
he grabbed her butt and then said...
[husband speaking]
[coworker speaking]
[husband speaking]
And I'm just really angry and really sad.
I was disgusted
and I feel like I don't know the person that I even married.
So I immediately called him back
and I... I said, "It's you and your coworker
on the doorbell camera."
He denied it for a good five to ten minutes
till he finally confessed that she was over.
[narrator]
when Kaylie looks back at the door cam footage,
she sees that her husband
tries to cover up his lover's arrival.
He won't admit that he deleted the clip,
but he had to have, because it picked up movement
coming towards our front door,
then all of a sudden the door opens and closes,
but you don't see anybody come in or out,
so I think that's the section that he deleted.
[narrator]
he gets sappy and sloppy when his girlfriend leaves.
And now Kaylie is divorcing her 39-year-old husband.
[Kaylie]
Like, I have time to find somebody else
[chuckles] who deserves me.
But I feel like I got the best revenge,
because when I uploaded the footage online,
I was expecting to get, maybe, like, five views,
and I have amassed over 7 million views on it.
So, I kinda feel like karma
worked pretty instantly this time.
[laughs]
[men grunting]
[man] Smashing my windshield...
[woman grunts angrily]
[man] My neighbors have it all on camera.
Walking right now. She has on socks.
[woman] No [bleep] white devil!
[narrator]
she originally attacked the neighbor with,
before he started recording.
[woman] Hail to the [bleep]!
[narrator]
the scorned lover disappears into the streets of Philly,
shoeless and with a knife in her bra.
While her ex-boyfriend and his neighbor
are left to clean up the mess
and figure out what just happened.
[man 2] I was just on the bus with her!
[men grunting]
[man] This is my dock here.
The neighbors started feeding the birds.
Dumping a bunch of birdseed in front of my dock.
[narrator]
his access to it,
is the basis of an ongoing boundary dispute.
The only way Justin can get to his dock
is by walking through his neighbor's property.
[Justin] I guess he thinks he's, uh, being clever
trying to get all the geese to poop on my dock.
Get off my yard!
-[Justin] Got legal right. -No, you don't.
Get off my yard. You got the legal right to get out.
[Justin] I got the legal right to be here.
[narrator]
of all fights between neighbors.
But this issue is escalating way beyond that.
Get off my yard.
-No... -Maggie, call the police!
Call them. I have a legal right to be here.
-Call the police. -Okay.
Call the cops!
Call the cops! I want the cops.
[Justin] I don't like the birds being fed there
to try to piss me off and make me mad.
-[man] 911. -[Justin] I have a legal right.
[man] No, you don't.
-No, you don't. -Yeah, I do.
No, you don't.
[narrator]
which is the right to access someone else's property.
In order to get to his dock,
Justin has to cross through his neighbor's yard,
which his neighbor clearly isn't allowing Justin to do.
Get my phone! Right now! Get my phone!
You're going to jail.
Never come across my property again, I'll kill you.
[narrator]
can be punishable with prison time.
[Justin] Doesn't have to be like this.
[narrator]
beyond simply verbal threats.
[man speaking indistinctly]
[Justin] Please stop touching my golf cart.
Please stop pushing my golf cart.
[man] Get off my property.
-I have the legal right. -No, you don't.
He just hit me with the golf cart!
[Justin] Please let me leave. Please let me leave.
Please let me leave.
[narrator]
to call the police and report an assault.
-[Justin] Let me leave. -Get off my yard.
Stay off.
Don't ever bring that thing on my yard again.
Don't ever bring it on my yard again.
[narrator]
As of this taping, charges have yet to be filed.
How do you like that?
[narrator]
[Justin] It's assault, I'm pressing charges.
-You're on video. -You're going to jail.
[men grunting]
[narrator]
don't tell that to organic gardener, Jeff Permar,
of Middletown, Delaware.
He not only has a problem with his fence,
but he also has one with his other neighbors.
In his spare time,
Jeff's an avid gardener who grows his own produce.
But discovers that someone in his neighborhood
is sneaking into his fenced-in garden
and destroying his crops.
I was noticing that, um, vegetables were being eaten
and just dropped onto the ground,
um, just, like, chunks out of the vegetables.
I was really upset.
[narrator]
it's neither pest nor birds,
and certainly not a neighborhood dog.
[Jeff]
"Well, why don't I set up a motion-detection camera
to see, you know, what it could be."
So I did that, and while I was at work,
I had gotten a ping on the phone.
And I was anxious, I went over to go look at it...
And pops up this groundhog outta nowhere.
And I'm like, "What? A groundhog?"
[narrator]
and draws up a battle plan
to stop the groundhog's ground war.
He ensures there are no openings in his fence
and closes up any holes, no matter how small.
I was putting all obstacles in place, you know,
so they couldn't get into the garden.
None of that stuff worked.
So that kinda upset me a lot,
and I was like, "All right, maybe I could trap him."
So I would set up, like, a trap out there
and nothing would work.
[narrator]
Jeff develops an admiration for his enemy's bravery
and fearless persistence.
[Jeff]
He's so cool, popping up in the camera,
eating right in your face. He's got so much swagger to him.
He's just looking in the camera, like,
"I'm eating your vegetables. What are you gonna do?"
I was getting notifications at work.
I was showing people, sharing it on Facebook,
Instagram, everybody was loving it.
They were like, "This guy is so cool.
You gotta, you know, take care of him."
And so I was like, "You know what? I do."
[narrator]
Giving his always-hungry neighbor
a proper name.
He was taking chunks out of the vegetables,
and just moving on to the next one and taking another chunk,
so I said, "You know what? Your name's gonna be Chunk."
[narrator]
with the addition of Nibbles, his girlfriend.
Chunk loved Chunk Land so much
that he brought his girlfriend, Nibbles, over.
As time went on, garden wasn't even mine anymore.
I just, kinda just gave it to The Chunks. [chuckles]
[narrator]
Jeff lets the Chunks continue to eat from his garden.
The following year, I made them their own little garden,
where they could come have at it, you know,
feed yourself as much as you want.
And it's a good thing I did. [chuckles]
[narrator]
The Chunks start a family.
And thanks to Jeff,
they don't have to worry about feeding the kids.
I was also even giving them stuff from mine still.
[laughs]
[narrator]
If only all neighbors could be so friendly.
