WATCH the satisfying moment a farmer seemingly gets revenge on alleged flytippers as he returns their rubbish.
The farmer is said to have tracked down the alleged fly-tipper after she left boxes on his land.

In a rookie error, the 'flytipper' failed to notice that her address was still left on the boxes.
Taking the opportunity to exact revenge, land manager Graeme Upton went to her postcode, where he then recognised the car.
He filmed himself dumping the rubbish back on her front garden.
According to Graeme, the woman had apparently gone to the effort of driving 25 miles to dump her boxes on Graeme's land - leaving her none-too-pleased to have it returned to her.
Graeme said in a Facebook post, that he had first noticed the woman idling in a car on his property in Redhill, Surrey when he was moving bales of wheat.
When asked what she was doing, he claims she said she was only stopping "for a wee".
It was only after she'd driven off that Graeme noticed the pile of cupboard dumped on the ground at the edge of his field.
Graeme explained the backstory as part of a video showing him returning the boxes to the woman.
In the video, Graeme can be seen knocking on the woman's door and pointing out the familiar car.
A man answers and says he hadn't been driving the car when the rubbish was allegedly dumped.
Graeme then begins to sarcastically explain the situation to the man, beginning "It's a bit bizarre".
He says: "While she was having a wee, all of this stuff clearly fell out of the car and it's got your address on it."
The man then goes back into the house before telling them to "drop it all there", pointing at his driveway.
Graeme and another man then begin dumping loads of boxes from their van onto the drive.
As a woman leaves the house, Graeme says: "I bet you didn't think you'd see me again quite so quick.
"I'm just returning what was dropped off in my gateway."
As Graeme and his friend leave, he adds: "That's all yours.
"A word of advice, make sure you take off your postcode."
He wrote: ' The silly cow had left loads of delivery boxes with a post code on and hadn't made a good job of cutting out the address on some boxes or her name !!!
'So I punched the post code into sat nav and lo and behold it took me to her house.
'So myself and two neighbours then collected their rubbish and returned it. They weren't so happy.'
In the video, the woman who left her cardboard boxes on Graeme's property stood by her husband, both with their arms crossed and shaking their heads as they watched the rubbish be returned to them.

Calling someone a ‘Karen' is ‘borderline racist, sexist and ageist', tribunal says

Calling someone a 'Karen' is 'borderline racist, sexist and ageist', a tribunal judge has said. Employment judge George Alliott said the term, typically targeted at middle-aged white women, was pejorative. The remarks came in the case of Sylvia Constance, 74, who had brought claims of unfair dismissal, direct race and age discrimination and victimisation against Harpenden Mencap, a charity that provides support to adults with learning disabilities. Constance, who the tribunal heard is black British, said she was targeted because of her race, having been dismissed on 13 June 2023 because of an 'irrevocable breakdown in the relationship' with Mencap. Bosses had previously suspended Constance over claims of 'emotional/psychological abuse of a tenant in your care' and 'bullying and intimidation of colleagues', the tribunal heard. Christine Yates, who represented Constance at the tribunal, said in a document: 'The respondents have acted like the stereotypical 'Karen', having weaponised their privilege and more powerful position against the complainant, making up and suspending the complainant for numerous fictitious infringements, and deflecting from their personal misconduct. 'As egregiously, they encouraged residents under their care to do same. There is also something very sordid about the way in which white, female management have facilitated racism by colluding with white, male residents to give a misogynistic, racist view of the black complainant.' But Alliott said: 'We note Christine Yates uses the slang term 'Karen', which is a pejorative and borderline racist, sexist and ageist term.' The judge dismissed Constance's claims, saying that the complaints against her were 'legitimate' and 'did not constitute a targeted racist campaign against her'.
