Well, not quite revenge, more shadenfraude really....
Where I work there's a cyclepath running through from one deadend road at the top of the reserve, to another at the bottom. This path is prohbited to unauthorised vehicles - authorised ones are our electric van, and the trucks that have to come and access the recycling compound, which is near the bottom end.
For years the bottom entrance had some removable (if you could lift them) concrete bollards, but the top end has none because that end also accesses our little carpark. The concrete bollards however got progressively more and more damaged (by locals probably), and eventually just removed. So a few locals have got used to driving through occasionally anyway, as a short cut. Sometimes we catch them at it and try to turn them back, but there's always the risk they'll drive through you - we had the van rammed when we used it to block the path of one lot of louts who tried to follow us through.
We got new, lockable bollards at the bottom end a couple of weeks back.
So when we were working in the compound and saw a woman drive past towards the bottom end, we knew she'd have to turn round and come back. Of course, no one would be so unkind as to line up and point and laugh as she came back past....
She did look embarrassed.
