Sometimes, for those conveniently oblivious to the rules surrounding personal belongings of others, there needs to be a lesson given on a bigger scale to make them recognize the matter in question at all.
Such was the idea behind this Redditor’s revenge against his younger brother’s habit of pinching things from his room.

The 18-year-old went to his brother’s room, took all of his clothes and hid them
This man’s story took place when he was an 18-year-old college freshman and his then-12-year-old brother kept pinching things from his room. The original poster kept reminding his brother to simply ask and he would probably be okay with lending things to him.
However, not only did the younger brother continue taking things without permission, but he was also notorious for not returning and tearing them up. Either way, after several warnings, when the older brother was home for Christmas, he decided to strike back.
While the young swiper was still at school, his older brother went to his room, took all of his clothes, and hid them. So once the boy was home, he came to the living room wearing a towel after taking a shower, freaking out over not finding any of his clothes.
The parents were in stitches, while the OP simply reminded his brother he had been warned. The man eventually reunited little broseph with his under and overgarments and felt proud of his role as an educator, as his brother started asking for permission going forward.

Coming back to the original story, the man’s post gathered 4.9k upvotes on the Reddit Pettyrevenge community online while the incident had a positive impact on the younger brother’s behavior and their relationship, thanks to the older brother’s creativity as well as the parents’ sense of humor and not rallying with the boy’s case.
Redditors applauded the lesson and suggested OP should have taken the brother’s towel as well
