'How do you like them apples?': Band gets even with cranky old neighbor, retrieving the apples he stole, and letting them rot

We love petty revenge in all forms, but we mourn the loss of perfectly ripe apples. These band members found themselves in a feud with a cranky old neighbor from a few houses down. At first, it was about the noise level of their jam sessions despite the fact that their house was far enough away and they were practicing during appropriate hours. In short, these were not selfish miscreants; they were at least trying to be respectful to the neighborhood. 

However, once the cranky neighbor escalated matters to the point that he tried to steal from their apple tree, it was time for some petty payback. First, they demanded the apples back before the old guy had his wife bake her pie, and then they taunted him by setting said apples on their windowsill until they rotted. That way, every time he passed by their house, he would see the apples he had to give back in a rotten state. 

Personally, we feel that the band members should have permitted the old guy's wife to bake the apple pie and then just take the pie for their own enjoyment. That was the real move.
