Neighbours driven mad by a boyracer devised the perfect revenge - they hoisted it to the top of a huge willow tree.
The roadhog - who doesn't even have a driving licence - had driven villagers mad for months on end driving his souped-up white Ford Escort.
But when the 24-year-old went to take it for another spine-tingling spin one morning, he found it parked in its very unusual space.
And the prank by residents of Lubczyna in Poland has worked wonders on Zbigniew Filo - he has promised to tone down his wild driving style.
A police spokesman said: "We received a call from a man saying his car was stuck in a tree, and that his neighbours had put it there.
"After inspecting the site we instructed him to remove it from the tree," she added.
Locals have refused to say who carried out the prank, but have revealed that one villager's mobile crane was borrowed for the night.
A neighbour said: "Whoever, or whatever it was, it’s probably a good thing as he was a dangerous driver and could have killed someone.
"Perhaps he’ll think twice about his hair-raising driving and about getting a licence or who knows where his next car might end up?"
Shamefaced Filo said: "I get the message, but I think it was a bit harsh."
