A JILTED farmer stuffed apples into the exhaust of her Tinder lover’s car.
Melanie Meigh, 20, turned up at Jack McMahon’s home after he ended their on-off fling.
She spray-painted an obscenity on the wall, let down his tyres, sprayed his exhaust and filled it with apples she had grabbed from a tree.
Meigh also stole cash, Mr McMahon’s passport and a set of spanners.
She went on to make taunting phone calls.
Meigh bragged: “Hope you like apples'', “Cheers for the spanners”, and “I have your passport.”
She also damaged his bike and sprayed another obscenity on his mother’s gate.
The couple met on Tinder and were together for three weeks in Tarporley, Cheshire.
Meigh admitted eight charges including harassment.
The court heard she is currently expecting a child by a different man.

Nastasha McAdam, prosecuting, said: “The complainant and the defendant had known each other for approximately three weeks after meeting on Tinder.
“They were not in a real relationship though they were intimate on several occasions.
“The defendant was there with a friend and was abusive and threatening.”
Meigh was given a community order, a £120 fine and told to pay £100 compensation.
She had offences of common assault and battery on her record from February 2021 involving her adopted mother.
Meigh is currently awaiting the results of a DNA test to confirm whether another ex-boyfriend is the father of her unborn child.
Warrington magistrates also imposed a restraining order.
