I daresay the situation was different, but what I was seeking to establish was that the mere fact that someone had taken your car away (for whatever reason) didn't mean that you were going to be permanently deprived of several hundred pounds.
It is fair to say that if you have concrete evidence that your car wasn't causing an obstruction, you might get your money back (as in my case).However, in Lawbags case we know the opposite, the car certainly WAS causing an obstruction.
Proving the owner didn't leave it like that would be nigh-on impossible.
You also realise that merely saying I didn't leave it like that won't work. You would need to prove it on the balance of probabilities. The easy retort to that is someone with the keys moved it, thus as the registered keeper you are responsible if you want the car back.
Justifying this with pub lawyer rubbish is not helping. Leave people's cars alone.

It's a nuisance when people haven't read the thread properly. All the points you mention have already been covered.
Stop talking rubbish! Here is your last quote on this matter:

Not at all, depending on the facts of the case, it would be comparatively easy. He obviously didn't need it, which suggests he was away, or in hospital, or in prison. Wherever he was, it would probably be quite easy for him to demonstrate that he had left it there 6 months ago, and that it had only just started to cause an obstruction.
You have no idea what you are talking about, and are passing it off as justification. You are wrong, both morally and legally. singlecoil said:

Car is noticed by local smack heads after a while and gets vandalised for drug money.
Man complains that nobody cares for his property and that he has the legal right to park there.
This story could easily have gone the above way, but I wonder if people would still be shouting the same line?

What about your morals, or lack thereof. You being the person who witnessed your own recovery driver seriously damaging another car but decided it was perfectly fine and justifiable, in your eyes, to ignore it all because there was a good chance that the owner of the vehicle he damaged was one of the many people that complained about your car, because to them, it looked like it was dumped outside their house / in their road.photosnob said:

Shame you / your recovery man didn't follow that advice when you decided to damage a car that belonged so someone else who lived in the road you left your car. I guess that's payback and they deserved it for complaining about you

im wondering which drugs you are taking? Would you mind sending me a PM with your dealers number? I only ask as your perception of reality is so far removed from most peoples that it could only be explained by the quality of the narcotics that you are embibing on a daily basis.Or are you simply insane?

I should think that anyone who spells imbibe like that is probably not in a position to comment on the drugs other people are taking Or are you simply insane?

So all you antis- you'd happily pay to park your car for 6 months, which is about 500m from your house, in a dingy car park?
I'm sure you'd happily oblige.
So there is NO other parking in 500m from your place ?I'm sure you'd happily oblige.
Surely there are other roads or space on your road, apart from the 2 taken up by the car left there for 6 months ?
I don't see it as totally unreasonable at all, I live on a street where parking is tight, mostly because the residents can't seem to park properly, but when others start parking outside because it is easier for them or they are being lazy it is a pain as other options for parking include.
The car park when a man insists on keying cars if you're in a space he doesn't want you to be in.
Double yellows
A car park with no security cameras and in my eyes, just too far away.
Could be worse, this is how petty the parking is around by me, one man puts cones outside his house to stop others parking in "his" spot. (They may disappear one day)
Another will cover your car in mud if you park outside his house.
The other day I took the van home to move some stuff, came back to it in the morning to find it blocked in, car had reversed into my bumper on the front and a car had parked on my rear step, logic was not working with them though because Iveco van vs a KA and a 307, interestingly the KA had a very efficient hand brake but the clips holding the bumper on were more flimsy than the 307's, I felt that retribution was evenly distributed, two cracked fog lights for a big scuff on the paint work, thankfully though the paint rubbed off the van.
Was tempted to put some troll faces on their cars.
Though once we had a van parked in the pub car park at a jaunty angle, 5 days it was there before it got bumped over at a better angle, then it got a clamp on it.
We were sat there discussing it me and my mate, the end of the night we were all on a case to figure out how to get it moved, 3 weeks went by and me and my mate Jimmy were getting to the point where we were going to simulate a fuel leak, pour some diesel on the floor and call environmental health, or drag it into the road call police, it was ridiculous now as it stopped us parking at the pub.
5 minutes later Jimmys phone rang, it was his brother.
"Can you bring that Doblo that is in the Kings car park up to mine"
"Wait, that's your van?"
"yeah, I left the keys with you 4 weeks ago and asked you to bring it up"

A couple years ago I had a second car that broke down so I parked it on a road with no restrictions. I was busy so decided to leave it for a few days. A couple of days later I started getting calls from the police saying residents had called them saying they were worried ambulances couldn't get down the road.
So I had to move it.
I got a recovery very early in the morning. The recovery driver towed it out and managed to completely batter a nearly brand new golf. The metal in the door was ripped open, and the light was hanging out. I didn't think it was anything to do with me, and he decided he didn't want to leave details. My car was towed to a scrap yard.
So if you want to be a dick you can. But it might come back to bite you.
Who's being the dick, again, remind me?So I had to move it.

Not sure if link will work.
Two possible messages
You have no idea who lives in the house you just parked outside.
Someone parks outside your house, just think of Frozen and start humming.

also,
How many houses on your street?
How many parking spaces in your street?
How many cars/vans do you park on the street?
Be honest...
