I live in a block of flats, about 15 or so in the block.
Each flat has its own designated space and in addition theere are 2 'visitors' spaces.
Typically these are used by residents on a first come first served basis for their second car.
For the last 6 (ish) weeks a manky black Fiesta has been parked in the same place and never moved.
I know that this car belongs to a group of people living in a shared house across the other side of the street. They have obviously decided to park it on private property, in the hope nobody can trace who actually owns it.
So my question is what do we do?
Might sound daft but the house is lived in by a group of younger, erm.......not overly nice approachable looking types. They have a staffordshire and tattoos! I'm laughing reading my description of them. Sorry.
I don't particularly want to approach them as I can already imagine how it will go.
What do we reckon?

You could blow it up.
Extreme, but effective.

The Police council seems appropriate but......
My question really is whether anybody knows what the situation is with this being private property?
Will anybody be interested or am I setting fire to it?

As its on private property, Police will tell you its a civil matter (unless its leaking petrol or something). If you know who's it is, ask them to move it. If they will not move it, speak to the land owner, or whoever looks after the car park.
What you absolutely must not do as it would be very naughty to do so is acquire some extra hands to move the car onto the public highway, and call it in as abandoned, and definitely do not plonk it on some nearby double yellows.

If it isn't parked in your designated bay i'd leave it well alone, get on with your life and stop worrying too much.
If it is in your bay, i'd borrow a bigger dog than a Staffordshire, hire some of those full sleeve tattoo thingies from a fancy dress shop, go round to their house and batter them into submission.

Sneak an official looking local authority letter through the letterbox (early morning if you're worried about getting caught, sounds like they won't be up in time for work) saying their car is parked illigally and will be towed then impounded at the cost of X per day with an initial fine of X. Will probably have more effect than the council. Pretty unlikely they'll know the law so to them it could be plausible.
Failing that just trash it and hope they decide to get rid.

I'd instigate a small fuel leak and phone the fire brigade on a non-emergency number.

I'd have thoght a letter (annon. I guess) through the letterbox of the owners informing them the car will be reported as abandoned and removed if it not moved. Doubt they'll be any the wiser.
