Junkie sleeping under girlfriends car
Discussion
Over the last few weeks a junkie has been sleeping under my girlfriends Audi Q3. She has just moved to a new flat which came with a parking space. We have spoken to a few neighbours who confirm that he is well known for sleeping under cars.
Unfortunately my girlfriend never noticed him one morning and ended up running him over. She told me that she reversed the car and as she pulled away the car was a little hesitant. She applied more gas and could feel a bump as she drove away. When she looked in her rear view mirror she seen him lying there. An ambulance and the police were called. The guy wasn't too badly injured and appeared back a week later.
A few days later she checked under her car for him and he wasn't there. She was texting so sat for a few minutes. During they few minutes he went back under the car and she didn't notice. She would have ended up doing it again if he hadn't shouted.
The guy seems to think it's somewhere to live because he has a sleeping bag under it and also food and beer tins. My girlfriend told me that she always checks that he is not there and then just runs over his tins and sleeping bag.
She is quite upset by it all and it seems to really get to her. She said she cannot believe she ran him over and that she thinks about it often.
How would you deal with this ? The man is obviously on a different planet.

Thanks guys. I've not spoken with him yet but I want this sorted for my girlfriend. She is such a lovely person and feels so guilty. She's scared that one day she ends up killing him with her car.
She bought the car because she feels high up and likes that. I already suggested lowering it but she wouldn't have it. The police said they cannot do anything either.

What a silly sod! why on earth would you get under a car that has someone who's about to drive off in it?! A lower car would work, perhaps blowing the horn to scare him might work? Failing that, do you think if you told him to stop it and that she wont be checking for him in future he would understand?
Is it possible to call a homeless persons charity and have them come and put him in a shelter?

At least if she did run him over , he wouldn't be back.She bought the car because she feels high up and likes that. I already suggested lowering it but she wouldn't have it. The police said they cannot do anything either.
