someone has parked on my drive!

[steven182]

Doesn't bother me too much but just came back from work and nearly parked my car in the side of a navy focus zetec that has kindly taken residence in my spot. so I have parked on the pavement.

don't recognise the car so don't think it's a neighbour, but who the bloody hell is it!

who does this kind of thing anyway, I wouldn't ever think about parking on someone elses drive without permission.

Shall I clamp them and charge £150 removal fee?

[Clammy]

Park behind them and charge a fee for storage.

Park in front of it, and when they complain say you will let them out when you are ready. They clearly value convenience, so make them pay in terms that matter to them.

[Maxf]

If it's blocking access you can have it towed away IIRC.

What? On your actual drive that is on your property? Cheeky B*stard! Block 'em in.

seems a reasonable plan.

technicaly is this tresspassing as the driveway is my property? does this mean I now own that car?

is there a lost and found law, whereas someone has lost there focus on my driveway and I find it so I keep it?

that would be cool its nicer than my stty pug.

Rather takes the p*ss though...

The business I work for is next door to a cafe and we regularly have to turf off people who park on our forecourt.
They often have the cheek to protest "I'm only going to be half an hour, just having some breakfast!"
Tossers.

yep on my actual driveway blocking access to my garage.

Call the local police, they will contact the owners.

We often have people blocking our drive and sometimes parking on it.

The phonecall always does the trick.

A woman who comes round to visit my elderly neighbour used to think it was OK to park her car in the middle of my front lawn.

Not anymore.

I'd check what the wife is up to if I were you...after you've canvassed opinion on PH as to what to do about the parking situation ...

;)

Very cheeky, park in front of it and block it in so you can find out who it is.

[randomman]

Assuming its private property I'd smash it with a baseball bat, they wont do it again in a hurry

On a more legal note, park behind it

[steven182]

tempted to park them in and go out on the bike for the evening

that'll learn 'em!

[schuey]

Get out on the bike!!!!! People block the end of my drive all the time,pi$$es me off no end.

My first thought also..

And never mind accessing the garage, perhaps you should make sure that no one is hiding out in the wardrobe..

Bang out of order, if your cars up to it, i would drag it out of the way, preferably leaving it in the road, if its not, you should be able to deadlift the arse around and trap it with a friend depending on the swtup of your drive etc, block it in with your car too.


If you dont fancy either of those, ring the cops, i personally wouldnt bother trying to find the owner.

[steven182]

the reg is,

CA57 ZFZ

Is there a way of finding out where or who it belongs to or do I need to be a police dude for that?

CA57 ZFZ I FOUND YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!

It could be someone like a Doctor on call who couldn't find a regular space.

Wouldn't they at least leave a note in the windscreen?
