Remove numberplate & report a stolen / dumped van to the police/Council.
I wouldn't even remove the plate, just add black electrical insulating tape to the rear plate as a strikethrough. If you're simply going to take off the plates then take them with you to the local speed camera, stick them on your car and ping the camera. Then replace the plates.

Don't bother with milk, that's for amateurs. Go to Tesco or any Asian store and get some "nam pla" or Fish sauce, it's only about a quid a bottle.
Remove the green cap which ensures not too much comes out at once, and tip the whole lot down the heater vents. In this weather , left overnight, I guarantee within a day the vehicle will be undriveable even with the windows open, you might even get some vomitus thrown in for free when he opens the door. A new interior plus some serious cleaning is the only option, it just won't go away.
The stuff is evil, in fact it's a very close second to using cats piss. 6 years ago we broke a bottle in our kitchen, some of it went onto the concrete under the kick boards, despite my best efforts, if you get close you can still smell it today.
Here's a pic, with a friendly looking squid on the front
We used to put fish sauce on the floorboards when moving rooms at school. The new occupants of your old room would turn up at breakfast about a week later unable to eat.

What did you tow it with?
My car and a steel wire tow rope. Attached it to my front wishbone and the other end to his spare tyre. Put my trolley jack under his rear axle. Reversed.Swole said:
Unless I've missed it, did the guy the OP dealt with realise that his van had moved from where he'd left it? Did he have anything to say about it? Did he say he was going to continue to block your drive?
He must have realised. Didn't say anything though. Just went off on one like a child. In fact, his kid was with him when I tried to talk to him, can't have been any older than 12 or so. What a wonderful example of a human being. I was just amazed at how retarded he acted. I was quite civil with him, and if I was in his position I would have just said sorry and avoided a confrontation. But he acted liked I was in the wrong. I find it quite funny. If I see him again i'll just start winding him up. He doesn't realise it, but he's mouthed off to the wrong person lol. I take revenge quite seriously.Welshbeef said:
Recently we were having / are having lots of building work going on so need loads of access on the road for deliveries. As such we don't currently have a drive but aim to park directly in front of he house so if an early delivery or skip removal or scaffolding truck arrives we can move ours with ease.
However a couple of occasions visitors (as in over night visitors) to some house on the street have parked there before us.... as it has turned out and purely by chance each and every time there has been a super early delivery or skip removal or dumper truck drop off.(this is Sat deliveries) so they had to knock on the houses which naturally they moved but were in PJs.
Friday evening guests... I wonder how many otherwise innocent potential drink drivers you are forcing into there cars!

Leave an anonymous letter on his windscreen pointing out your disappointment with his behaviour. That'll teach him.
Or violence. The last resort is always violence. Hammer a sausage up his bum.
Nah, anonymity never works in these situation - I disappoint people all the time and couldn't care less, but if I disappoint someone i know I feel bad.Or violence. The last resort is always violence. Hammer a sausage up his bum.
So make sure you sign the letter of disappointment, and add your full name, address, phone number, NI number and next if kins details. Then they'll know you're serious.

By my sons school there lives a older lady who lives with her child, she has a garage a drive down the side of her bungalow probably for 2-3 cars plus the front has been paved over so maybe 2 more cars can park on it then theres the piece of drive between the grass that divides her house and the road, yet she parks every day on the road most of the time in the middle of two spaces as well. Its really annoying as the area has 3 schools and parking is at a premium. I spoke to a neighbour about he last year, she hates people parking outside her house.

Makes me laugh these bellends, they buy houses next to schools then moan about the traffic at drop off and pick up times and the noise at play times. Another contender for dog s
