Some of these comments are ridiculous though. How do you expect me to move a van so far? I can't exactly steer it if I decide to tow it. Even the wheel skates would take 2 or 3 people.
It's a Transit isn't it? Scrotes have been stealing them with flat headed screw drivers for the last 3 decades, not difficult to get into one and just drive it off!

Nope, takes too long and the oil pressure warning light will stay/come on and too obvious when and where it happened. Just loosen the sump plug, will slowly come out. The only issue is it will leave a slick along the road when it happens.In my experience the "Authorities" couldn't care less!
My mother had the misfortune to live in a side road around the corner from a primary school in the London Borough of Sutton, and the spray-tanned mummies regularly parked across her drive.
When challenged they always had the "well it will only be a few minutes" excuse - we tried calling the police (who to be fair have more important issues to deal with) and said call the local authority - but being a Lib-Dem Greeny dominated waste of space they couldn't care less and said call the police............! (Maybe I should have explained we couldn't get out bicycles out)!
My mate's brother had the answer - a snotty Series I Landie! Just pushed them out of the way - even if that was into the middle of the road!
But WTF makes people so ignorant in the first place.

This exactly. I'd rather do this and then top it up with water. But then there's the issue of how to get the water into the sump?In the car park I park my car (yes im council) there is also garages. Two of the garages is owned by the same family.
Were do I start with this one tbh....
I have lived in my house for 17 years now and in that time I have once or twice had the gaul drive into the space they think they own in front of thier garage space.
If anyone parks within a yellow box they painted on the ground they come to my house even though its never me.
At one point I bought a van and parked it right upto the yellow line they painted.....Why because although they had plenty of space to get out they would make a hash of it. 30mins-a full hour could be had watching them get a astra out of the 2nd from end garage or a fusion out of the end garage because of the van and getting them in was even funnier tbh.
It was a total war for over 8 years and although it has calmed some, They would still call to my door shouting the odds about some car I know nothing about so I get a new van/caravan/skip/old car and park it right on the line of the yellow box they have painted to give them space.
Sounds bad but it took me 4-5 years of full on her shouting at me in the street because some car that i knew nothing about was parked a inch to close to her garage and she had to goto hospital everytime it happened.( at one point she had to goto hospital over 3 times a day for 8 weeks for i assume was blood pressure or a weight lose program)
I think I won the war because in the last 3 years she has only called on average 1 time a year and said sorry for calling bout do i know who owns the car parked in the car park instead of I am gonna kill you and your family if you dont tell whoever owns the car in the car park to move lol.

Leave an anonymous letter on his windscreen pointing out your disappointment with his behaviour. That'll teach him.
Or flathead screw driver through each tyre side wall everytime he does it. He will park somewhere else after the first time.
Or violence. The last resort is always violence. Hammer a sausage up his bum.

It's a FROZEN sausage. You try hammering a sausage at room temperature and see how far you get.

I like this 
Van drives off gets hot and candle falls out.....
At least yours was blocked, our neighbour gets s
tty about anyone parking within a 20 foot range of his house.
He didn't like being told to fk off when he tried to get really arsey about it. I could see an issue if it was blocking his drive but I wasn't even close to the entrance, so he got a load of verbal back.

Oh thats devious!Van drives off gets hot and candle falls out.....
I like that...
I had an encounter with a neighbour a few weeks back, I have a drop kerb and 2 cars on the drive next to each other, however I can't get one car off if someone parks their car on the verge outside my house, meaning I have to move car 1 to get car 2 out and then put back car 1.
When I'm on call it gets annoying, especially as all my neighbours leave it clear except for one scrote who always decides to park there because he can't be bothered to use his own drive. He didn't like me hammering on his door at 2am the other day to move it as I needed car 2 as I was on call... Hasn't parked there since.

OP if you can't dominate your driveway you may be in the wrong place.
Next time he does it throw a can of redbull at him. Alternatively https://www.mumsnet.com/
Joking aside. Is it a dropped kerb?
