Man shrink wraps car for being parked outside his house

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/in-for-a-nasty-...

On one hand it must be annoying when people use up the on-street parking because they're too tight to pay for it at the airport, but then what they've done is legal and I'm not sure I would involve the papers!
That car, unless on a one-way street, is illegally parked every night, when it gets dark! The Police, therefore, could have ticketed it! smile

(PH - Pedantry rules, OK!).

But I still think it is a click-bait set-up!

Although I agree its selfish to leave your car outside someone else's house especially for 2 weeks there is nothing illegal in it but looking at the picture, not only does the bloke not own the road it looks like a council house so he probably doesn't even own the house either, talk about taking the piss.
Relevance? I bet most of PH members dont own their houses either, having a mortgage doesn't mean you own it. Just saying.

We need an "annoyingly parked" thread. That car isnt badly parked, its legally parked and pretty straight.

And a car accident thread. That might stop car accidents being posted here too.

2 days and he wraps it up?

On our street we had someone leave a car for 5 weeks whilst they went away somewhere.

I guess that the clingfilm would have deteriorated somewhat during that period of time.

A good piece of parkibg in lidl at bingham today.
They even looked back to check it was ok..
There was another one at aldi which I was driving off so I could not get a photo. It was a 17 plate 3 series bmw left with 2 wheels on the kerb. Again they looked to check it was ok.
Neither car park was very busy.

I see so many like this, how on earth can they even think it's being right with the back end hanging over into the bay behind them. Bloody tards.

And you ever seen one get a ticket. Absolutely not, in fact my local supermarket is covered by cameras from Euro Car Parks to clock you in and out, never seen an attendant ever.

This is the staff zone of the long stay at Stansted.

First point worth mentioning is London Stansted fail to provide adequate parking for pilots, cabin crew, ground handlers, check in staff, terminal staff and so on. However they happily charge you £3.50 or whatever it is to drop off at the terminal, but can't provide suitable parking for those who work and fly from this airport.

So people park in interesting and inventive ways so they can get in to work and flights aren't delayed, cue the parking nazi every few days who's job it is to put warning notices on windscreens telling people off for making use of available space. Honestly this airport is an absolute sthole.

Anyway, a combination of too few but excessively wide spaces causes situations such as the above, the likelihood that the silver Honda owner will struggle to get in their car thanks the to beige Civic abandoned alongside.

What was going on with the 2 cars in the foreground? They don't look to have done too fine a job either.

PS: beige?

Parking in the bay behind = the new parking in two bays side by side,

Chesterfield this morning.

The nurse in the second picture saw them park, asked them not to leave it like that, but they ignored her.

Also the Lexus is blocking in several cars.
