Damaged cars parked on the road
Discussion
Some advice wanted.
A few weeks back, a neighbour bought a crash damaged car - assume from an insurance company to do up - which has been parked on a drive. However, having got home from work today there is another with damage to the front right parked on the road outside my house that looks to have come from an auction.
Well, I say road - its actually bumped up blocking the entire pavement.
There are no number plates so can't check if taxed etc but what is the legality of such a car being parked on the road? Can't say I'm happy with it.

is it causing you direct problems?
Surely he has brought two to make one working one and then intends to scrap the rest of the other one that he does not need, or break for bits. As such it will probably be gone in a week or two.
The problem with living near other people is sometimes they have stuff and crazy ideas as they live their life. unless it directly effects you let the poor guy get on with enjoying his life and his love of cars.
You could always "catch" him as he walks by and inquire about the project, see how long he intends to leave the car there and then suggest he does it asap...or you could moan on a forum and then phone the Police and throw it all out of proportion.

If it's sorn then he should obviously only have it in a garage or private driveway
Very common, especially if your besties with the local breakers
I've seen absolute steals like S-Class, XJ, 8 series etc come from breakers who bought them off insurance for buttons and are happy to get a £100 profit rather than break them and hold out
