Can someones car be taken in a civil way?
Discussion
Long story but I'd like to keep it short.
I have a forklift on somebody's land. Said person will not speak to me but through a third party has said he wants it moved. Eventually he threatens to get a scrapman in to remove the forklift if not moved in two days.
I go to move it and I cannot as a part is missing which said person has thrown away.
I have ordered a new part but won't get it for a week. It's impossible for me to move it until then.
Said person still will not speak to me and is being a total arse. I have removed a wheel so it cannot be towed should someone have a machine capable of towing 5 tonne stuck in the ground forklift in a tight location.
I have text said person this and also stated that I will pursue him for £5000 if it disappears and have also set up a camera.
I phoned 101 and they have said he can move it on his property and possibly off of it but if a scrapman comes this is theft.
I have spare keys to said persons vehicle.
If the forklift does disappear I assume it will be a civil battle.
If I then took said persons vehicle and left name and address and a bill for a forklift to be paid and stated clearly I have taken his vehicle is this civil or criminal?
I'd highly like this to stay sensible and am just after a quick answer. I need the money from the forklift and have been doing it up to sell and have been pressed into this pretty quickly!
