It sounds like a story from an Alan Bennet play I know.

Someone has apparently abandoned an ancient caravan on the main road near where we live.

It's very old - one of those small things you would see in the 1970s/80s being towed by an Autumn Maxi or a Ford Cortina.

To be honest I've sen better garden sheds.

It doesn't appear to be occupied and although not causing an obstruction right now it has recently been blocking a minor access road.

I've a feeling someone may be having a laugh but my concern is that being apparently abandoned it may attract vandals.

Apart from towing it or torching it, what's the legal way to have it removed? With no plates, I guess it can't be traced.

At present it's a curiosity and if someone is having a laugh then fair play. They've got the neighborhood talking.

I did consider towing it to my neighbors house. He's a bit of a Victor Meldrew.

But joking aside. What's the deal with getting it shifted legally?
