I don't understand half the replies in here... How would keying it, putting stuff in the exhaust pipe so it won't start, thus being longer on your drive or generally vandalizing it help getting it moved? It'll still be in the same place, just abit bruised.

i would do it because in my tiny little mind i would think that i have tought the little puppy who is doing wrong a lesson.

Rather than complaining about it on an internet forum, you could go and knock on some of your neighbour's doors and ask if it's their van, or if they saw who parked it?

Exactly, there may be a perfectly reasonable reason (albeit unconvenient for Miller) that they've parked across your drive.

Damaging someone elses property just makes you as bad as all the other lowlife scum who do it.

I'm horrified to see what I'm seeing from you lot. I know some of you are joking, but I know some of you aren't aswell, this post is more directed at those who aren't.

If someone came and vandalised your property because you'd parked it in an inconveiniant place you'd be on here so fast complaining that your head would spin.

As Jammy says, you don't know why he's parked there and at the end of the day, even if he knew what he was doing at the time, since when do two wrongs make a right?

I'm glad Millers Mini has been a decent guy and left a note, a decent citizen and the best way I think.

At my aunties house it's pretty much impossible to park without blocking someone in, if all those people took some of the "advice" that's been posted in here, there wouldn't be parking spaces at my aunties, there'd just be a car graveyard.

we used to get this 3-4 times a year on our old house as it was the nearest free parking to the town center

i used to phone the police and give the the reg number, normally they used to find the owner and get it moved with in 1/2 an hour

if they could not find the owner they would stick a ticket on it for unlawful obstruction and said if it was still there 12 hours later they could tow it away

[gregh55]

if he hasnt kept it in gear cut the handbrake and let it roll down the hill pmsl

or put a jack underneith it and wheel it ut the way pmsl

dumb ideas but unless the guy moves it not alot you can do

or the police lol

Try having your car keyed.

We used to have a guy park on our drive a lot. There used to be a garage running from the back garden, so it was pretty inconvenient. Soon stopped it when Dad got a wheel clamp for a fiver off the car boot and used it

Years ago I lived in a village where a hunt visited occasionally. It was then that I discovered those horsey types think they own everything and have no regard for anyone else, parking across everyone's drives with alacrity. (To this day it's my main reason for being anti-hunt - bugger the foxes, it's the people I can't abide). So when I knew the hunt was coming, I used to park two of our cars on the road with traffic cones across the drive.


More recently, we used to have a Nissan Micra that would park outside our house while we were at work, and be gone when we got up. Nobody ever saw the driver come and go. One day my neighbour needed a skip delivered, and the Micra was across the front again. Well at the time I had a huge LandCruiser, so I simply hitched a rope to the front of the Micra and dragged it up the road 100 yards!

We never saw it again.
