Clamp it or call the police. Block it with another car if you can.

 

Ask them to move it? :daft:

 

as above politely,at first lol

 

jack up back end and put in the garage . when a puzzeld person nocks the door asking if you have seen there car say police took it . then push it back out on to road on doubel yellows if possible wipe off all finger prints and sit back and wait for trafic warden who has just had a anonymous phone call

 

It's an obstruction and is therefore illegal. Ask them to move it, if they refuse then call the police (if you want to take an honest action )

 

There is no one sat in the car and I have no idea who's it is. I cannot block it in unfortunately as access is required for my next door neighbours.

I have left a polite note under the windscreen wiper suggesting that they ask me before parking on my drive.

But I feel so impotent. It has really annoyed me and there is nothing I can do.

Try and set their alarm off?

 

I am conflicted.

I don't want a fight, I won't call the police unless the driver refuses to move it (the police have got enough to do trying to catch scrotes), but I don't want him parked on my drive!

Grrrrrrr...I guess I am just venting frustration.

Is there any way that I can find out who owns the car?

knock on your neighbours doors and ask

 

What would you do if you need to get out urgently ? Righty, call the police.
For a compromise I'd call them and ask what to do. I have made the experience that they try to reach the unknown driver before a tow-car will be send. Let the police work for you, it's their job

Yes but at least he's covered because he's reported it... if the police dither and there's an emergency, the onus is then on them.

 

Like people are saying mate call the police its illegal to obstruct access its your right of way !

 

It's not really blocking access, it's just making it more difficult.

I am not sure the police would give a monkeys.

 

block it in wait and then have a chat.

 

I can't really block it in.

So to try and explain the positioning.

I live in a small close off a close. There are 4 properties that are accessed over a red bricked driveway. I own the property closest to the entrance. I have two parking spaces outside my house, then there is an area of my property that I have to keep clear for access to the other properties then there is another parking space at 90 degrees to the first two that runs parallel to the access way. When leaving the main two parking spaces we reverse into the 3rd space to get out. With a car there it is very awkward and means a 10 point turn.

The 3rd space is free at both ends so 'blocking in' would need two cars and the length of the space would not allow it.

 

Matt now get in gear and call the cops. You've got ONLY a question as a concerned citizen. They won't eat you

 

i would you never know it could be knicked?

 

I don't suppose its illegal to put a sharp spikey thing on the drive in your own property (as in just behind their front passenger wheel) :lol:

 

This happens to us every now and again so we reverse our car (If one is on the drive) right up to the drivers door so they can't get in unless they go in the passenger side and climb over. Seems to work! No-one has had the cheek to knock on the door and ask us to move it yet!

To do that would block access for our neighbours, so no go I'm afraid.

 

Its a quiet street and everyone who did walk past laughed.

 

Surly it's trespass & that's against the law

 

It appears that the matter is not a police matter.

This was taken from the Thames Valley Police website:

Q: Someone has parked on my land. What can I do?
A: As the vehicle is on private land, it is for you (or the owner of the land) to resolve the issue.

The following suggestions may help you:
make local enquiries to see if you can trace the driver or get information about when the vehicle was left

you may be able to arrange for the vehicle's removal by contacting the local authority. There may be a charge for this service which you could claim from the owner if he or she can be traced

seek legal advice from your solicitor or from your local Citizen's Advice Bureau.
Contact us again if you have further evidence or information which suggests that there is now something suspicious about the vehicle.

So it seems like I am buggered.

Jack it up bump it off

 

Yes but it's causing an obstruction which is a police matter (I found that out from a neighbour who is retired CID!).

 

That's so strange to me Matt. If had a similar problem, I'd call the police, give them the numberplate and they normally try to phone the owner ....

Go on moaning btw., good vent. We're here in good and in bad times

 

nothing wrong with a good moan, just ask my wife lol.

 

We all could be at yours within the hour:lol:

 

i'm confused so forgive me if i'm wrong.are you saying someone has parked in a parking space that you like to use for getting in and out your drive thats in or near a shared access way? I just dont get it,is it actually on your drive or parking spaces or whatever or just a slight pain in the arse that someones actually parked there? I think most people with driveways have problems with inconsiderate parking causing stress.
Apart from that I have no real advice other than you can get in and out with effort,somebody may not have taken your needs into consideration sure,but hey dont sweat it,really its no biggy.

 

No it is my moi laaaaand. On my deeds, demarked by different coloured bricks on the drive.

 

The red area is where the car is.

 

Is that a red TF ? lol

 

Let his front tyre down (so looks like its just gone flat) then when hes trying to pump it up stoll outside and say WTF are you doing on MY drive?

 

Any pics?

Just leave them a note on there wind screen!

 

That is what I have done....it's still there...maybe it has been abandoned?
