I was going to say, if you were hypothetically doing some woodwork outside your garage, and spilt some tacks, as is so easily done, then got distracted by the phone and forgot to tidy them up.. I reckon they would stop parking there... ::)

If its No. 10 looks like its got a leaking roof to me, be careful when fixing that, that you dont drop something, loose your ladders or fall off.

you may be forced to park/block someone under some circumstances.. but civilized way is to leave the mobile phone number on the dash so that people can call you.. otherwise you are at least ignorant.. :-X

I live in a one way narrow street..where two cars can hardly pass.. I'm living your problem everyday both in job and home.. but I have cameras outside so I can check for which home they come.. and after I start to disturb them.. in worst case, I call one of neighbours with his car and block the "guest" ;D

Spain has a good solution to this problem.

You pay a small fee to the council who come and erect a no parking numberedor get towed away sign up in front of garage doors. Works really well. You have to be well off to pay 140 euros to get your car back from the pound.

So if you come to go out and find a car parked in front of your garage, a phone call elicits a very quick response from the council (simple revenue generating scheme.)

Looks like he's had a spot of anger management with that front wing  :( Thats the trouble these days if you ask politely for them to move they take it upon themselves to cause more grief in retaliation  :(

I often get problem with people blocking my drive and going off to another house or up the lane to somewhere else, I live in a small cul-de-sac I live in an end house on the dead end of the street with the drive at the side of the house, many times I have been blocked in by people parking in front of the drive which is perfectly visibile, a few months ago I had to go somewhere quite urgently but couldn't as some idiot had parked their car in front of the drive and went for a walk, I could not get my car out of the drive for 45 minutes. My brother then parked in front of them as he had nowhere else to park and the had the cheek to knock the door complaining about my brother blocking him in, this is when I gave him my thoughts.

It did happen to one of mine about 10 years ago.

The bitch would double park blocking the road off and just walk in and lock her doors laughing  >:( >:(
We got sick car drivers banging on the door because they couldn't get down the street.
Phoned the local coppers who basicly said, if they have to come out we will both get a ticket  >:( >:( >:(

Then one strange night, her handbrake cable gave way and her car misteriously rolled 50 yards down the street, across a road and ended up on the grass verge   :o

Funny enough, it never happened again  :-X

i had this last year some had parked across my garage,but this time i was just going to put car away,i left it in the parking area blocking the offending car,when he came out he started complaining he was blocked in,i then went down and gave him my thoughts,he quickly left after i moved my car  ;D

You need something like this!  :)

Then you move the car somewhere else and position it so that it cannot be driven out.....  ;D

They deserve a brick through all of their windows (plus a flat denial from you if you are questioned saying you were in bed, away at a mates etc) so the local yobs get the blame because they are quite simply either ignorant, illiterate, stupid or a combination of all three!
To tow it would be illegal and obviously done to clear a path to your garage..........
Do you know any yobs you give a tenner to to nick it...............

A few months ago, some stupid bint parked across my Dad's drive, blocking him in. He was blocked in all night, but as he didn't need to go anywhere, left things as they were. When it was still there there the following morning & he needed to go out, he phoned the Police, who arranged for a local recovery firm to take it away.
Funny how she's never parked anywhere near since.  ::) ;D
