If it was on an incline towards the road and the "hand brake failed" who would know,
either that or any local scrotes you could drop a tenner to remove it?

Loving the idea of building a wall, but a fair amount of work and expense.
Likewise, jacking it up and moving it - but would that trigger an alarm that could be going off for days?

I'd definitely make it disappear.............

Yeah, but worth it as I'd be sitting in the garden with my friends  laughing and videoing it for YouTube when the gits return

had the inlaws over the other day and they were telling us about a couple who'd made their local paper as someone had parked their car on their drive, partially blocking their access and then buggered off abroad for a week and a half. Seems they'd parked there to avoid airport carpark fees. They'd been told that the police couldnt help as it was not on a public highway and that they could not touch the car for fear of doing any criminal damage! Me, Id get a couple of mates, a couple of trolley jacks and park it on some double yellows somewhere. What would you lot do?

I like this thread.

So the police are not interested as it is off road.  But yet if you park accross a a drive entrance that is illegal.  So they park accross thier own entrance (Not illegal) and block a car in which is not thiers.

Any damage on the car, could they prove it wasnt there when they left it. 

Lift it up and take off the whells and hold it to ransom, how could any one say anything as the car was on thier drive.

This is a good one.  I would have applied for the log book whilst they were on holiday and then accuse them of stealing what they assumed to be thiers as it was thought of as a gift.

A bannana up the the exhaust.   

A flat trype.

A lose Sump plug.........

Cat poo down the air vents.....

Change his number plates, or just remove the one nearest the house as they will try for a quick and quiet getaway.


I need to chill as this sort of thing obviously pi55es me off.

A lose Sump plug.........

Good one. Do what the main Volvo stealer did to my dad's 260GLE years ago. Strip the sump plug and then bodge it with plumber's mait. Next time it gets nice and hot on the motorway.... Splat... Rattle.... Leg out of bed...

I vote for the removal of wheels and a note on the window advising the charge to get them back to cover their parking fees,

If it's a decent car,  say a omega then Join the omega owners club, post a tread stating your braking it for spares and get members to come and remove what they want, they pay u and u havnt even touched the car.
One week later you are left with a shell and some little scrap man will come and collect, job done and u have made money

"You've been framed" seems to spring to mind at times like this.

Not seen pics, but if is obstructing and not just mildly annoying for visibility and manouevering:

Check:
http://www.freecarcheck.org/search for MOT
http://www.askmid.com/ownvehicle/ for insurance
tax disc

If poss drag a few feet with rope and towing eye.

Pasting one sheet of A4 asking to politely not park obstructing the driveway on the side glass is not criminal damage but annoying to remove.

Spray snow is not damaging but great fun....

Don't try the expanding foam up the exhaust and removing all sign at the tail pipe, you'll get them confounded and you'll get in trouble.....

If all else fails, find a way in, release the handbrake and persuade it somewhere else.  I got cross once, got in, released the handbrake and used my company car to ram the offending car 150yds into a tricky spot which looked like they had carelessly left the handrake off when re-locked.
Fun

been away for a bit and just caught up with all your ideas-excellent!!


btw, on a different tack, a mate of mine was moving out of his flat so, along with a mates car, he hired a van. Unfortunately parking is a bit hard to come by round there so he ended up getting wheel clamped-at a staggering £165-each .Apparantly there were notices to this effect but the guys who did the clamping wouldnt entertain any leniency (oddly they both sported some facial injuries from an earlier dispute! ) so he paid the fines as he obviously needed the cars. With hindsight maybe he would have done the deflate the tyres and remove the clamp thing, but surely there is some sort of regulations to limit the amount these companies can charge/fine? I mean £40, even£60, but £165ffs!Think he'll be a bit more carefull where he parks in future....

It's a thought!
