Bloke uses our road as a Car Park

[wndsr]

Keying is off the cards, don't worry posters.

For those saying it's not a problem, sure I do see your point and understand that whilst it's only one car - what if the problem were to grow and more and more people parked their cars outside people's houses for days on end?

 

[Raymond Lin]

There is not much you can do, if notes not working then not without resorting criminal damage which I suggest you don’t.

I guess you can block the car in on Thursday, forces him/her to knock on the doors to be let out and then talk to this person.

I wonder if the OP and friends would be this upset if it was a Vauxhall Corsa or something. You do wonder.

If you are suggesting that just because he has a BMW that I have an issue, then no seeing as I drive a Merc.

Don't stoop to vandalism. Just see if you can catch the guy when he is parking/leaving and speak to him, instead of writing silly letters.

Ah, you probably feel sorry for the poor chap then.

 

[EdGey]

Maybe have a quite word with him when you see him? or rather, the neighbors whom it actually affects should.

If he knew how much it was annoying people he might just park elsewhere from then. I would...

Failing that... deal with it I suppose

 

[Sho]

Wow, you're one of those guys. My father is too, goes mental if he can't park right outside the house.

Same on my street. There few people go mental when they can't park in front of their door!

 

[Janesy B]

It's not illegal, there's no parking restrictions in place, there's no resident's permits required. Unless the deeds for your house cover the road outside too, it's tough really.

If it's really a big problem and the residents are happy with raising this with the council, do this, rather than vandalising someone's property. Someone who is legally entitled to park on the road.

As for those suggesting vandalism, car vandals are scum of the highest (lowest?) order.

Or you could just speak to the person if it's really causing you that much bother...

 

[wndsr]

I'd welcome to the opportunity to talk to him and I'm definitely not against doing so, just trying to catch him is hard work as I never see him.

That's not exclusive to your street, few people go mental when they can't park in front of their door in most places.

 

[Erich Kriegler]

I can't see anything wrong with what he's doing.

 

[rG-tom]

what station?

 

[antijoke]

Is it bad that when walking home late one night last week I was tempted to key it as I walked past?

WOW!

Keep an eye on the car 24/7 instead of drinking cheap booze and playing on the xbox.

 

[wndsr]

what station?

Woodsmoor on the Buxton line.

WOW!

Don't worry - it won't happen

 

[Cosimo]

Get everyone on your street to sign a petition for a parking zone then go see your council.

 

[OhEsEcks]

WE DIDN'T BEAT THE NAZIS JUST SO SOME BMW ****** CAN PARK WHERE HE LIKES!

 

[tom_e]

Then your neighbours can complain about having to pay to park outside their house

 

[rpg]

It's a nice enough car. Might increase the market value of your property having it nearby. Give him £20 the next time you see him.

 

[leaskovski]

Your road is it? Is it a private road then? If it is, then I guess you could get it towed, otherwise if its a public highway, suck it up as you can't stop anyone from parking there if it doesn't have parking restrictions.
