I had to tow at least 6 cars from a reserved parking spot I was paying for while living at my mother's in a trailer park. One night I come home after class and the guy is still at his car, so I went to confront him. Apparently, the atittude I have toward people illegally parking in the spot I pay a monthly fee for makes me an asshole, but the fact that he shouldn't be parked there in the first place is somehow irrelevant. Many people are self-centered assholes and aren't concerned with the needs of others.
Prior neighbor and I had side by side driveways, each over 120 feet long. She used to tell her company they could park in our driveway (instead of there's). Having cars towed is wonderful!
That happened to me once. I just parked my car behind him, got on the bus and went to the airport! Two weeks later when I came home the car was still there! When he turned up to claim it I charged him £50 for parking. The policeman who called when he refused to pay had trouble holding back his laughter! A prominent but unreacheable camera helped too! He did a lot of waliking those two weeks. The policeman discovered it was a company car that the man needed for his job! I wondered what he told his boss and if it agreed with what the police told his boss!
+James Simpson, once you trap a vehicle, you can't call it trespassing, as you are preventing egress. It's like store security grabbing someone, and holding them to be charged as trespassers, it's usually a losing bet.
I was wondering how the cop got there so fast too, but the description does say something about this person drove illegally at the school and was potentially hiding from the cop. So, that's why the cop showed up so quick, I guess.
I used to be a school bus driver and the parents would park in the bus zone all the time. The Big buses would get revenge by double parking and boxing them in.
I did this once but I was going really quick because I new there was a bus behind me. Passenger quickly got out and I tried taking of straight away but the bus ended up double parking, blocking me in and causing a huge traffic jam behind him. I only did it because he had about 4 other free bus lanes right behind me and all the people jumping on the bus had to walk upto where I was parked. Anyway he noticed I was just trying to get in and out and not park there so he quickly regretted his decision and Just let everybody on for free lmao yw random civilians
I've come home to find people parked in my driveway a few times, I always just park behind them blocking them in. Then head inside and call a tow truck out. Once I had the owner knocking on my door yelling and screaming for me to move my car, so I calmly told him that I would happily move my car for the tow truck when it arrived, and if he didn't get off my property I would call the cops. He kept threatening me and carrying on even with the cops on the phone. Long story short he was charged with several serious offences, a hefty tow/impound fee, plus court costs and damages. Don't park in someone else's driveway folks
I actually found the letter, I don't know if you care, but you felt like sharing a story, I felt like sharing one.. Enjoy if you want: Rob, I do not know who left this note on my car; feel free to redirect this response to whomever did or authorized the leaving of this note on my car. For the record, I did not write the handwritten response on your note, nor do I know which fellow tenant of mine did. But I agree with them. The only reason I parked my car that way in the first place was because the lot was full and half of the lot was blocked by YOUR STRAIGHT TRUCK. Quite frankly, you have some god damn nerve to leave that note on my vehicle considering your inconsiderate attitude caused the situation in the first place. I work nights, in a warehouse, I come home after hours of heavy lifting, sweating aching and stinking, I don’t want to have to hunt for a place to park, I shouldn’t have to go find you to move the fucking truck. Now I have lived here to date, 2 years and 2 months, and I have endured certain things, for starters yesterday was not the first time I have come home from work and found nowhere to park, granted its not always because of [business name redacted]'s truck, I admit that. However, there are numerous things I have dealt with over the past 2 years that usually trace back to the family members of somebody you keep in your employ. These things I have dealt with include having nowhere to park because of your employee’s family’s houseguests. I didn’t say anything last summer when there was another similar smartassy note left on our dumpster about being adults and cleaning up after ourselves. This note was posted not one week after I watched your employee bring an entire truck load of his personal trash and put in that dumpster the very morning it was emptied by the trash company. I did not say anything when I was keeping trash in my apartment which potentially could attract vermin because the dumpster was always full because the neighborhood seems to think it’s a public dumpster. I haven’t said anything about the electronic shit that sits behind the dumpster that probably the EPA would take great issue with considering the mercury and lead that computer equipment contains that sitting out for months at a time exposed to the elements. I haven’t said anything about the roaches we’ve occasionally had to deal with, which primarily as someone who has an educational background in PC repair myself, knows how much roaches love computer towers, that’s where they keep coming from. Several months ago, I had 2 books shipped via the postal service; somehow they were delivered to your store despite the mail carrier having access to the building. Don’t know where those books went, the postal service opened a case and swear up and down that GPS tracking the carriers use as well as their own notation say they were delivered to the store. That’s money I’m out. I didn’t raise a fuss about it. I’ve had soda poured on my car; I’ve been woken up at 3am by the Jerry Springer episodes that take place frequently around here. I had a BB shot through my kitchen window 48 hours after I called the police regarding the aforementioned…. that I’m 99% sure based on trajectory points of the screen and a higher hole in the actual glass points down straight to that particular back yard. Incidentally, around the same time I noticed the hole in the kitchen window one my cats had a nick in his ear and dried blood, now I don’t know if one of my other cats did that, or if someone in that house or someone related to that house shot at one of my cats or not. I can’t prove it, but all of these things I tolerate, but I’m getting to the end of what I’m willing to put up with. By the way, I rent a 2 bedroom, even though it’s just me, I have 2 parking permits, I only use 1. My stepbrother has several “beater” cars, I could take another spot if I so desired, I’m sure he’d lend me one. Like my fellow tenant said on that note, we live here, you only work here. Keep that in mind, and while you’re keeping that in mind, do not ever put a note on my vehicle again, in fact keep your hands off my vehicle entirely. If you have any issues with me, direct them to [property manager's names redacted] I will do my absolute best to steer clear of you and you should do the same. I will have all packages from Fedex or UPS held for pickup at their terminals. If I do happen to miss one, please feel free to refuse delivery. Cordially, [my name redacted] Apartment 8
Oh, just another side note and background, the likely justification for why they put that note on the dumpster was because that same employee mentioned in the letter. I was on my way to the doctor, I had a really bad case of bronchitis and pleurisy, it took 2 rounds of antibiotics to knock out, doxycylene didnt work, I had to go on Levaquin and prednisone- levaquin in particular has a lot of nasty side effects all on its own). The dumpster was completely packed, and I just said fuck it and put the bag in front of the dumpster (I had carried it down on my way out the door), and that employee of the store tried to argue with me about the trash bag. I could barely breathe, but I managed to get out a good loud "mind your own fucking business". If I was healthier at the time, it probably would have come to blows.
@@Nekulturny I feel you. I used to live in apartment complex, and it was actually nice before the neighbors from hell moved in. Each apartment had 2 parking spaces that are right at the front door. I lived by myself, and worked 2 jobs, so I wouldn't be home sometimes until like 3 in the morning. I had one car, but constantly I would get home, and have NO spot to park... In front of my own door... That I was supposed to have 2 spaces. I had to constantly bang on their door for their company to move their damn cars. They were straight trash, throwing their beer bottles and trash in my garbage bin(and I always would clean mine out and they let theirs stink up the area), and then what finally made me leave, was they brought damn roaches in the complex. At that point, I had to go. I loved that place too, but people just ruin everything, and they have no respect for anyone.
@@tenadefiant Yeah, surprisingly after I wrote that letter the computer store people went out of their way to kiss my ass, so it ended happily I guess. Even so, I ended up moving out rather than renewing for a 3rd year. I don't miss the place thats for sure.
We built a garage/carport at the back of my fathers house and after we left home he seldom used it but the neighbours living at the back started parking there with impunity- I told one of them to move and they refused saying there was no sign to say they couldn’t park there !! So we blocked her in. Some people have little respect for others property and will use ignorance/disrespect as an excuse
Richard Evans at least you were able to build a garage/carport, one of my sister's neighbor tried to build a garage on his own property, the other neighbor next door got jealous of the fact that the neighbor was building a garage and that his own car would have to be parked out in the open so he took the matter to court and won the case even though the garage owner had prior council approval to build the said garage in the first place.
Richard Evans last time i heard from my sister the neighbor was going through a significant legal battle to try and finish off his garage, the company which originally built all the houses in that area were constructed with driveways for each property and a pre-designated spot on each property in which a garage could be built, the company left it up to individual home owners to construct garages to try and save costs, and because no owner had previously decided to build a garage in that housing community the judge sided with the jealous neighbour in saying that a garage would "ruin the asthetic of the neighbouehood". It all just boiled down to one neighbours jealousy of another spending money on improving their own property and unfortunately in the country where my sister lives once such a case is lost in court then its an almost impossible task to regain permission to continue work. That said the garage was nearly completed, all the walls were up all that needed doing was putting up the roof and the garage door, he ended uo putting a tarp for his roof and uses it as a semi open car port so his car is still kind of out of the weather.
I don't know what the law is where you are but if you put up a sign that says "parking space for rent $1000 per hour, by parking here you agree to pay the parking fee, minimal rental 4 hours" then if they park there you can bill them, sue for the rental fee and you will get it. I arbitrarily said $1000 above but you can claim any amount you want. We had a flea market across the street from where I used to live and invariably I would get home from work on Saturday morning and find someone parked in my driveway and a cop told me he could not do anything at all. The process for having the car towed takes about six months. I literally would never get to park in my own driveway. But then he told me that if I put up a sign like the one above, and I recorded when they parked there then I would be able to sue and collect. I didn't believe him at first but I made a sign announcing the $1000 per hour parking fee and minimum four hour rental for the space. I also added that by parking in that space the renter agreed to forfeiting their vehicle on the spot if the bill isn't paid. Sure enough my first customer pulled in my spot at 7 in the morning and I got home in 1 in the afternoon so he owed me $6000. So I parked my car in the street in front of my driveway blocking possible exit from the driveway. I waited in a chair on my lawn with a cell phone in hand until 5 in the afternoon making it a $10,000 rental. My video surveillance was had recorded the entire day so I could show it to the police. When the guy came to pull out of my driveway he started screaming obscenities. He wanted to know whose car was blocking his exit. I told him it was the person who owned the parking space he agreed to rent. He claimed he didn't agree to any such thing. So I showed him the sign which he claimed wasn't there when he pulled in. Then I showed him the video of me putting up the sign the day before. I told him I had him on surveillance arriving at 7. It was now five and he owed my a $10k parking fee for the day. I told him he could have his car when he paid the bill. He became combative. I called the police who came and the police told the gentleman that they could do nothing and that it was within my right to have the vehicle towed and that it was within my right to place a lien on the car for the parking fee which is what I did. The guy again became combative and so the cops arrested him. Then I called the town impound and ordered a tow. I pointed out the sign in my driveway, filled out the lien paperwork and the impound vehicle towed the vehicle out of my driveway. All I had to do was get the paperwork notarized which I since my neighbor is a notary. Since they had been parking in his driveway blocking him from pulling out he was happy to notarize the form for free. I filed a copy with the impound lot and another copy with the town code enforcement division and that was it. He was to get the car back when he paid the tow, impound fees and my lien. He sued me and lost. The car was worth $7000. He had to pay $5000 in his lawyers fees. He had to pay $2500 in my lawyers fees. He had to pay $1200 in court costs. He was ordered to pay my $10,000 parking fee and he still owed the impound lot. He refused to pay any of that so... I ordered his vehicle auctioned and got $7000 for it. I paid the towing and my legal fees and impound fees out of that. There was a little over $2000 left over after all of that. His lawyer ended up suing him and the court issued a bench warrant and put him in jail for contempt for refusing to pay court costs. The court ended up garnishing his wages. His lawyer ended up garnishing his wages. Since he still owed me $8000 I filed in court for a lien for that and additional court and legal fees on his home. Six months later he sold his house and had to pay me the balance of the $8000 out of the sale of the house because his buyer wouldn't complete the sale until he did or the buyer would have had to pay me. Either way I got paid, paid my income tax and cleared about $7000. The story made the local newspaper and every house on the street put up similar signs. Several of my neighbors also made some money off the jerks who kept illegally parking in their driveways. A year after all this happened the flea market sent letters to everyone in the neighborhood requesting that they discontinue price gouging on our parking fees and saying that it was unfair to their customers that they should have to pay such ridiculous fees to park in people's driveways. About a dozen of us including me took our letters to the manager's office at the flea market and told him where he could put the letters. Then he threatened to sue us. We invited him to try. But we ended up going to the mayor's office instead and requested that the flea market's business license be revoked for creating a nuisance. The city code enforcement instead threatened to take the flea market by eminent domain and turn it into a town park and by state law they would only have to pay the owner a fraction of fair market value if it was turned into open space use rather than commercial. . Another case, there is an elementary school next door to my former bank. Every week I would go there to transact business but one day I pulled into the parking lot and there was not a single parking space to be had. I pulled in line at the drive through teller and they told me that happens when school gets out and that I would have to come back another time. I had to access my safe deposit box and then I had to go to work so there was no other time. So I parked my car blocking the exit and went inside the bank to find not a single customer inside. At that point I said they need to prevent the school's parents from blocking access to my own bank or I would have to change banks. They claimed they could do nothing so I closed my account, removed the contents from my box and went outside to find about fifty very irate parents and two cops. I explained things to the cops and pointed out the signs prohibiting non bank customers from parking and told them I was the only person present with the right to be in the parking lot in the first place and that all the parents were preventing me from transacting necessary business at my own bank. The cops declined to issue me a ticket. So I left and never returned having closed my accounts. I drove past that bank at the same time of day a few weeks later and found the parking lot empty and parents double parked all up and down the street with about a dozen cops trying desperately to direct traffic. I later read in the paper that the school had closed it's rear parking lot which is where the parents used to park. They instead converted the space into a school playground leaving the parents no place to park so they flooded into neighboring businesses virtually shutting down the whole neighborhood for over an hour every day when school was in session. So what did the town do to eliminate the problem? They constructed the new middle school two blocks away on the same street and did it WITHOUT a parking lot and included in the plan that parent parking would be by street only. I moved out of state before that school was completed. My former neighbor informs me that traffic and parking is a nightmare every morning and every afternoon and that kids usually get home from school around five in the afternoon and that last winter some kids didn't get home from school until 7 at night. If someone is blocking your driveway or using it illegally, you can usually blame poor town/city planning.
Reaginic Wolf Exactly. A bit over the top i think. The guy lost his home over it afterall. Seems a bit extreme to me but then again I wasn't there. Still feel a bit sorry for the guy if that was the outcome.
When I first bought my house after a major snowstorm I shoveled out my driveway and I went to the store and when I came back a dude parked in my driveway. Being new to neighbor hood I don't know anyone's cars yet. Hoping they were watching I looked in the windows for mail even pulled. Up on door handle. Had to call police, cause I now had to park down the street with groceries to carry up a snow covered street. As soon as the police car arrived my next door neighbor came out. I asked. Why he didn't use his driveway and he said because he didn't want to walk thru the snow since he didn't shovel it yet. Nice start for a neighbor relationship
Seems like your idiot neighbor is the type to never return borrowed tools and probably still has some from the previous owner of your home. Edit: Maybe your idiot neighbor is the reason the previous owner moved out, lol!
What is upsetting he saw you wanting to park instead he stayed inside the apartment instead of doing the right thing and remove his damn snow from his driveway. What a jerk!
It all boils down to having no regard or respect for other people or their property and it is all about "what suits and pleases me" and "what i can get away with". Unfortunately, the world now seems to be full of these type of people.
+CrazyBear65, your name checks out. Crazy as hell. Someone parking on your property temporarily isn't even an offense, let alone one that justifies shooting someone. If someone parks, and you don't like it, you can tell them to leave. If they don't leave, it's criminal trespassing. That's it. If you use violence, you are legally the aggressor, as it is INSANE to attack someone or threaten them with deadly force over being parked in your driveway. +Nofreebeer. The problem isn't people or PC crap. It's terrible engineers in certain cities, with bad public planning policy. Basically, cities allow new areas to be built without planning for parking, and then it's simply a mathematical fact that a certain number of incidents will occur each and every day. It's literally unavoidable. You can't legally drop your kids off to school super early (trespassing). You can't legally stop in the street (moving violation). You can't wait in line (fired from work). You can in some areas stop in a driveway legally (or it may be illegal in some jurisdictions). You are damned if you do, damned if you don't. There is literally no alternative, whatsoever. I don't live in such a state, and wouldn't. But the reality is that I've been in major cities with terrible engineers and city planners, and unfortunately the traffic situation is Hellish. There's nothing to be done about that by a lone driver.
You still have to be audacious and lacking consideration to be parking on property that is not correlated to any of your daily activities. Still an issue of blatant disregard for other's property. Engineering is only part of the problem. It's called planning and scheduling on the parents part.
+nofreebeer, what part of "no choice" did you not get? There is no "planning and scheduling" for many people. They have a job, they have to be there, and there's no flexibility on the part of the job, or the school. You can't drop your kid off early in many places, you can't drop them off late (you go to jail), you can't miss work for even a few minutes or you're fired. That's it. Sometimes maturity is accepting an imposition you don't like, because there's no practical alternative. If you are mad at the folks who are parking, then fire your city officials in the next election, and get someone competent. Where I live, we don't have these issues. That is because it is SOLELY an engineering question. These problems only occur when you put a gun to people's head, and give them no choice whatsoever.
It's your property and you don't want strangers parking on it without your consent. I don't get why people hate you for it. Have these people no respect for other people's property?
Having worked in a maximum security men's prison and also lived next door to a school, I can honestly say the murderers, rapists, bank robbers, drug offenders, and cop killers are so polite compared to parents at pickup and drop off.

Wasn't a great prison if you're talking with murderers, rapists, bank robbers, drug offenders and cop killers all day getting in and out of cars. Good ones keep the bad guys inside. Face it, you only dealt with polite cops.
Michael Lewis Not a record. Must be an affluent part of town. Golf with the police chief on Wednesday, Bridge club every Friday with a Councilman and his wife. That is how the cops show up so fast.
A different story, but similar. I went camping in the Scottish highlands and misjudged my walking time to the next camp site. A heavy fog came down really fast and I got lost. I was tired and so thought, "Sod it, I`ll pitch my tent here." Put my tent up and went to sleep. Hours later I was shaken awake by this huge guy, who growled at me in a thick scots accent, "what the bloody hell do you think youre doing?" I replied, "Camping, what`s it to you mate?" he gave me a baleful stare, "I don't mind you camping, but not in my foking garden!" I looked out the tent and with the mist gone I realised that somehow I`d walked onto his huge front garden and pitched my tent without seeing his house a hundred metres away. "I`m sorry mate, I didn't see the bloody house!" he fixed me a look that went straight through me and for a moment I thought he was going to thump me. Then a huge grin split his features, "You`se bloody English are fooking crazy. Yee best come up to the house for a spot of breakfast." I had a real feast and a damn good laugh with him and his wife and daughter. They even drove me to the camp site later. Great people and a wonderful memory.
Came home from a long weekend to find a strange car in my single wide driveway. A good friend has a roll off tow truck, those come in handy sometimes. We towed it to a local grocery store parking lot and left it there, problem solved. Some dude did come around later looking for his car, I played dumb, told him I had no idea what he was talking about, hoping he didn't have a dashcam in the car, lol. Apparently he didn't because that was the last I heard about it.
To those of you who are criticizing the homeowner, perhaps you aren't old enough to realize that the driveway is the homeowner's property. Would you like it if some random person just parked their vehicle in your driveway, especially if it's a 1-2 car driveway? Probably not. Unless I know you, I don't want you parking right next to my home. For all the homeowner knew at first, the guy could have been trying to break-in. He did the right thing by confronting the man and then calling police. He didn't get all pissed off and start a fist fight. Everyone on our street has been robbed at least once, except us, because we have been vigilant. For crying out loud, if you think you must park in an area of which you aren't a resident, park in the street (if it is public, as some streets are in fact private), unless the homeowner gives you permission to use their driveway. It's SIMPLE common COURTESY, something most of you seem to lack. Some people are too damn ignorant, think they are better than everyone else (and entitled), and lazy.
TheBearded Cyclist Nowadays common sense is not too common. Common courtesy is almost non-existent too. Or it is one-sided. You are supposed to show them courtesy but they feel they do not have to reciprocate.
Luxury. I had to drag myself to school over broken glass with my one good stump. Over cliffs leaning towards me in both directions. When I got to school our teachers would shoot us. Then when we got home we were treated to a snack of sulfuric acid and carpet tacks before we had to go out and lick the road clean with our tongues. Then our mum and our dad would beat us to death every night. And you try and tell the kids today how hard you had it, and they won't believe you!
I came home one day and found an out of state cable tv truck parked in my driveway, he had the cones out and everything, I asked him why he was parked there and he said he could park anywhere he wanted to because his was a public utility company. I said the cable company is not public its private and so is my driveway. He by the way was working on my neighbors cable in the back of the neighbors yard. I told him he has a choice to make move it or I would have a towing company move it. After about 5 minutes he was gone and parked in my neighbor's driveway where he should have been in the first place.
A guy parked in front of my driveway, saying, when I asked him to move it, there was no car on the driveway, which was true, because I did not have a car at the time. He could have blocked my neighbor's driveway. That is where he was visiting. Move it or I will call the cops, I told him. He moved it.
@you who The conversation is about parking on private property. What, about my comment, prompted you to ask if I sell dogs? What is the connection? I have never bought or sold any kind of animal. Did you forget to take your meds again? And, should I let the cops know you might want to buy "defective" dogs?
@King JamesIf anyone parks in my driveway they will be missing valve stems and they will have to tow their vehicle away on a flatbed, I'm patient and petty , I'll laugh about it for a couple days , so it's worth it
su u I have one parked in someone's driveway when I wasn't visiting them. After a traffic accident at direction of the investigating officer (all 3 of us were parked in that driveway). Definitely got the homeowners attention when she arrived I'm the middle of the investigation. Before that, I said the same thing. I neared that never is a long time. Yes the circumstances were extraordinary, but I was parked in someone's driveway without their permission.
John McLeod VII yes that is extenuating circumstances for sure and you were told to by the law. That's different than just doing it because it's convenient for you and in your case wasn't being disrespectful to home owner.
+Su U, but you miss the entire point here. John there was parked without the homeowners consent. A LEO doesn't have any more authority than a private citizen to enter a driveway, or to give someone permission to enter a driveway. The point is that extenuating circumstances exist. It's clear from the video that the city has failed to create an effective traffic/parking system, which is why someone feels the need to park there briefly. The reality is that poor city planning is to blame, and it has little to nothing to do with the guy parking. Something which often happens is that cities just don't care. They ban street parking, they have no building parking lots at their government owned facilities, and they just assume people will find some magic parking somewhere. In reality, there is no parking.
@@catlover1986 I understand that but where I'm from if the city doesn't provide we just pull up to curb even if blocking traffic and walk our kids to school door then leave. A lot of times it causes the city to come up with solution and those who know that there is a school there with this problem and don't like the traffic jam so to speak, well they take another route or wait. We just don't pull into people's private drives .
+Su U, I understand what you're saying, but then the question becomes why a driveway is taboo, but blocking a public street isn't. Where I'm from, people tend to be pretty flexible. After all, people have a right to use your sidewalk (which you are required to have and maintain here), even to stand there for hours. Why would the driveway be so different? In fact, the front part of the driveway is arguably city controlled due to how easements work in many states, including mine. We often have police in our driveways and people will ask them to move, and the police say "the entrance to your driveway, is OUR driveway", because the city has control to the sidewalk. Basically, if someone isn't actively damaging your property, or committing a crime against you, why concern yourself? Why block a street when you can not block a street?
I live close to an elementary school plus there are several bus stops for more schools on my street and every day durning the school year parents clog my street mostly waiting for the buses or their children to come from the school over the elevated crosswalk that keeps them off a very busy road. From about 2:30pm-5:00pm you can’t back out of your driveway because cars block it and use it to park behind your car and the road is so narrow with parents cars parked on both sides that it’s practically a one way street! Myself and the residents have gotten so mad that the start of each school year we call as many tow trucks as we can and have them wait on side streets for parents to leave their cars to go wait to greet the kids off the busses and crosswalk. Then it’s game on. The tow truck drivers have a field day hooking cars up left and right and towing them away. This past year the parents were prepared for us calling the tow trucks and called the cops instead to have the tow trucks leave them alone however it backfired epically. Cops ticketed the parents for blocking the driveways, and improperly parking cars on the road. The police really stepped up their game this year and as the year progressed the cars became manageable and peace has returned to the neighborhood. I think the school added more land and opened a large parking lot for the parents now.
These wonderful parents are teaching their children that the world revolves around them. I am a nanny and have picked up children from school and am appalled at stunts parents do when picking up their children. The lack of respect they show each other. Get there early, bring a book or time it that you get there at the tail end. What ever happened to common sense and mutual respect. Sad the example some adults are setting for our future generation. Driving safely in Las Vegas, NV January 29, 2019
I lived across the street from a high school and on game nights we would have people completely block our driveway. Made me so mad. Cops would only right a ticket and told me they or I had no right to tow!!! We would be stuck in our driveway for about 4 hours. Wtf if we had an emergency?
@@sunniesublime1 I used to live a block from the beach. I was a mechanic at the time. I would crawl under the car and release the transmission rod, then push the car into the street. If they had the parking brake on, I would cut the cable. I didn't care what happened after that. Usually the car would be towed by the town. And with the trannni in neutral, it made it easy for them. I also did this a few times for the neighbors.
Saw something like this on Judge Judy or People's Court once, where this chick always used to park (with permission) in her friend's driveway cause it was near the chick's work and so the chick wouldn't have to pay for parking. The friend moved without telling the chick, and the new people came home and saw a car they didn't know parked in their driveway. They waited for hours for the person to come back, didn't call the cops or a tow, but they had to park their car to go to an appointment and there was no on street parking, so they had no choice but to park in their OWN driveway, blocking in the stranger's car parked there. The chick gets back from work, BREAKS INTO THE HOUSE, grabs a spare car key, moves the car, gets her car out, moves the car back in the driveway and drives away, AND, to be even more of an ass, deliberately moves stuff around in the home so that the family will know someone was in their house. Then refused to admit it for over a year, even though she knew that the family was scared to death that someone had been in their home. So they sued her and won!
pete smyth I really really have to find this JJ video now. I watch her show all the time, for years, and this video description doesn’t sound familiar at all!
To date I've had 71 cars towed from March 2005. Tow operator once brought me Vueve champagne: his kid was going to college and I was his best "referring customer". 😆😂✌💯👊😅
When I lived in El Paso, I lived near the airport. Someone parked in my driveway and then left for vacation or whatever. Left their car in my driveway to not pay parking. LOL, I had them towed. I asked the driver what happens, he said they send a letter to the address the plates are registered to. A daily fee is applied and after two weeks, if the car isn't claimed or arraignments made, it would be auctioned off. I don't know what happened. It sat in my driveway for two days before I realized they left town, so I flattened the tires before I found a tow company to tow at their expense.
you did all the right things...until you flattened the tires. Thats just adding insult to injury. Especially if the car goes to auction and the county/city has to pay for new tires. Those are tax payer dollars youre slashing.
i live directly across from an elementary school too. people pull in my drive all the time cause it's right across from the pick up area. i've started blocking them in when it's someone i've told not to do it and leave em stuck there for an hour.
Such a cute little troll. Try some new material. I've heard that and a lot of other things. Your comments are just comebacks a middle schooler would make.
I used to live across the street from an elementary school same problem. We would block them in. let the air out of their tires. had their cars towed. One lady almost hit my sister and my dog. My mom beat the snot out of her. But this was when people handled their own business and did the I volve the cops for every little thing.
I had a car parked in my driveway for a graduation party down the street from me. I pulled my car across the driveway and blocked him in. The guy knocks on my door and asked me if I could move my car so he can get out. I told him I was eating and I would move my car when I was done in about half an hour. 30 minutes later I move my car. The guy claimed he didn’t know it was a driveway.
Same thing happened to me I parked my car behind his and when he came knocking on my door demanding me to move my car the police was called and they got a ticket for parking in my parking space in front of my apt how dare they do that 😡
yesenia Singh Where is this? Because the police usually cant ticket people for parking on private areas/spots. Only thing they can get you for is reckless driving, hit and run and DUI.
Ezekiel Willerson Honestly, I rather have the guy charged the $300-$400. You see, I live in a big city with hard to find parking and I don't behave like a douchebag parking in other people's properties or blocking their driveways when I go around. Instead I drive around the block looking for a spot until I find one. There has been ocasions where it has taken me 30-40 mins just to find a spot. Why should others feel entitled to block my driveway instead of doing the same?
I live out in the country and every so often my neighbor has a party and it does not bother me that his guest park at the fenced area in front of my property . One day I came home and three cars were in my driveway.( My drive way is 150 feet long at 16 feet wide) Someone having opened my sliding gate to gain access to park. I had all three towed away. So at about three in the morning some fool comes knocking on my door. I stayed awake as it was a weekend. I asked the person can I help you? He inquired about his car. I guess he was the first to leave the party. I told him that a salvage company came and picked it up as it was left abandoned on my property with no note as to whom it belong to. Told him that I do not remember what salvage company it was, the ad in phone book said that they hauled junk and scrap metals. I ask him to leave. He made the mistake of refusing demanding I return his car. I called the sheriff via 911 explained the situation on the phone and said there is a hostile person on my property uninvited. I had him arrested for trespassing. My neighbor came over later that morning to apologize. I told him it was not your fault your friends parked there it was their fault and they paid for their foolishness. Surprising how sober a drunk gets when put into handcuffs. I did tell my neighbor that the three cars towed were towed to pick a part auto salvage and wrecking. Never had an issue with people parking in my driveway since and now when there is a party neighbors friends ask if it is ok to park in front of the fenced area. Never saw the dumbass again that went to jail for the night either.
So many parents don't let their kids walk to school because they say there are too many cars around the school. They say this without a trace of irony, failing to see that they, with their own cars, are creating the problem.
David Broughall legit though, the only time I got a ride was if I was sick and needed to pick up homework, or if it was -30 or more with black ice. Other than that I took the school or city bus, or biked.
Dogmaguy74 In front of your house? As in, on the street in front the house, which would be public? Not a problem. However, that's not what the content of this video shows, nor is it the context of papillon's comment. Both of which are about parking in someone's driveway, which is their private property. If you can't tell the difference then I don't know how to help you.
I get 3 to 6 cars parking on the side walk in front of my house blocking me off from pulling out.The weird thing? The drivers end up WALKING to the neighborhood on the other side of my house because its where the party is always held.
If they are on your property/or the property you are leasing AND they are blocking your way out : CALL THE POLICE AND HAVE THEM TOWED -- It is YOUR right.
We live in the mountains, the new neighbors had frequent swap meets and told their customers to park in the neighbors' driveways. I blocked them in and was too busy to move my 4 wheel drive for an hour or so. They don't park in my drive anymore.
Nah, see you don't actually threaten to shoot the people, that's illegal too. 1. You loudly remind them that you own a gun for protection from burglars & to go hunting. 2. You make a comment about how uninvited people on your property is technically trespassing, & you will call the cops to remove trespassers if you feel safe, but it would be an "awful shame" (do a sarcastic exaggeration of those 2 words) if someone were to be mistaken as a burgler & shot because you felt threatened. Make exaggerated sad face after. 3. For good measure, tell them you think there are stray dogs looking for food in the area because you've found big scratches that look like animal clawing on your vehicle before & had to pay for your paint to be fixed. The person now thinks you're gonna damage their vehicle & maybe shoot them, but you haven't actually broken a law by threatening them. 😈
Folks really think nothing wrong with some stranger parking in their driveway?? Tell me how and why this is ok?? It's not their property. 2, they just have to wait along with the rest of parents.
Mari Mayn: It's not a public roadway. It belongs to the home owner, as part of his land, the only peope who can park are the owner, the owners family, and friends, with the owners permission. One major factor, in most countries, is that your insurance only covers you for driving, and parking, on public roads and your own driveway. As that car had parked without permission their insurance isn't valid so any damage sustained whislt parked there will be down to the driver to pay for, the insurance companies will wash their hands of any liability.
Mari Mayn Well Watice R thinks people should politely ask the maggot to move his car out of your driveway. Many here would take a more aggressive but Watice doesn't have a pair so he would probably bring him a plate of freshly baked cookies to eat while he begs to get his driveway back.
Mari Mayn doesn't bother me. I even had someone block me in cause they were visiting my neighbor. If I'm just sitting on my couch playing final fantasy who cares what the world is doing.
It used to be that all car tags in Florida expired on the same date so the last day was a mad house. My brother lived a block away from one of the offices and he came home after an 18 hour day to find some one parked in his driveway. My bro had a BIG 4x Ford so he simply put it in gear and pushed the car down his driveway and behind his house and parked. He went inside, got a drink and sat on his porch and waited. Soon a guy was seen walking back and forth peering in all the driveways. Soon a cop came and my brother asked if they were missing a car. The guy wanted my brother arrested but the cop started to arrest the guy but my brother relented. Cop chewed the guy out good.
I'm regularly baffled by how inconsiderate people can be. How can they think it is ok to invade another person's PROPERTY like that? I had someone park their mini van in my driveway during the day and when I came home it was still there. I started knocking on doors until I found the woman who did it (3 houses down). She said "It didn't look like anyone was home".... wtf WHO CARES? You don't live there, you don't pay my mortgage, you don't pay my taxes, you don't even know me and you think it is ok to park in another person's driveway? She looked at me like I was insane, flipped me off and stormed away.
This happen to us and when I called cops they said call a tow truck, so I did lol, party up the street four hours later the guy who parked in my drive way came out looking for his car, wife & I stayed up just to see his face I walked out and gave him the b.card of towing co. To get car back he had to pay towing $78 + storage fee $45 Lol much better than ticket,
James Crossland I would not have given him the location of his car. He knew he was doing wrong and did it anyway. Let those storage fees stack up as he is going through the phonebook or Google search, looking for the tow truck company who took the car or calling the cops to report it stolen.
I live downtown one block from a stadium. I have come home from work in the evening numerous times to find unknown vehicles parked in my driveway. My house and the neighbours are quite close together and the the only thing between them is my driveway. I park right behind the, leave a note on the windshield stating that I have parked and left for the evening so they can come back after 10am the next day to collect their vehicle. I also state that I have photographed their vehicle and license plate and should their be any damage to my property or they park there again I will have them towed. Generally they are fairly grumpy at first when they collect their vehicle in the morning. I then explain that I have done them a solid by not calling bylaw to have it towed which will cost them a minimum of $400.
In my neighborhood, if some one parks in some ones driveway and no one knows who they are? We go out and talk to em... with guns... Since most of our driveways are half a mile long... Don't start nothin' there won't be nothin'! We all know each other and the Sheriff is usually a good 2 hours away... Only good for taking reports IMHO...
I live near a school and parents are the worst drivers when it comes to picking up and dropping off their kids. Setting a great example for their kids that you can do whatever you want as long as you don't get caught!
Parking in the driveway isn't so bad. Back in early 1980s I woke up one morning and found someone had parked their Jag in my yard under my tree. It was a convertible, so i opened the door and got in it. Start honking the horn, going through stuff. The owner was visiting a neighbor came running out screaming about me stealing his car. I told him it was mine until he paid storage fees. Never saw the car again.
@@sexyhomeowner9345 Not so much. Parking is legal. Claiming that a car is yours just because it's there is a lie. Attempting to get them to pay you is legal, but attempting to keep the car in lieu of those fees is a crime called theft. There is no incentive for the car's owner to actually pay you. You'll need to sue if you're serious.
Justafirstname AndLast nah I have a 2 inch thick chain I put around the wheel and their mirrors with a combination lock. I sell the code for $40 and they always pay :) they tried cops before and i just tell the cops its not mine and so the cops cut the lock which damages the vehicle and they still end up paying in one form :) dont park on my property
@@claytonreed5153 You are so full of bullshit, in so many ways. Parking on your property is legal. You have the right to remove the vehicle. Any damage that occurs to the vehicle while it is on your property is YOUR liability. Feel free to read the law.
@Uncle Rico There is no law against parking on private property in Australia. If there were, not even you could park on your own property. But you do. Because it's legal.
I can relate to this . Theres been a car parking on the side of my fence for a couple a weeks till they didnt get the memo . i decided to call in the cops and they discovered they were felons with stolen weapons in the trunk. Its better to be aware than to be sorry for.
Someone did this to me during a college basketball game. Had the car towed. Then smashed up a couple clear soda bottles and dumped the glass in the driveway. Owner of the Lexus pounded on front door at 11pm. Didnt answer, was sitting on neighbor's porch (with neighbor) drank a beer while he called 911, told them his car was stolen. When they arrived, I walked back to my house, told them what happened. He was arrested for treapassing. Cops laughed their badges of at the pile of glass and his arrogant stupidity.
+Phore Whoresman, yea nice story bro. Except that isn't criminal trespassing, you dumbass. You think the police would arrest someone for a minor misdemeanor offense, who drives a Lexus over your piece of shit driveway? They'd likely arrest you for attempted wounding for the broken glass. They aren't losing their jobs to a decent lawyer, they know where the safe ground is.
+Phore Whoresman. Your city is bizarre, actually. Not only did I confirm that police will arrest anyone, invited or not, who parks in a private residence during an event (there is no parking for non-residents, period). But you need a permit for your own residential street parking in several districts. Also, Eugene has apparently been sued and lost countless times for civil rights violations. I agree, it probably does happen in your city, but it isn't necessarily legal. We all know Oregon is a cluster fuck of a state anyway. My mom isn't dead, by the way. So she's not your type, a bit too much resistance and noise for you..
Bret you might want to learn a little bit in life before the mouth overloads the ass. i can have you arrested instantly for being on my property(criminal trespass) and all i have to do is detain you till they arrive. does not have to be posted. just you standing there,that's all. get out of mommy's basement and go learn about life.
+Phore Whoresman, I know you didn't say my mother was dead. I was implying that your type is dead people, due to necrophilia on your part, due to your limited options for sexual partners. Hence, my mother isn't really your type, although she may be in a year or two. (Keep your calendar open). As far as the city, it is insane. I also don't disagree that police are free to have illegally parked cars, towed away. I objected to the idea of arrest, which is pretty absurd in 99% of the country, but they apparently have special revenue laws in Eugene. I was pretty surprised going through the legal records, why would you guys want to live there? I live in Ohio. We have loose gun laws, loose parking laws, etc. We even banned red light and speed cameras at the state level because cities were abusing them. Now they can only have lights if an officer sits at the light, and signs off on tickets as they come in. VERY FEW cities are willing to do that, as they could just as easily pull people over and get more revenue (in Ohio, the tickets they can issue aren't points and have low fines)
+Bulaw b., we aren't talking "life", we're talking about "law" and I know more about it than you ever will. You say "criminal trespass", but you're sorely mistaken. "Criminal" trespassing requires various conditions to be met. It's actually "simple trespass", the remedy for which is to ask someone to leave. Failure to leave would escalate to criminal trespass at that point. Failure to follow posted signage is criminal trespass. Again, criminal trespass requires you affirmatively violate someone's property rights AFTER being adequately warned off. There is no such presumption in driveways (unless you had perhaps a 600 foot long driveway and someone pulled all the way up at 2 AM with no articulable reason for doing so). The question is reasonableness under the law. A normal person would not find stepping off a sidewalk or stopping a driveway to be trespass of any type, and no law codifies that it is, therefore it is not. Again, if you ask someone to leave and they refuse, that's another animal. You could have the police come and issue a trespass notice, and then it would automatically be criminal trespass anytime they return. You cannot detain someone, by the way. Detainment is ONLY for people caught committing felonies. It's not a felony, so you would actually be "kidnapping" someone, and they would be authorized by law to defend themselves. Not a good choice.
I remember when I came home from work on a Friday around 7pm. I saw that a cars were park around the all over the curbs because the neighbor from across was having a party. She had the nerve to tell her friend that it was ok to park on my families driveway next to my sisters car because it wasn't being used. When I came home I asked my dad who's car is this. He had no clue someone parked there. I knocked on the neighbors door and said that if this belonged to her friend that i need to park my car inside to please tell them to move it. She actually said "nah don't worry about it. It's ok we'll move it later." Lol I told her that's not her private property but my families private property. To move it now or I'll call the cops and the tow truck. She was actually trying to argue with me and I started calling the cops right in front of her and luckily some of her friends heard what was happening and told the person. Her friend moved it and got mad at her for not simply getting hin to just move it. He apologized to me and just went home when he saw that she was willing to get his car towed for an attempted to argue with me.
A lot of you didn’t read the description, the cop didn’t come because the homeowner called the police, all the homeowner did was ask the person to move, the reason the person parked in the homeowners driveway in the first place was because the police were looking for him for making an illegal maneuver while leaving the line at school.
I haven't had anyone park in my driveway, but a neighbor was parking in front of my driveway and blocking me in. No problem because I have a motorcycle and I can ride down the sidewalk until I can turn onto the street. Because I didn't like him parking in front of my driveway, I called the police, and he got a ticket. The next day he parked in front of my driveway again, I called the police, and he got another ticket. The next day he parked in front of my driveway again, I called the police, and he got another ticket. The next day he parked in front of my driveway again, I called the police, and he got another ticket. After four tickets in four consecutive days, he got the message. I could have had his car towed, but I would have had to stay home from work until the tow truck arrived.
Similar problem. I lived in London, in a large house split into six flats. I paid extra for the one off road parking space outside my front window. My street was the nearest to the station that was not residents only parking. I too had a motorbike but didn't see why I had to drive on the pavement so this guy could park blocking my entrance. He told me not to be a little s**t as it was a busy street. Told him I would have it removed. After that I bought an old mini for £200 and that was small enough to leave outside with room to get past on the bike.
I got a friend who had a similar problem with parents using his driveway to park in. He does not mind too much, if they use his drive to turn around in, thats ok, but to park and then walk to get their kids while leaving the car in his driveway is simply too much. so, since he drives a raised 4x4, I told him to cement a couple of blocks into the driveway... He now has a driveway with a few rounded off blocks, but no cars use his driveway anymore. We recon that has cost these people a small fortune in exhausts, and we think at least one engine block due to the oil. LOL
We had the ONLY driveway in a neighborhood near a university. The street parking was always full, we probably had one car a week towed away. Didn't even have to finish giving my address when I reported them!
I use to live next door to a school and some lady parked in my driveway so I parked behind her and went for a walk for a hour...the walk nearly killed me as did the lady who parked in my driveway.
I also live near a school. People always park in and across my driveways. Reported to the police and they suggested ignoring it because it's a good way to get a brick through your window at 12am at night and no proof who did it. However, they then turned up and booked a whole bunch of people throughout the neighbourhood so it didn't look like they'd be the target.
Panzerkampfwagen That is just cops that don't want to do their job and then not want to invesigate if someone retaliates. Coffee and doughnuts, sit in their car and watch the world go by until the end of their shift.
Panzerkampfwagen This video was recorded by a security cam. Let them throw a brick. I would be pressing charges and they wouldn't be throwing bricks. They would be throwing up in the showers in jail for at least 1 year as the inmates line up to pack his jaw.
I live right next door to an elementary school and have actually had a few cars towed from my driveway because we only had room for 2 cars and the stranger would take up my husband’s spot when he was on his way home! There’s no street parking and the large school lot tends to fill up early! Thankfully tow trucks come fast here especially when the car is on private property! You don’t get to park in someone’s driveway just because it’s convenient for you! Give me a break! This is not acceptable behavior it is entitled behavior! If you are old enough to drive you’re old enough to know what the consequences might be if the homeowner enforces them!
That's when you call a buddy and ask him to come over for a visit and be sure to park right up against the bumper of the car in the driveway. Then take a long walk somewhere for a leisurely lunch and maybe a movie.
There are people who block the entrance to my driveway often, it's really selfish and frustrating. One lady delivering for Postmates to someone else's house, parked half her car across my driveway and was parked in the wrong direction. When I politely asked her to move her car, she said no and called me crazy.
Reading a lot of these stories in the comments just confirms my belief that the perpetrator often doesn't get that he/she did something rude or inconvenient. Sometimes I find myself in a situation where I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't: no matter what I say or do, the other person cannot be defused or cannot/will not see that they are the perpetrator, not the victim.
I'm a parent of 3, and it frustrates me so much when other parents or gaurdians disobey the rules of student pickup and dropoff. All they are doing is creating more traffice, and increasing unsafe conditions. I'm hoping this guy learned, because I would hate for people to learn by injury or death of a loved one.
kids... there is a few thousand reasons right there. traffic around morning and afternoon commute. rules of what you can and cannot do on your own property because youre within 1500 yards of a school. Vandalism (if youre near a junior high or high school). i came up with these in literally less than a minute, took me longer to type this than think of it.
I drove a tow truck for 6 years. At a local state school there was always students parking blocking driveways especially at parties in the surrounding neighborhoods. I used to love getting those calls.
I used to live near a school (as in the school was at the bottom of the road), and someone parked in our driveway, my mum blocked her in, she knocked on the door and asked my mum to move her car so she could go home. My mum told her she was about to walk the dogs, so she would have to wait. An hour and a half later we came back to find she had gotten a taxi home. My mum was off for the weekend after that. But her car stayed put. The woman hat to wait till monday to get it back.
People have no respect for other people, or other peoples property. In the south this would have gone very different. Farm tractor towing car to middle of field is something that comes to mind
Simpler more elegant solution, if the owner isn't around. Take the core out of the valve stem. Lets all the air out of the tire, and then you can watch the fool trying to reinflate it only to have all the air come out again. Tools are pretty cheap on Amazon too. Though using a tractor or backhoe to relocate the car sounds good too.
@@sparkplug1018 The father of one of my friends had an even better solution. He owned a medium-sized manufacturing business, and when someone parked in his driveway and wouldn't move his car (relative of a neighbor), he called the plant and had them bring a forklift down. They got the forks under the offending car and simply lifted it. Then they went away for a few hours. Offender called the police, who said there was nothing they could do as it wasn't on his property and wasn't on the street.
call a tow trucking service. I lived. next to school people thought it was ok to park on my lawn for school function. when they came out their vehicles where gone I told them I had them towed away. they disrespect my property. they where mad. I didn't give shit
At a time all the residents ofFlorida had to renew their tags by the same date. My brother lived a block away from the tag agency and on the last day cars were parked everywhere including his driveway where a Mercedes sat. My bro had a BIG 4X pickup and after a long day at work he wasn’t in the mood to play. He put his truck in low and proceeded to push the Benz down the driveway and then parked and went inside. He got a beer and sat on his front porch. Soon a guy is walking up and down the street peering down the driveways but the truck blocked his view. When the cops were summoned Mike asked if they were looking for a Mercedes and told them where it was. The guy went berserk and wanted my bro arrested. Instead they wrote him a ticket and told him Mike could stay parked as long as he wanted and didn’t have to let him get his car back
The owner in the house had every right to call the police in this case. . . THINK ABOUT IT - - she did not know if the occupant of the car could potentially have had a gun or was perhaps mentally impaired &/or on drugs. Ask yourself why the driver didn't park at the end if her driveway & why did they pull up so close to the house? She didn't know the driver NOR their intentions. If she tried to confront, she may have wound up as another statistic. Look, listen & live people, don't be a potential victim.
At least the person didn't damage any property. I would not be comfortable with someone parking in my driveway though. I'd think they were up to something. I live in a remote area in the woods and hunters used to come park in my yard on my lawn and then go hunting in a wildlife management area (where it was illegal to hunt). A few times I had people on 4-wheelers decide to joyride on my front lawn and chase my dogs. When I told them to GTFO my property & leave my dogs alone, they flipped me off and continued trying to run my dogs over with their 4-wheelers. didn't stop until one of them got a tire shot out with an M-14.
When my son was a newborn and I had to get him inside, this moron parked in my driveway. I told him to move his car and he tells me he is waiting for someone and he will only be there for at most 15 minutes. I absolutely lost my mind. I told him that he better move his car immediately or he won’t have a car. He got the message and moved it.

All the entitled people of the world, doing what they want when they want, and so upset when others call them on that because the rules aren't for them.
Same with us. We live across from a large elementary school, & they'll park IN OUR DRIVEWAY, then argue that it's THEIR HOUSE when I came home! So, I parked behind her, & went inside. She couldn't get out; we have a huge palm tree in front, & she wedged further! Too funny!! She kept knocking on my door, screaming & calling me filthy names in Spanish, so even though I WAS going to let her out, I made a sandwich & sat on the porch laughing at her, drinking my sweet tea. She called P.D.; they said it's her fault & left! I didn't have to let her out. Good. Finally (after 2.5 hours) her husband came - what a nice guy!! He was decent, apologized, acknowledged she is a bitch, & said that's why he's considered divorce so many times over the years (told me quietly he had retained a lawyer & was going through with it this time, she is NUTS); he very politely asked me if I'd move, for him & the children. Why sure, I'd be happy to & I did! She drove off yelling, honking, waving the glorious 'bird of freedom' at me - I finished my sammich, shows over!! But...There have been several times I come home, someone is parked in my spot in front (perfectly legal), I ask (nicely) would they please pull up, go ahead & block the driveway while they're waiting, so I can park; 100% have been happy to!! I tell those people, "Hey, please feel welcome to park in front of our driveway any time, as long as you're gone before 6 p.m. when my daughter gets home from work" so they do!! We have so many really sweet people in Hollister... and a few arseholes!!!!
ONCE A CAR PARKED IN MY SPOT IN THE APT BLD, I TOOK A FLOOR JACK AND JACKED UT UP ON THE REAR END AND PUSHED IT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE HWY AND LEFT IT THERE. AND ONE TIME A HUGE UHAUL PARKED IN MY SPOT FULL OF FURNATURE, I HAD IT TOWED TO AN IMPOUND YARD. I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS.
I have a duplex and I rent one side. I am only in this house for about 3 months of the year. When the neighbors are having a party they frequently call me for permission to park in my driveway even though they know I am out of town. I always give permission and in return they always watch my house knowing I am frequently gone. Simple courtesy folks.
It must be the same the world over. I live in Brisbane Australia and I find parents of school age children doing the school pick up to be the most ignorant drivers of all. Such a sense of entitlement and completely oblivious how rude they are being.
I feel for you. I have a school right across the street, entitled people do this all the time at my house. Wife chases them off since neither the police or school will do anything about it. If they do it when I'm home I will just run a cable through some suspension parts and around a tree. Then when they want to leave, I will tell them sorry but I'm having your car towed, you parked illegally on private property. Definitely feel your pain. just wish one of them would do it while I'm home. Maybe a hobby for when I retire.
I must say that I enjoyed watching that slime bag get busted. I have a neighbor who regularly parks across the opening of my driveway, blocking me in. This has gone on for a decade now, and recently, after having asked him nicely every time I have caught him doing this, I had him towed. BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO BLOCK A DRIVEWAY where I live. The day I discovered this city ordinance I took care of business. He has not said anything to me since, but he also no longer blows me off. Also, he now tells his drunk friends to not block my driveway access. No one even parks in front of my house any more. I love it. Sometimes you have to bully a bully back a little bit to get them to back off. Great video, and I hope you never have to come home to find some creep sitting up next to your home. If you do, park them in with your bumpers almost touching so that he cannot leave. Then call the cops. Don't just chase them off. Turn them in. People like this guy have few redeeming human qualities. Treat them like they deserve. Good luck.
+C Wilkinson Really? That still makes no sense. What you just said to me is that a person will decide that the best option for themselves would be is to park their car in a strangers driveway farther away from the pick up point and walk the extra distance to the school to pick up their children and walk back to where their vehicle is trespassing and illegally parked on someone else's private property further inconvenience themselves and chancing having their vehicle towed rather than wait in their car at that the school as a normal person would be sitting comfortably in safety, with air conditioning and a radio? You're mad if you think that I or anyone here would accept that sort of nonsense. Ok, you meant to say no but you meant yes or meant to say up but said down or hot rather than cold. I get it. Ill make the adjustment. LOL.
Yeah, either that or he meant they could leave their car in their own driveway and walk to the school, get the kids, and walk back. But that would take effort.
Years back some a-hole parked in my parents driveway while I still lived there. There was a night time carnival up the road a bit and cars would always line the streets in legal on-street parking, but this a-hole parked in my driveway. I stole the battery out of his car and went to bed. Car was gone by the time I woke up in the morning. Never heard anything more about it.
Possible, but those guys usually stick to parking legally during morning/evening commute times. They then notice what houses are empty at what times. We had a lot of that in my old neighborhood, which is a big part of the reason I don't live there anymore.
HENTAI LORD criminals are actually a step ahead of the cops, that’s why there’s fraud and theft. Just the dumb ones get caught. There’s more people who have broken the law and gotten away with it than have been caught
I live near an elementary school myself and the parents do this type of thing all the time. I had someone literally park in my driveway before and leave their car there. My driveway is only wide enough for one car. I literally had to get it towed to park at my house.
Don't you just hate it when someone trespasses on your property and parks there without consent from the homeowner? Some people just feels entitled to park anywhere they want disregarding laws.
Neighbour a few houses down had a party one day, and the cars parked on the street, blocking in everyone's driveways. And I'm talking like 30 cars lining both sides of the street. Yeah, a lot of tickets were issued that day, some cars towed, and a lot of angry people because their party was ruined because of us, the neighbours.
Aleister Blacke In my older fan demure neighborhood, I knocked on EVERY DOOR down our street and behind us, explained that my 13 year old was having a Halloween party in our garage and asked kindly to be called if the noise was too much or any other party related problem. They were all very gracious about it, so after the party, all of he kids picked of every bit of litter up and down the street. ( it looked better after the party than before.) sometimes communication and consideration goes a long way. BUT THEN I’M NOT AN ENTITLED SNOWFLAKE!!!!
there's a difference between letting your neighbours know, and cars just lining the block, blocking everyone's drives so they can't get in or out of their driveways, people pissing in your bushes, beer cans thrown everywhere, fights, people passed out on yards, etc.
Aleister-I am a bit embarrassed to say that when Mardi Gras comes and people begin to block the drives and yards, I have, on occasion, made use of yellow crime scene tape and surrounded my property with it. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
@@docgumbo4979 I did that when I turned 18, told the neighbours that I'd be having a party and I hope there won't be any noise and I'll try to keep it down. His response? "You're turning 18! I'll be very suspicious if I don't hear anything! HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!" I think common courtesy goes a long long way, and as long as it's not often, I think most neighbours are understanding and more than happy to accommodate. But maybe I've just lived in decent places.
The elderly lady living next to me has parked in my driveway a number of times. She could park in her driveway or there is room on the street in front of her house. I live on the corner and can't park in front of my house the way the driveway is situated. After a long days work I came home and that lady parked in my driveway again. So I called a tow truck and had her vehicle towed. They said it would be $850 to reclaim it. I then parked my car in my driveway and went into the house. This was on a Friday and I was now settled in for the entire weekend. A few hours later the woman knocked on my door and said "Someone has stolen my car". I said "It wasn't stolen. It was towed to the impound lot and you have to pay $850 to get it back". She said "I don't have that kind of money to get it back. I am on a small pension and can barely buy food". I just shook my head and said "well grandma, i've warned you before not to park in my driveway" and slammed the door in her face!
I used to be obnoxious - not the loveable person I am today. I had a company car I parked in a marked (for that car) slot in a small garage under our office building. One day I came in and stopped. There was a car in my spot. I parked on the street, went up to my office, got a screwdriver, and took off the license plate of the offending car. I left a large note on the windshield telling the driver where to go to get his license plate back. A very embarassed man showed up in due course and got his plate back.Since stealing someone's plate is probably a felony, I told him the plate had fallen off and I - concerned for his welfare - had secured it and kept it safe for him. I never saw him again.
That just reminded me of something that happened several years ago when I was managing apartment buildings. This idiot parked in out lot (despite signs warning him not to) and told me he'd leave the car there as long as he pleased. I told him, fine, you do that and I'll remove your license plates and call the cops and report the car as abandoned. The look on his face was priceless, as was the fact that he never came near the place again.
The audacity of some people is beyond belief! It's the ME, ME, ME generation! They couldn't care less about what's right or wrong; they'll just do it anyway! 🙄😖🇬🇧
Cops used to back down into neighbors barn to hide for speeder’s. He came home from work at midnight cops pulled him over gave him a ticket for taillight out. Before they got to his barn . Cops parked in his barn he drove around corner a mile, got his tractor parked it in his barn drive and walked away cop car sat there until 12:00 the next day when sheriff apologized and thru ticket out and officers were trespassed from hunting on his 600 acres they found out it would have been better to give him a fix it
A friend of mine said that her aunt always had a similar issue. She had a massive drive way that looped, and was in front of a school, can't remember what kind. One day her husband my friends uncle was feeling as if he could be having a heart attack. They got in the car but when they opened the garage doors their drive way was full of parked cars. She got out and threatened them all with murder charges if she didn't get to the hospital in time for her husband and she had camera's and had all their license plate numbers. Turns out her husband was fine it wasn't a heart attack, but the next school week she and her husband put up a sign that charged $5's every 30 minutes that was used to park in their driveway. It actually worked and were doing it for a few years when my friend told me about it. That was over 10 years ago, bet it's still going on.
I have cameras set up all around my house. its nice to see whats going on at home and in the neighborhood when your away. im working on buying a couple more to install inside the house.
Lakario, before you get cameras for the inside, remember what happened to Aaron Hernandes. I’m not saying you’re doing anything shady, but if you happen to dabble, the footage from the cams can be subpoenaed and used as evidence against you. If anything, just cover the points of entry, but not the living areas. You should be good with that. Have a good one, man.
Which cameras are you using I’m thinking of either going to Costco or harbor freight and buying me some cameras I have a ring but that only does so much it hardly captures motion
this happens in England too, especially near airports. One guy had a strangers car on his drive for a week while the owner went on holiday, and some weird law means if you touch it you end up in court. Go figure.
My neighbors guests use to park in my driveway all the time and would get an attitude when I tell them this isn't community property move your car. Another time a car was parked in front of my drive way when I came home with lots of grocery bags and had the nerve to tell me he'll be done in 20 minute and to park across the street. I said no the hell I wont move your mf car right now or I'm calling the cops and he got so angry but he moved.
The last one to park in my driveway came back to a mess. Both license plates were removed, front and back bumpers. By the time he came back , his car was in the middle of street blocking traffic with no tires. He was treated to an LA special car detailing. When cops knocked on my door, I had no clue anyone was illegally using my driveway. Told police not my issue and closed the door.
Where I live, someone had parked in my next door neighbor's parking area. He was all pissed knocking on my door loudly. We opened up and he asked us loudly to see if the car was ours and why are we parking in his area. We checked and it wasn't our car. While this is happening with him being all loud, we had a neighbor across from us that over heard. They were friends I guess and then the neighbor across was like "Hey, its my friend's car." So our next door neighbor tone changed to a quiet friendlier tone, and he was like "oh, ok, no problem. It's ok, they can park there." Pissed to... "oh, it's ok" Freakin @****** Nothing to do with this vid but I understand people not wanting others to be parking in their driveway.
There was some conflict going on between the guy in the black pickup across the street, and the trespassing Parker. They both arrive at the same time. The pickup driver gets out and walks back and forth watching the Parker. The Parker was scared to get out of his car and when he did he was on his phone immediately. Road rage incident ?
I had to tow at least 6 cars from a reserved parking spot I was paying for while living at my mother's in a trailer park. One night I come home after class and the guy is still at his car, so I went to confront him. Apparently, the atittude I have toward people illegally parking in the spot I pay a monthly fee for makes me an asshole, but the fact that he shouldn't be parked there in the first place is somehow irrelevant. Many people are self-centered assholes and aren't concerned with the needs of others.
Prior neighbor and I had side by side driveways, each over 120 feet long. She used to tell her company they could park in our driveway (instead of there's). Having cars towed is wonderful!
That happened to me once. I just parked my car behind him, got on the bus and went to the airport! Two weeks later when I came home the car was still there! When he turned up to claim it I charged him £50 for parking. The policeman who called when he refused to pay had trouble holding back his laughter! A prominent but unreacheable camera helped too! He did a lot of waliking those two weeks. The policeman discovered it was a company car that the man needed for his job! I wondered what he told his boss and if it agreed with what the police told his boss!
Epic.
Please tell me that you didn't already have the trip booked, you just decided to go for an epic response to the parking idiot.
Fifty quid for two weeks? He got off cheap.
Excellent.
By the time the cops would get to my house, the guy's kids would have graduated and moved on to another school.
Now that's funny... Lol
+James Simpson, once you trap a vehicle, you can't call it trespassing, as you are preventing egress. It's like store security grabbing someone, and holding them to be charged as trespassers, it's usually a losing bet.
I was wondering how the cop got there so fast too, but the description does say something about this person drove illegally at the school and was potentially hiding from the cop. So, that's why the cop showed up so quick, I guess.
LMFAO
Poor insane Scats Scats. Forgot to take your meds?
I used to be a school bus driver and the parents would park in the bus zone all the time. The Big buses would get revenge by double parking and boxing them in.
Sean Maher yep my mom was MY bus driver I remember the bs parents would do.
Shit, if I owned a towing company I'd be knocking on those homeowner's doors handing out cards and parking a fleet of trucks just up the road.
I did this once but I was going really quick because I new there was a bus behind me. Passenger quickly got out and I tried taking of straight away but the bus ended up double parking, blocking me in and causing a huge traffic jam behind him. I only did it because he had about 4 other free bus lanes right behind me and all the people jumping on the bus had to walk upto where I was parked. Anyway he noticed I was just trying to get in and out and not park there so he quickly regretted his decision and Just let everybody on for free lmao yw random civilians
Yup we do the same thing when it happens
@@eliteplayer6969 you were "really quick" yet totally aware there was a bus right behind you and still proceeded to use the bus lane? Mmm kay 🤔
I've come home to find people parked in my driveway a few times, I always just park behind them blocking them in. Then head inside and call a tow truck out. Once I had the owner knocking on my door yelling and screaming for me to move my car, so I calmly told him that I would happily move my car for the tow truck when it arrived, and if he didn't get off my property I would call the cops. He kept threatening me and carrying on even with the cops on the phone.
Long story short he was charged with several serious offences, a hefty tow/impound fee, plus court costs and damages.
Don't park in someone else's driveway folks
I actually found the letter, I don't know if you care, but you felt like sharing a story, I felt like sharing one.. Enjoy if you want:
Rob,
I do not know who left this note on my car; feel free to redirect this response to whomever did or authorized the leaving of this note on my car. For the record, I did not write the handwritten response on your note, nor do I know which fellow tenant of mine did. But I agree with them. The only reason I parked my car that way in the first place was because the lot was full and half of the lot was blocked by YOUR STRAIGHT TRUCK. Quite frankly, you have some god damn nerve to leave that note on my vehicle considering your inconsiderate attitude caused the situation in the first place. I work nights, in a warehouse, I come home after hours of heavy lifting, sweating aching and stinking, I don’t want to have to hunt for a place to park, I shouldn’t have to go find you to move the fucking truck.
Now I have lived here to date, 2 years and 2 months, and I have endured certain things, for starters yesterday was not the first time I have come home from work and found nowhere to park, granted its not always because of [business name redacted]'s truck, I admit that. However, there are numerous things I have dealt with over the past 2 years that usually trace back to the family members of somebody you keep in your employ. These things I have dealt with include having nowhere to park because of your employee’s family’s houseguests. I didn’t say anything last summer when there was another similar smartassy note left on our dumpster about being adults and cleaning up after ourselves. This note was posted not one week after I watched your employee bring an entire truck load of his personal trash and put in that dumpster the very morning it was emptied by the trash company.
I did not say anything when I was keeping trash in my apartment which potentially could attract vermin because the dumpster was always full because the neighborhood seems to think it’s a public dumpster. I haven’t said anything about the electronic shit that sits behind the dumpster that probably the EPA would take great issue with considering the mercury and lead that computer equipment contains that sitting out for months at a time exposed to the elements. I haven’t said anything about the roaches we’ve occasionally had to deal with, which primarily as someone who has an educational background in PC repair myself, knows how much roaches love computer towers, that’s where they keep coming from.
Several months ago, I had 2 books shipped via the postal service; somehow they were delivered to your store despite the mail carrier having access to the building. Don’t know where those books went, the postal service opened a case and swear up and down that GPS tracking the carriers use as well as their own notation say they were delivered to the store. That’s money I’m out. I didn’t raise a fuss about it.
I’ve had soda poured on my car; I’ve been woken up at 3am by the Jerry Springer episodes that take place frequently around here. I had a BB shot through my kitchen window 48 hours after I called the police regarding the aforementioned…. that I’m 99% sure based on trajectory points of the screen and a higher hole in the actual glass points down straight to that particular back yard. Incidentally, around the same time I noticed the hole in the kitchen window one my cats had a nick in his ear and dried blood, now I don’t know if one of my other cats did that, or if someone in that house or someone related to that house shot at one of my cats or not. I can’t prove it, but all of these things I tolerate, but I’m getting to the end of what I’m willing to put up with.
By the way, I rent a 2 bedroom, even though it’s just me, I have 2 parking permits, I only use 1. My stepbrother has several “beater” cars, I could take another spot if I so desired, I’m sure he’d lend me one.
Like my fellow tenant said on that note, we live here, you only work here. Keep that in mind, and while you’re keeping that in mind, do not ever put a note on my vehicle again, in fact keep your hands off my vehicle entirely. If you have any issues with me, direct them to [property manager's names redacted] I will do my absolute best to steer clear of you and you should do the same. I will have all packages from Fedex or UPS held for pickup at their terminals. If I do happen to miss one, please feel free to refuse delivery.
Cordially,
[my name redacted]
Apartment 8
Oh, just another side note and background, the likely justification for why they put that note on the dumpster was because that same employee mentioned in the letter. I was on my way to the doctor, I had a really bad case of bronchitis and pleurisy, it took 2 rounds of antibiotics to knock out, doxycylene didnt work, I had to go on Levaquin and prednisone- levaquin in particular has a lot of nasty side effects all on its own). The dumpster was completely packed, and I just said fuck it and put the bag in front of the dumpster (I had carried it down on my way out the door), and that employee of the store tried to argue with me about the trash bag. I could barely breathe, but I managed to get out a good loud "mind your own fucking business". If I was healthier at the time, it probably would have come to blows.
@@Nekulturny I feel you. I used to live in apartment complex, and it was actually nice before the neighbors from hell moved in. Each apartment had 2 parking spaces that are right at the front door. I lived by myself, and worked 2 jobs, so I wouldn't be home sometimes until like 3 in the morning. I had one car, but constantly I would get home, and have NO spot to park... In front of my own door... That I was supposed to have 2 spaces. I had to constantly bang on their door for their company to move their damn cars. They were straight trash, throwing their beer bottles and trash in my garbage bin(and I always would clean mine out and they let theirs stink up the area), and then what finally made me leave, was they brought damn roaches in the complex. At that point, I had to go. I loved that place too, but people just ruin everything, and they have no respect for anyone.
@@tenadefiant Yeah, surprisingly after I wrote that letter the computer store people went out of their way to kiss my ass, so it ended happily I guess. Even so, I ended up moving out rather than renewing for a 3rd year. I don't miss the place thats for sure.
I would go further, lift the car, and take all the wheels. Dangerous hood, you know?
We built a garage/carport at the back of my fathers house and after we left home he seldom used it but the neighbours living at the back started parking there with impunity- I told one of them to move and they refused saying there was no sign to say they couldn’t park there !! So we blocked her in. Some people have little respect for others property and will use ignorance/disrespect as an excuse
You get told by the owner and there is no sign needed.
Richard Evans at least you were able to build a garage/carport, one of my sister's neighbor tried to build a garage on his own property, the other neighbor next door got jealous of the fact that the neighbor was building a garage and that his own car would have to be parked out in the open so he took the matter to court and won the case even though the garage owner had prior council approval to build the said garage in the first place.
tolgahk84 did he appeal this decision especially as planning had been granted - sounds like the council cocked up or the garage exceeded its remit
Richard Evans last time i heard from my sister the neighbor was going through a significant legal battle to try and finish off his garage, the company which originally built all the houses in that area were constructed with driveways for each property and a pre-designated spot on each property in which a garage could be built, the company left it up to individual home owners to construct garages to try and save costs, and because no owner had previously decided to build a garage in that housing community the judge sided with the jealous neighbour in saying that a garage would "ruin the asthetic of the neighbouehood". It all just boiled down to one neighbours jealousy of another spending money on improving their own property and unfortunately in the country where my sister lives once such a case is lost in court then its an almost impossible task to regain permission to continue work. That said the garage was nearly completed, all the walls were up all that needed doing was putting up the roof and the garage door, he ended uo putting a tarp for his roof and uses it as a semi open car port so his car is still kind of out of the weather.
Richard Evans why would anyone need a sign???? It's his property.... This world is freaking insane.
I don't know what the law is where you are but if you put up a sign that says "parking space for rent $1000 per hour, by parking here you agree to pay the parking fee, minimal rental 4 hours" then if they park there you can bill them, sue for the rental fee and you will get it. I arbitrarily said $1000 above but you can claim any amount you want. We had a flea market across the street from where I used to live and invariably I would get home from work on Saturday morning and find someone parked in my driveway and a cop told me he could not do anything at all. The process for having the car towed takes about six months. I literally would never get to park in my own driveway. But then he told me that if I put up a sign like the one above, and I recorded when they parked there then I would be able to sue and collect. I didn't believe him at first but I made a sign announcing the $1000 per hour parking fee and minimum four hour rental for the space. I also added that by parking in that space the renter agreed to forfeiting their vehicle on the spot if the bill isn't paid. Sure enough my first customer pulled in my spot at 7 in the morning and I got home in 1 in the afternoon so he owed me $6000. So I parked my car in the street in front of my driveway blocking possible exit from the driveway. I waited in a chair on my lawn with a cell phone in hand until 5 in the afternoon making it a $10,000 rental. My video surveillance was had recorded the entire day so I could show it to the police. When the guy came to pull out of my driveway he started screaming obscenities. He wanted to know whose car was blocking his exit. I told him it was the person who owned the parking space he agreed to rent. He claimed he didn't agree to any such thing. So I showed him the sign which he claimed wasn't there when he pulled in. Then I showed him the video of me putting up the sign the day before. I told him I had him on surveillance arriving at 7. It was now five and he owed my a $10k parking fee for the day. I told him he could have his car when he paid the bill. He became combative. I called the police who came and the police told the gentleman that they could do nothing and that it was within my right to have the vehicle towed and that it was within my right to place a lien on the car for the parking fee which is what I did. The guy again became combative and so the cops arrested him. Then I called the town impound and ordered a tow. I pointed out the sign in my driveway, filled out the lien paperwork and the impound vehicle towed the vehicle out of my driveway. All I had to do was get the paperwork notarized which I since my neighbor is a notary. Since they had been parking in his driveway blocking him from pulling out he was happy to notarize the form for free. I filed a copy with the impound lot and another copy with the town code enforcement division and that was it. He was to get the car back when he paid the tow, impound fees and my lien. He sued me and lost. The car was worth $7000. He had to pay $5000 in his lawyers fees. He had to pay $2500 in my lawyers fees. He had to pay $1200 in court costs. He was ordered to pay my $10,000 parking fee and he still owed the impound lot. He refused to pay any of that so... I ordered his vehicle auctioned and got $7000 for it. I paid the towing and my legal fees and impound fees out of that. There was a little over $2000 left over after all of that. His lawyer ended up suing him and the court issued a bench warrant and put him in jail for contempt for refusing to pay court costs. The court ended up garnishing his wages. His lawyer ended up garnishing his wages. Since he still owed me $8000 I filed in court for a lien for that and additional court and legal fees on his home. Six months later he sold his house and had to pay me the balance of the $8000 out of the sale of the house because his buyer wouldn't complete the sale until he did or the buyer would have had to pay me. Either way I got paid, paid my income tax and cleared about $7000. The story made the local newspaper and every house on the street put up similar signs. Several of my neighbors also made some money off the jerks who kept illegally parking in their driveways.
A year after all this happened the flea market sent letters to everyone in the neighborhood requesting that they discontinue price gouging on our parking fees and saying that it was unfair to their customers that they should have to pay such ridiculous fees to park in people's driveways. About a dozen of us including me took our letters to the manager's office at the flea market and told him where he could put the letters. Then he threatened to sue us. We invited him to try. But we ended up going to the mayor's office instead and requested that the flea market's business license be revoked for creating a nuisance. The city code enforcement instead threatened to take the flea market by eminent domain and turn it into a town park and by state law they would only have to pay the owner a fraction of fair market value if it was turned into open space use rather than commercial. .
Another case, there is an elementary school next door to my former bank. Every week I would go there to transact business but one day I pulled into the parking lot and there was not a single parking space to be had. I pulled in line at the drive through teller and they told me that happens when school gets out and that I would have to come back another time. I had to access my safe deposit box and then I had to go to work so there was no other time. So I parked my car blocking the exit and went inside the bank to find not a single customer inside. At that point I said they need to prevent the school's parents from blocking access to my own bank or I would have to change banks. They claimed they could do nothing so I closed my account, removed the contents from my box and went outside to find about fifty very irate parents and two cops. I explained things to the cops and pointed out the signs prohibiting non bank customers from parking and told them I was the only person present with the right to be in the parking lot in the first place and that all the parents were preventing me from transacting necessary business at my own bank. The cops declined to issue me a ticket. So I left and never returned having closed my accounts. I drove past that bank at the same time of day a few weeks later and found the parking lot empty and parents double parked all up and down the street with about a dozen cops trying desperately to direct traffic. I later read in the paper that the school had closed it's rear parking lot which is where the parents used to park. They instead converted the space into a school playground leaving the parents no place to park so they flooded into neighboring businesses virtually shutting down the whole neighborhood for over an hour every day when school was in session. So what did the town do to eliminate the problem? They constructed the new middle school two blocks away on the same street and did it WITHOUT a parking lot and included in the plan that parent parking would be by street only. I moved out of state before that school was completed. My former neighbor informs me that traffic and parking is a nightmare every morning and every afternoon and that kids usually get home from school around five in the afternoon and that last winter some kids didn't get home from school until 7 at night.
If someone is blocking your driveway or using it illegally, you can usually blame poor town/city planning.
This is, without a doubt, the absolute best comment I've ever read! The more the story went on and became more ludicrous, the bigger my smile grew!
nunya biznez longest comment i have ever seen.
Your the kind of person I love reading about in the paper who are decapitated from car accidents.
did you feel kinda bad about the guy going to jail,I mean I wouldn't have since he took you to court basically making things worse for himself.
Reaginic Wolf Exactly. A bit over the top i think. The guy lost his home over it afterall. Seems a bit extreme to me but then again I wasn't there. Still feel a bit sorry for the guy if that was the outcome.
When I first bought my house after a major snowstorm I shoveled out my driveway and I went to the store and when I came back a dude parked in my driveway. Being new to neighbor hood I don't know anyone's cars yet. Hoping they were watching I looked in the windows for mail even pulled. Up on door handle. Had to call police, cause I now had to park down the street with groceries to carry up a snow covered street. As soon as the police car arrived my next door neighbor came out. I asked. Why he didn't use his driveway and he said because he didn't want to walk thru the snow since he didn't shovel it yet. Nice start for a neighbor relationship
You should have kicked him in the balls
Wicked, I would have loved to see the expression on your face after that answer. Pat
Seems like your idiot neighbor is the type to never return borrowed tools and probably still has some from the previous owner of your home. Edit: Maybe your idiot neighbor is the reason the previous owner moved out, lol!
hit the twat with the shovel
What is upsetting he saw you wanting to park instead he stayed inside the apartment instead of doing the right thing and remove his damn snow from his driveway. What a jerk!
It all boils down to having no regard or respect for other people or their property and it is all about "what suits and pleases me" and "what i can get away with". Unfortunately, the world now seems to be full of these type of people.
It's because all the concern for being PC in our social media and networking. The assholes are going to outlet everywhere else.
Few boxes of shells could help that problem.
+CrazyBear65, your name checks out. Crazy as hell. Someone parking on your property temporarily isn't even an offense, let alone one that justifies shooting someone.
If someone parks, and you don't like it, you can tell them to leave. If they don't leave, it's criminal trespassing. That's it. If you use violence, you are legally the aggressor, as it is INSANE to attack someone or threaten them with deadly force over being parked in your driveway.
+Nofreebeer. The problem isn't people or PC crap. It's terrible engineers in certain cities, with bad public planning policy. Basically, cities allow new areas to be built without planning for parking, and then it's simply a mathematical fact that a certain number of incidents will occur each and every day. It's literally unavoidable.
You can't legally drop your kids off to school super early (trespassing). You can't legally stop in the street (moving violation). You can't wait in line (fired from work). You can in some areas stop in a driveway legally (or it may be illegal in some jurisdictions). You are damned if you do, damned if you don't. There is literally no alternative, whatsoever.
I don't live in such a state, and wouldn't. But the reality is that I've been in major cities with terrible engineers and city planners, and unfortunately the traffic situation is Hellish. There's nothing to be done about that by a lone driver.
You still have to be audacious and lacking consideration to be parking on property that is not correlated to any of your daily activities. Still an issue of blatant disregard for other's property. Engineering is only part of the problem. It's called planning and scheduling on the parents part.
+nofreebeer, what part of "no choice" did you not get? There is no "planning and scheduling" for many people. They have a job, they have to be there, and there's no flexibility on the part of the job, or the school. You can't drop your kid off early in many places, you can't drop them off late (you go to jail), you can't miss work for even a few minutes or you're fired.
That's it. Sometimes maturity is accepting an imposition you don't like, because there's no practical alternative. If you are mad at the folks who are parking, then fire your city officials in the next election, and get someone competent.
Where I live, we don't have these issues. That is because it is SOLELY an engineering question. These problems only occur when you put a gun to people's head, and give them no choice whatsoever.
It's your property and you don't want strangers parking on it without your consent. I don't get why people hate you for it. Have these people no respect for other people's property?
Kat McGee Most of the people who hate this guy must have some form of mental retardation
If you have no self respect it’s impossible to respect others.
Having worked in a maximum security men's prison and also lived next door to a school, I can honestly say the murderers, rapists, bank robbers, drug offenders, and cop killers are so polite compared to parents at pickup and drop off.
Your nicer than I am....I would have called a tow company..
These people have no respect period. They need an educational ass-whoopin.

You miss the bad/drunk cops
I agree, I have guarded serial killers, and they aren't impolite. Assholes who road rage are the worst.
Kara omg, that’s hilarious! 😂
The guys in prison aren't so arrogant anymore. Parents though... they think the world revolves around them and their kids.
Wasn't a great prison if you're talking with murderers, rapists, bank robbers, drug offenders and cop killers all day getting in and out of cars. Good ones keep the bad guys inside. Face it, you only dealt with polite cops.
You got a cop to respond in 1 minute and 11 seconds. Gotta be a record of some kind.
Michael Lewis the time stamp in the upper right corner indicates it was six plus minutes. Still a good response time.
Cops usually stay around schools.
Richard Greene a
Richard Greene He probably had a fresh batch of donuts & coffee waiting for the cop to give him.
Michael Lewis Not a record. Must be an affluent part of town. Golf with the police chief on Wednesday, Bridge club every Friday with a Councilman and his wife. That is how the cops show up so fast.
A different story, but similar. I went camping in the Scottish highlands and misjudged my walking time to the next camp site. A heavy fog came down really fast and I got lost. I was tired and so thought, "Sod it, I`ll pitch my tent here." Put my tent up and went to sleep. Hours later I was shaken awake by this huge guy, who growled at me in a thick scots accent, "what the bloody hell do you think youre doing?" I replied, "Camping, what`s it to you mate?" he gave me a baleful stare, "I don't mind you camping, but not in my foking garden!" I looked out the tent and with the mist gone I realised that somehow I`d walked onto his huge front garden and pitched my tent without seeing his house a hundred metres away. "I`m sorry mate, I didn't see the bloody house!" he fixed me a look that went straight through me and for a moment I thought he was going to thump me. Then a huge grin split his features, "You`se bloody English are fooking crazy. Yee best come up to the house for a spot of breakfast." I had a real feast and a damn good laugh with him and his wife and daughter. They even drove me to the camp site later. Great people and a wonderful memory.
nice story
Good thing he wasn't another Jeffery Dahmer
Lol 😂 love the Scottish
Awesome! That is a heart warming story. 👌
I absolutely love how you put the accent in there lol fukin great
Came home from a long weekend to find a strange car in my single wide driveway. A good friend has a roll off tow truck, those come in handy sometimes. We towed it to a local grocery store parking lot and left it there, problem solved. Some dude did come around later looking for his car, I played dumb, told him I had no idea what he was talking about, hoping he didn't have a dashcam in the car, lol. Apparently he didn't because that was the last I heard about it.
You should have parked in a tow a way zone. Next to a hydrant or something like that.
To those of you who are criticizing the homeowner, perhaps you aren't old enough to realize that the driveway is the homeowner's property. Would you like it if some random person just parked their vehicle in your driveway, especially if it's a 1-2 car driveway? Probably not. Unless I know you, I don't want you parking right next to my home. For all the homeowner knew at first, the guy could have been trying to break-in. He did the right thing by confronting the man and then calling police. He didn't get all pissed off and start a fist fight. Everyone on our street has been robbed at least once, except us, because we have been vigilant. For crying out loud, if you think you must park in an area of which you aren't a resident, park in the street (if it is public, as some streets are in fact private), unless the homeowner gives you permission to use their driveway. It's SIMPLE common COURTESY, something most of you seem to lack. Some people are too damn ignorant, think they are better than everyone else (and entitled), and lazy.
TheBearded Cyclist those people that are bad mouthing the home owner, are probably low life rental losers
The Bearded Cyclist. Right on! You've got that in a nutshell. No common courtesy, and unfortunately, no common sense either.
TheBearded Cyclist ,
Liability might be an issue also. . .what if student trips and faceplants in your driveway getting to parents car?
TheBearded Cyclist Nowadays common sense is not too common. Common courtesy is almost non-existent too. Or it is one-sided. You are supposed to show them courtesy but they feel they do not have to reciprocate.
Luxury. I had to drag myself to school over broken glass with my one good stump. Over cliffs leaning towards me in both directions. When I got to school our teachers would shoot us. Then when we got home we were treated to a snack of sulfuric acid and carpet tacks before we had to go out and lick the road clean with our tongues. Then our mum and our dad would beat us to death every night. And you try and tell the kids today how hard you had it, and they won't believe you!
Running outside with a chainsaw and mask on usually solves this problem for me

I agree, that works, just don't do it naked... I learned that the hard way.
I came home one day and found an out of state cable tv truck parked in my driveway, he had the cones out and everything, I asked him why he was parked there and he said he could park anywhere he wanted to because his was a public utility company. I said the cable company is not public its private and so is my driveway. He by the way was working on my neighbors cable in the back of the neighbors yard. I told him he has a choice to make move it or I would have a towing company move it. After about 5 minutes he was gone and parked in my neighbor's driveway where he should have been in the first place.
A guy parked in front of my driveway, saying, when I asked him to move it, there was no car on the driveway, which was true, because I did not have a car at the time.
He could have blocked my neighbor's driveway. That is where he was visiting.
Move it or I will call the cops, I told him. He moved it.
@you who You in the market for one?
@you who The conversation is about parking on private property. What, about my comment, prompted you to ask if I sell dogs?
What is the connection?
I have never bought or sold any kind of animal.
Did you forget to take your meds again?
And, should I let the cops know you might want to buy "defective" dogs?
what a moron
@Howard Vanderwall ah another asshole I see every Street has one. The state cable person can park anywhere they want and don't need permission
I feel your pain. I live right next to an elementary school too and these parents dont care about anything but themselves.
@King JamesIf anyone parks in my driveway they will be missing valve stems and they will have to tow their vehicle away on a flatbed, I'm patient and petty , I'll laugh about it for a couple days , so it's worth it
What is wrong with people? It's common courtesy to respect someone property. I would never park in someone else's driveway unless I was visiting them.
su u
I have one parked in someone's driveway when I wasn't visiting them. After a traffic accident at direction of the investigating officer (all 3 of us were parked in that driveway).
Definitely got the homeowners attention when she arrived I'm the middle of the investigation.
Before that, I said the same thing. I neared that never is a long time.
Yes the circumstances were extraordinary, but I was parked in someone's driveway without their permission.
John McLeod VII yes that is extenuating circumstances for sure and you were told to by the law. That's different than just doing it because it's convenient for you and in your case wasn't being disrespectful to home owner.
+Su U, but you miss the entire point here. John there was parked without the homeowners consent. A LEO doesn't have any more authority than a private citizen to enter a driveway, or to give someone permission to enter a driveway.
The point is that extenuating circumstances exist. It's clear from the video that the city has failed to create an effective traffic/parking system, which is why someone feels the need to park there briefly. The reality is that poor city planning is to blame, and it has little to nothing to do with the guy parking.
Something which often happens is that cities just don't care. They ban street parking, they have no building parking lots at their government owned facilities, and they just assume people will find some magic parking somewhere. In reality, there is no parking.
@@catlover1986 I understand that but where I'm from if the city doesn't provide we just pull up to curb even if blocking traffic and walk our kids to school door then leave. A lot of times it causes the city to come up with solution and those who know that there is a school there with this problem and don't like the traffic jam so to speak, well they take another route or wait. We just don't pull into people's private drives .
+Su U, I understand what you're saying, but then the question becomes why a driveway is taboo, but blocking a public street isn't. Where I'm from, people tend to be pretty flexible. After all, people have a right to use your sidewalk (which you are required to have and maintain here), even to stand there for hours. Why would the driveway be so different? In fact, the front part of the driveway is arguably city controlled due to how easements work in many states, including mine. We often have police in our driveways and people will ask them to move, and the police say "the entrance to your driveway, is OUR driveway", because the city has control to the sidewalk.
Basically, if someone isn't actively damaging your property, or committing a crime against you, why concern yourself? Why block a street when you can not block a street?
I live close to an elementary school plus there are several bus stops for more schools on my street and every day durning the school year parents clog my street mostly waiting for the buses or their children to come from the school over the elevated crosswalk that keeps them off a very busy road. From about 2:30pm-5:00pm you can’t back out of your driveway because cars block it and use it to park behind your car and the road is so narrow with parents cars parked on both sides that it’s practically a one way street! Myself and the residents have gotten so mad that the start of each school year we call as many tow trucks as we can and have them wait on side streets for parents to leave their cars to go wait to greet the kids off the busses and crosswalk. Then it’s game on. The tow truck drivers have a field day hooking cars up left and right and towing them away. This past year the parents were prepared for us calling the tow trucks and called the cops instead to have the tow trucks leave them alone however it backfired epically. Cops ticketed the parents for blocking the driveways, and improperly parking cars on the road. The police really stepped up their game this year and as the year progressed the cars became manageable and peace has returned to the neighborhood. I think the school added more land and opened a large parking lot for the parents now.
wow well done guys
These wonderful parents are teaching their children that the world revolves around them. I am a nanny and have picked up children from school and am appalled at stunts parents do when picking up their children. The lack of respect they show each other. Get there early, bring a book or time it that you get there at the tail end. What ever happened to common sense and mutual respect. Sad the example some adults are setting for our future generation. Driving safely in Las Vegas, NV January 29, 2019
You deserve a million up votes. That's the best response to a situation like that
I lived across the street from a high school and on game nights we would have people completely block our driveway. Made me so mad. Cops would only right a ticket and told me they or I had no right to tow!!! We would be stuck in our driveway for about 4 hours. Wtf if we had an emergency?
@@sunniesublime1 I used to live a block from the beach. I was a mechanic at the time. I would crawl under the car and release the transmission rod, then push the car into the street. If they had the parking brake on, I would cut the cable. I didn't care what happened after that. Usually the car would be towed by the town. And with the trannni in neutral, it made it easy for them.
I also did this a few times for the neighbors.
Saw something like this on Judge Judy or People's Court once, where this chick always used to park (with permission) in her friend's driveway cause it was near the chick's work and so the chick wouldn't have to pay for parking. The friend moved without telling the chick, and the new people came home and saw a car they didn't know parked in their driveway. They waited for hours for the person to come back, didn't call the cops or a tow, but they had to park their car to go to an appointment and there was no on street parking, so they had no choice but to park in their OWN driveway, blocking in the stranger's car parked there. The chick gets back from work, BREAKS INTO THE HOUSE, grabs a spare car key, moves the car, gets her car out, moves the car back in the driveway and drives away, AND, to be even more of an ass, deliberately moves stuff around in the home so that the family will know someone was in their house. Then refused to admit it for over a year, even though she knew that the family was scared to death that someone had been in their home. So they sued her and won!
swordnquilstarskgrem. Chick chick chick??
pete smyth I really really have to find this JJ video now. I watch her show all the time, for years, and this video description doesn’t sound familiar at all!
I saw that episode.
I saw that episode. She later bragged to a mutual acquaintance about it and that's how they found her.
Chick ughh😕😕
To date I've had 71 cars towed from March 2005. Tow operator once brought me Vueve champagne: his kid was going to college and I was his best "referring customer". 😆😂✌💯👊😅
When I lived in El Paso, I lived near the airport. Someone parked in my driveway and then left for vacation or whatever. Left their car in my driveway to not pay parking. LOL, I had them towed. I asked the driver what happens, he said they send a letter to the address the plates are registered to. A daily fee is applied and after two weeks, if the car isn't claimed or arraignments made, it would be auctioned off. I don't know what happened. It sat in my driveway for two days before I realized they left town, so I flattened the tires before I found a tow company to tow at their expense.
Hey! A fellow El Pasoan! Did this happen in the Cielo Vista subdivision? I have a house that is a reasonable walk to the airport.
cruel but they totally deserve it
What cruel, same thing would have happened if he left it on street, so he got exactly what he deserved.
you did all the right things...until you flattened the tires. Thats just adding insult to injury. Especially if the car goes to auction and the county/city has to pay for new tires. Those are tax payer dollars youre slashing.
@@racingginger3147
Pffft.... whatever...
i live directly across from an elementary school too. people pull in my drive all the time cause it's right across from the pick up area. i've started blocking them in when it's someone i've told not to do it and leave em stuck there for an hour.
my mom has been dead since i was 12. try again bitch.
Esquire Taylor, you're so cute trying to troll these people. Get a life and grow up.
Such a cute little troll. Try some new material. I've heard that and a lot of other things. Your comments are just comebacks a middle schooler would make.
You're awesome hahaha
I used to live across the street from an elementary school same problem. We would block them in. let the air out of their tires. had their cars towed. One lady almost hit my sister and my dog. My mom beat the snot out of her. But this was when people handled their own business and did the I volve the cops for every little thing.
I had a car parked in my driveway for a graduation party down the street from me. I pulled my car across the driveway and blocked him in. The guy knocks on my door and asked me if I could move my car so he can get out. I told him I was eating and I would move my car when I was done in about half an hour. 30 minutes later I move my car. The guy claimed he didn’t know it was a driveway.
I wouldnt have even moved it
This! This here, folks! This is wonderful! Instead of being a jerk and getting someone charged $300-400, just do this.
Same thing happened to me
I parked my car behind his and when he came knocking on my door demanding me to move my car the police was called and they got a ticket for parking in my parking space in front of my apt how dare they do that 😡
yesenia Singh Where is this? Because the police usually cant ticket people for parking on private areas/spots. Only thing they can get you for is reckless driving, hit and run and DUI.
Ezekiel Willerson Honestly, I rather have the guy charged the $300-$400. You see, I live in a big city with hard to find parking and I don't behave like a douchebag parking in other people's properties or blocking their driveways when I go around. Instead I drive around the block looking for a spot until I find one. There has been ocasions where it has taken me 30-40 mins just to find a spot. Why should others feel entitled to block my driveway instead of doing the same?
I live out in the country and every so often my neighbor has a party and it does not bother me that his guest park at the fenced area in front of my property . One day I came home and three cars were in my driveway.( My drive way is 150 feet long at 16 feet wide) Someone having opened my sliding gate to gain access to park. I had all three towed away. So at about three in the morning some fool comes knocking on my door. I stayed awake as it was a weekend. I asked the person can I help you? He inquired about his car. I guess he was the first to leave the party. I told him that a salvage company came and picked it up as it was left abandoned on my property with no note as to whom it belong to. Told him that I do not remember what salvage company it was, the ad in phone book said that they hauled junk and scrap metals. I ask him to leave. He made the mistake of refusing demanding I return his car. I called the sheriff via 911 explained the situation on the phone and said there is a hostile person on my property uninvited. I had him arrested for trespassing. My neighbor came over later that morning to apologize. I told him it was not your fault your friends parked there it was their fault and they paid for their foolishness. Surprising how sober a drunk gets when put into handcuffs. I did tell my neighbor that the three cars towed were towed to pick a part auto salvage and wrecking. Never had an issue with people parking in my driveway since and now when there is a party neighbors friends ask if it is ok to park in front of the fenced area. Never saw the dumbass again that went to jail for the night either.
Why would a drunk pick up his car? That's stupid and dangerous!
You're my hero.
You’re my hero
Love you
The whole town and countryside probably knows you very very well!
So many parents don't let their kids walk to school because they say there are too many cars around the school. They say this without a trace of irony, failing to see that they, with their own cars, are creating the problem.
David Broughall legit though, the only time I got a ride was if I was sick and needed to pick up homework, or if it was -30 or more with black ice. Other than that I took the school or city bus, or biked.
The children are the problem. Not many people know that.
It’s fking parking it’s just parking 5yrs adults are stupid as heck.
Looks like 1,700 people regularly park in other people’s private driveways!
Is it wrong for people to park in front of your house?
It is if you're blocking their driveway, that's just absolute douchebaggery.
Dogmaguy74 In front of your house? As in, on the street in front the house, which would be public? Not a problem.
However, that's not what the content of this video shows, nor is it the context of papillon's comment. Both of which are about parking in someone's driveway, which is their private property. If you can't tell the difference then I don't know how to help you.
I get 3 to 6 cars parking on the side walk in front of my house blocking me off from pulling out.The weird thing? The drivers end up WALKING to the neighborhood on the other side of my house because its where the party is always held.
If they are on your property/or the property you are leasing AND they are blocking your way out : CALL THE POLICE AND HAVE THEM TOWED -- It is YOUR right.
Good for you! Its your property. The sense of entitlement people feel to do whatever they want never ceases to amaze me.
It's a sad world that we live in that we're forced to buy surveillance cameras to protect what's ours!!!!!!🤬
I ordered mine from GoGroopie but they never arrived but never got my money back !
and that alone is often not enough to do the job.

As my high school engineering teacher once said. "If you think the students are bad drivers, that's because you haven't seen the parents."
Lololololololol. Amen!
I live in the country.....people never park in our driveways......We have guns.
Yessir the good ole south
We live in the mountains, the new neighbors had frequent swap meets and told their customers to park in the neighbors' driveways. I blocked them in and was too busy to move my 4 wheel drive for an hour or so. They don't park in my drive anymore.
@1Man Army Sounds right to me. They deserve it. No respect for anyone so they get shot.
Nah, see you don't actually threaten to shoot the people, that's illegal too. 1. You loudly remind them that you own a gun for protection from burglars & to go hunting. 2. You make a comment about how uninvited people on your property is technically trespassing, & you will call the cops to remove trespassers if you feel safe, but it would be an "awful shame" (do a sarcastic exaggeration of those 2 words) if someone were to be mistaken as a burgler & shot because you felt threatened. Make exaggerated sad face after. 3. For good measure, tell them you think there are stray dogs looking for food in the area because you've found big scratches that look like animal clawing on your vehicle before & had to pay for your paint to be fixed.
The person now thinks you're gonna damage their vehicle & maybe shoot them, but you haven't actually broken a law by threatening them. 😈
check out these tough guys
Folks really think nothing wrong with some stranger parking in their driveway?? Tell me how and why this is ok?? It's not their property. 2, they just have to wait along with the rest of parents.
Mari Mayn: It's not a public roadway. It belongs to the home owner, as part of his land, the only peope who can park are the owner, the owners family, and friends, with the owners permission. One major factor, in most countries, is that your insurance only covers you for driving, and parking, on public roads and your own driveway. As that car had parked without permission their insurance isn't valid so any damage sustained whislt parked there will be down to the driver to pay for, the insurance companies will wash their hands of any liability.
Mari Mayn Well Watice R thinks people should politely ask the maggot to move his car out of your driveway. Many here would take a more aggressive but Watice doesn't have a pair so he would probably bring him a plate of freshly baked cookies to eat while he begs to get his driveway back.
Mari Mayn doesn't bother me. I even had someone block me in cause they were visiting my neighbor. If I'm just sitting on my couch playing final fantasy who cares what the world is doing.
Mari Mayn I feel skeevy even turning around using a metre or two of someone's driveway.
Ivy Ruonakoski same here!
It used to be that all car tags in Florida expired on the same date so the last day was a mad house. My brother lived a block away from one of the offices and he came home after an 18 hour day to find some one parked in his driveway. My bro had a BIG 4x Ford so he simply put it in gear and pushed the car down his driveway and behind his house and parked. He went inside, got a drink and sat on his porch and waited. Soon a guy was seen walking back and forth peering in all the driveways. Soon a cop came and my brother asked if they were missing a car. The guy wanted my brother arrested but the cop started to arrest the guy but my brother relented. Cop chewed the guy out good.
it's stories like this that make me consider getting a truck.
He should have pushed the car into the middle of the street!
I'm regularly baffled by how inconsiderate people can be. How can they think it is ok to invade another person's PROPERTY like that? I had someone park their mini van in my driveway during the day and when I came home it was still there. I started knocking on doors until I found the woman who did it (3 houses down). She said "It didn't look like anyone was home".... wtf WHO CARES? You don't live there, you don't pay my mortgage, you don't pay my taxes, you don't even know me and you think it is ok to park in another person's driveway? She looked at me like I was insane, flipped me off and stormed away.
Should've drag it to the middle of the street and have it towed
Same with porch thieves stealing your mail/packages, they need their @$$es beat with a wooden cane.
Should have had it towed. In Texas, all we have to do is call a tow truck.
More importantly, she does not pay your insurance. You know what she will do if she hurts herslf or the vehicle is damaged on your property.
This happen to us and when I called cops they said call a tow truck, so I did lol, party up the street four hours later the guy who parked in my drive way came out looking for his car, wife & I stayed up just to see his face I walked out and gave him the b.card of towing co. To get car back he had to pay towing $78 + storage fee $45 Lol much better than ticket,
EXCELLENT!!! *air guitar*
James Crossland I would not have given him the location of his car. He knew he was doing wrong and did it anyway. Let those storage fees stack up as he is going through the phonebook or Google search, looking for the tow truck company who took the car or calling the cops to report it stolen.
That's a cheap tow.
James Crossland what did he say?
Mr. CROSSLAND? I like Your solution!
People are so arrogant in this day and age doing stuff like that rather than just using using common sense. Glad he got busted.
all he's doing is trying to pick his kid up - the owner didn't have to be such a douche about it
at least in Texas that is illegal as well as immoral lmao i would have called the cops too
@@unfuzzy you think he knew he was fetching his kid? infinite possibilities of outcomes when someone trespasses property.
@@cloroxbleach9222 right. He could be fetching his kid or he could be casing the neighborhood.
kokolatte825 - what does it matter *waht* he's doing? the homeowner clearly had no need of his driveway at the time!
I live downtown one block from a stadium. I have come home from work in the evening numerous times to find unknown vehicles parked in my driveway. My house and the neighbours are quite close together and the the only thing between them is my driveway. I park right behind the, leave a note on the windshield stating that I have parked and left for the evening so they can come back after 10am the next day to collect their vehicle. I also state that I have photographed their vehicle and license plate and should their be any damage to my property or they park there again I will have them towed.
Generally they are fairly grumpy at first when they collect their vehicle in the morning. I then explain that I have done them a solid by not calling bylaw to have it towed which will cost them a minimum of $400.
Yeah good call. In some neighborhoods you get a guy parking in your drive then a burglary a day later.
In my neighborhood, if some one parks in some ones driveway and no one knows who they are? We go out and talk to em... with guns... Since most of our driveways are half a mile long... Don't start nothin' there won't be nothin'! We all know each other and the Sheriff is usually a good 2 hours away... Only good for taking reports IMHO...
I live near a school and parents are the worst drivers when it comes to picking up and dropping off their kids. Setting a great example for their kids that you can do whatever you want as long as you don't get caught!
Parking in the driveway isn't so bad. Back in early 1980s I woke up one morning and found someone had parked their Jag in my yard under my tree. It was a convertible, so i opened the door and got in it. Start honking the horn, going through stuff. The owner was visiting a neighbor came running out screaming about me stealing his car. I told him it was mine until he paid storage fees. Never saw the car again.
Epic xD
@@sexyhomeowner9345 Not so much. Parking is legal.
Claiming that a car is yours just because it's there is a lie.
Attempting to get them to pay you is legal, but attempting to keep the car in lieu of those fees is a crime called theft.
There is no incentive for the car's owner to actually pay you. You'll need to sue if you're serious.
Justafirstname AndLast nah I have a 2 inch thick chain I put around the wheel and their mirrors with a combination lock. I sell the code for $40 and they always pay :) they tried cops before and i just tell the cops its not mine and so the cops cut the lock which damages the vehicle and they still end up paying in one form :) dont park on my property

Parking on your property is legal.
You have the right to remove the vehicle. Any damage that occurs to the vehicle while it is on your property is YOUR liability.
Feel free to read the law.
@Uncle Rico There is no law against parking on private property in Australia. If there were, not even you could park on your own property. But you do. Because it's legal.
All the comments are more interesting than the Video.
Yeah I done read like 15
Hope you love this comment Big Ron, 7 months later but I'm giving you a shout out.
I honestly can't even remember the video at this point but that's not saying the video was bad... I often get lost in the comments after a video lol
I love the fact that it brings out the douche-bags to make their stupid remarks.
Some people have way to much time on their hands.
"I'm just waiting to hey my kid"
"then go wait in line for your damn kid like everyone else. "
I can relate to this .
Theres been a car parking on the side of my fence for a couple a weeks till they didnt get the memo . i decided to call in the cops and they discovered they were felons with stolen weapons in the trunk. Its better to be aware than to be sorry for.
Someone did this to me during a college basketball game. Had the car towed. Then smashed up a couple clear soda bottles and dumped the glass in the driveway. Owner of the Lexus pounded on front door at 11pm. Didnt answer, was sitting on neighbor's porch (with neighbor) drank a beer while he called 911, told them his car was stolen. When they arrived, I walked back to my house, told them what happened. He was arrested for treapassing. Cops laughed their badges of at the pile of glass and his arrogant stupidity.
+Phore Whoresman, yea nice story bro. Except that isn't criminal trespassing, you dumbass. You think the police would arrest someone for a minor misdemeanor offense, who drives a Lexus over your piece of shit driveway? They'd likely arrest you for attempted wounding for the broken glass. They aren't losing their jobs to a decent lawyer, they know where the safe ground is.
+Phore Whoresman. Your city is bizarre, actually. Not only did I confirm that police will arrest anyone, invited or not, who parks in a private residence during an event (there is no parking for non-residents, period). But you need a permit for your own residential street parking in several districts. Also, Eugene has apparently been sued and lost countless times for civil rights violations.
I agree, it probably does happen in your city, but it isn't necessarily legal. We all know Oregon is a cluster fuck of a state anyway.
My mom isn't dead, by the way. So she's not your type, a bit too much resistance and noise for you..
Bret you might want to learn a little bit in life before the mouth overloads the ass. i can have you arrested instantly for being on my property(criminal trespass) and all i have to do is detain you till they arrive. does not have to be posted. just you standing there,that's all. get out of mommy's basement and go learn about life.
+Phore Whoresman, I know you didn't say my mother was dead. I was implying that your type is dead people, due to necrophilia on your part, due to your limited options for sexual partners. Hence, my mother isn't really your type, although she may be in a year or two. (Keep your calendar open).
As far as the city, it is insane. I also don't disagree that police are free to have illegally parked cars, towed away. I objected to the idea of arrest, which is pretty absurd in 99% of the country, but they apparently have special revenue laws in Eugene. I was pretty surprised going through the legal records, why would you guys want to live there?
I live in Ohio. We have loose gun laws, loose parking laws, etc. We even banned red light and speed cameras at the state level because cities were abusing them. Now they can only have lights if an officer sits at the light, and signs off on tickets as they come in. VERY FEW cities are willing to do that, as they could just as easily pull people over and get more revenue (in Ohio, the tickets they can issue aren't points and have low fines)
+Bulaw b., we aren't talking "life", we're talking about "law" and I know more about it than you ever will.
You say "criminal trespass", but you're sorely mistaken. "Criminal" trespassing requires various conditions to be met. It's actually "simple trespass", the remedy for which is to ask someone to leave. Failure to leave would escalate to criminal trespass at that point. Failure to follow posted signage is criminal trespass.
Again, criminal trespass requires you affirmatively violate someone's property rights AFTER being adequately warned off. There is no such presumption in driveways (unless you had perhaps a 600 foot long driveway and someone pulled all the way up at 2 AM with no articulable reason for doing so). The question is reasonableness under the law.
A normal person would not find stepping off a sidewalk or stopping a driveway to be trespass of any type, and no law codifies that it is, therefore it is not. Again, if you ask someone to leave and they refuse, that's another animal. You could have the police come and issue a trespass notice, and then it would automatically be criminal trespass anytime they return.
You cannot detain someone, by the way. Detainment is ONLY for people caught committing felonies. It's not a felony, so you would actually be "kidnapping" someone, and they would be authorized by law to defend themselves. Not a good choice.
I remember when I came home from work on a Friday around 7pm. I saw that a cars were park around the all over the curbs because the neighbor from across was having a party. She had the nerve to tell her friend that it was ok to park on my families driveway next to my sisters car because it wasn't being used. When I came home I asked my dad who's car is this. He had no clue someone parked there. I knocked on the neighbors door and said that if this belonged to her friend that i need to park my car inside to please tell them to move it. She actually said "nah don't worry about it. It's ok we'll move it later." Lol I told her that's not her private property but my families private property. To move it now or I'll call the cops and the tow truck. She was actually trying to argue with me and I started calling the cops right in front of her and luckily some of her friends heard what was happening and told the person. Her friend moved it and got mad at her for not simply getting hin to just move it. He apologized to me and just went home when he saw that she was willing to get his car towed for an attempted to argue with me.
I don’t understand why they argue and make you look like the moron
A lot of you didn’t read the description, the cop didn’t come because the homeowner called the police, all the homeowner did was ask the person to move, the reason the person parked in the homeowners driveway in the first place was because the police were looking for him for making an illegal maneuver while leaving the line at school.
Ding ding ding!
I haven't had anyone park in my driveway, but a neighbor was parking in front of my driveway and blocking me in. No problem because I have a motorcycle and I can ride down the sidewalk until I can turn onto the street. Because I didn't like him parking in front of my driveway, I called the police, and he got a ticket. The next day he parked in front of my driveway again, I called the police, and he got another ticket. The next day he parked in front of my driveway again, I called the police, and he got another ticket. The next day he parked in front of my driveway again, I called the police, and he got another ticket. After four tickets in four consecutive days, he got the message. I could have had his car towed, but I would have had to stay home from work until the tow truck arrived.
Similar problem. I lived in London, in a large house split into six flats. I paid extra for the one off road parking space outside my front window. My street was the nearest to the station that was not residents only parking. I too had a motorbike but didn't see why I had to drive on the pavement so this guy could park blocking my entrance. He told me not to be a little s**t as it was a busy street. Told him I would have it removed. After that I bought an old mini for £200 and that was small enough to leave outside with room to get past on the bike.
I got a friend who had a similar problem with parents using his driveway to park in.
He does not mind too much, if they use his drive to turn around in, thats ok, but to park and then walk to get their kids while leaving the car in his driveway is simply too much.
so, since he drives a raised 4x4, I told him to cement a couple of blocks into the driveway...
He now has a driveway with a few rounded off blocks, but no cars use his driveway anymore.
We recon that has cost these people a small fortune in exhausts, and we think at least one engine block due to the oil. LOL
We had the ONLY driveway in a neighborhood near a university. The street parking was always full, we probably had one car a week towed away. Didn't even have to finish giving my address when I reported them!
I use to live next door to a school and some lady parked in my driveway so I parked behind her and went for a walk for a hour...the walk nearly killed me as did the lady who parked in my driveway.
I also live near a school. People always park in and across my driveways. Reported to the police and they suggested ignoring it because it's a good way to get a brick through your window at 12am at night and no proof who did it. However, they then turned up and booked a whole bunch of people throughout the neighbourhood so it didn't look like they'd be the target.
When I say reported to the police I know a couple of cops.
You're hilarious
Idiot! They were TRESPASSING his property. He has EVERY right to enforce his boundaries!
Panzerkampfwagen That is just cops that don't want to do their job and then not want to invesigate if someone retaliates. Coffee and doughnuts, sit in their car and watch the world go by until the end of their shift.
Panzerkampfwagen This video was recorded by a security cam. Let them throw a brick. I would be pressing charges and they wouldn't be throwing bricks. They would be throwing up in the showers in jail for at least 1 year as the inmates line up to pack his jaw.
I live right next door to an elementary school and have actually had a few cars towed from my driveway because we only had room for 2 cars and the stranger would take up my husband’s spot when he was on his way home! There’s no street parking and the large school lot tends to fill up early! Thankfully tow trucks come fast here especially when the car is on private property! You don’t get to park in someone’s driveway just because it’s convenient for you! Give me a break! This is not acceptable behavior it is entitled behavior! If you are old enough to drive you’re old enough to know what the consequences might be if the homeowner enforces them!
It'd be real fun if you were able to park behind him and they couldn't leave say until tomorrow when you go to work
I would of loved to do this, except I was already home and parked in my garage.
Yeah, but you could put up boards with nails in them. I will love to have someone try this on my property. I would never call the police.
Yeah, do that. Spread nails all over your grounds. It's such a good idea that even you can't park on your property.
He would cut through the yard with no problem.
That's when you call a buddy and ask him to come over for a visit and be sure to park right up against the bumper of the car in the driveway. Then take a long walk somewhere for a leisurely lunch and maybe a movie.
I'd just put the garden hose through his sunroof
Sea Level Cain and dogshit under his door handle
or a shotgun
Kyle Thomas Could always jack the car up and take the tires off then set the car down using the tires under the hubs.
@Timothy Bennett In your own driveway? Come on now, why escalate a situation into a most unnecessary civil war?
Austin Lucas I guarantee once they put their car back together. I bet I would not see the person again.
There are people who block the entrance to my driveway often, it's really selfish and frustrating. One lady delivering for Postmates to someone else's house, parked half her car across my driveway and was parked in the wrong direction. When I politely asked her to move her car, she said no and called me crazy.
Some of the things people do now leaves me speechless - appalling parking in someone else's driveway.
Reading a lot of these stories in the comments just confirms my belief that the perpetrator often doesn't get that he/she did something rude or inconvenient. Sometimes I find myself in a situation where I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't: no matter what I say or do, the other person cannot be defused or cannot/will not see that they are the perpetrator, not the victim.
I'm a parent of 3, and it frustrates me so much when other parents or gaurdians disobey the rules of student pickup and dropoff.
All they are doing is creating more traffice, and increasing unsafe conditions. I'm hoping this guy learned, because I would hate for people to learn by injury or death of a loved one.
I would never own a house near a school. This is just one of the many reasons.
kids... there is a few thousand reasons right there. traffic around morning and afternoon commute. rules of what you can and cannot do on your own property because youre within 1500 yards of a school. Vandalism (if youre near a junior high or high school). i came up with these in literally less than a minute, took me longer to type this than think of it.
if you live near a high school be prepared for break-ins during the lunch hour
Thats The truth Ive been broken in several times
I've lived a block away from a high school for about 8 years and we never had a break in
Ha...I hear that!
I drove a tow truck for 6 years. At a local state school there was always students parking blocking driveways especially at parties in the surrounding neighborhoods. I used to love getting those calls.
I used to live near a school (as in the school was at the bottom of the road), and someone parked in our driveway, my mum blocked her in, she knocked on the door and asked my mum to move her car so she could go home. My mum told her she was about to walk the dogs, so she would have to wait. An hour and a half later we came back to find she had gotten a taxi home. My mum was off for the weekend after that. But her car stayed put. The woman hat to wait till monday to get it back.
People have no respect for other people, or other peoples property. In the south this would have gone very different. Farm tractor towing car to middle of field is something that comes to mind
Simpler more elegant solution, if the owner isn't around. Take the core out of the valve stem. Lets all the air out of the tire, and then you can watch the fool trying to reinflate it only to have all the air come out again. Tools are pretty cheap on Amazon too.
Though using a tractor or backhoe to relocate the car sounds good too.
@@sparkplug1018 The father of one of my friends had an even better solution. He owned a medium-sized manufacturing business, and when someone parked in his driveway and wouldn't move his car (relative of a neighbor), he called the plant and had them bring a forklift down. They got the forks under the offending car and simply lifted it. Then they went away for a few hours. Offender called the police, who said there was nothing they could do as it wasn't on his property and wasn't on the street.
@@WilfBond55 That is a good solution, and id definitely go that route if I had access to a forklift. Must be hilarious to watch afterwards.
call a tow trucking service. I lived. next to school people thought it was ok to park on my lawn for school function. when they came out their vehicles where gone I told them I had them towed away. they disrespect my property. they where mad. I didn't give shit
At a time all the residents ofFlorida had to renew their tags by the same date. My brother lived a block away from the tag agency and on the last day cars were parked everywhere including his driveway where a Mercedes sat. My bro had a BIG 4X pickup and after a long day at work he wasn’t in the mood to play. He put his truck in low and proceeded to push the Benz down the driveway and then parked and went inside. He got a beer and sat on his front porch. Soon a guy is walking up and down the street peering down the driveways but the truck blocked his view. When the cops were summoned Mike asked if they were looking for a Mercedes and told them where it was. The guy went berserk and wanted my bro arrested. Instead they wrote him a ticket and told him Mike could stay parked as long as he wanted and didn’t have to let him get his car back
The owner in the house had every right to call the police in this case. . .
THINK ABOUT IT - - she did not know if the occupant of the car could potentially have had a gun or was perhaps mentally impaired &/or on drugs.
Ask yourself why the driver didn't park at the end if her driveway & why did they pull up so close to the house?
She didn't know the driver NOR their intentions. If she tried to confront, she may have wound up as another statistic.
Look, listen & live people, don't be a potential victim.
At least the person didn't damage any property. I would not be comfortable with someone parking in my driveway though. I'd think they were up to something.
I live in a remote area in the woods and hunters used to come park in my yard on my lawn and then go hunting in a wildlife management area (where it was illegal to hunt). A few times I had people on 4-wheelers decide to joyride on my front lawn and chase my dogs. When I told them to GTFO my property & leave my dogs alone, they flipped me off and continued trying to run my dogs over with their 4-wheelers. didn't stop until one of them got a tire shot out with an M-14.
i admire your restraint. if someone was trying to run over my pets, i'd aim a little higher than his tires.
Then what happened. They just drove off?
Well, you have far more self-control than me. My pets are my babies. I would not have been aiming for the tires of someone trying to run them over.
Poach the poachers
Ever heard of a fence? Just asking :)
When my son was a newborn and I had to get him inside, this moron parked in my driveway. I told him to move his car and he tells me he is waiting for someone and he will only be there for at most 15 minutes. I absolutely lost my mind. I told him that he better move his car immediately or he won’t have a car. He got the message and moved it.
All the entitled people of the world, doing what they want when they want, and so upset when others call them on that because the rules aren't for them.
Jack Hack Typical Democrats
I can’t believe the b2alls of this guy!!! Where was he going?? How long did he think you would board his car for him??? At hotels it’s $12.00 minimum.
Jack Hack q
We call those people special snowflakes
Same with us. We live across from a large elementary school, & they'll park IN OUR DRIVEWAY, then argue that it's THEIR HOUSE when I came home! So, I parked behind her, & went inside. She couldn't get out; we have a huge palm tree in front, & she wedged further! Too funny!! She kept knocking on my door, screaming & calling me filthy names in Spanish, so even though I WAS going to let her out, I made a sandwich & sat on the porch laughing at her, drinking my sweet tea. She called P.D.; they said it's her fault & left! I didn't have to let her out. Good.
Finally (after 2.5 hours) her husband came - what a nice guy!! He was decent, apologized, acknowledged she is a bitch, & said that's why he's considered divorce so many times over the years (told me quietly he had retained a lawyer & was going through with it this time, she is NUTS); he very politely asked me if I'd move, for him & the children. Why sure, I'd be happy to & I did! She drove off yelling, honking, waving the glorious 'bird of freedom' at me - I finished my sammich, shows over!!
But...There have been several times I come home, someone is parked in my spot in front (perfectly legal), I ask (nicely) would they please pull up, go ahead & block the driveway while they're waiting, so I can park; 100% have been happy to!! I tell those people, "Hey, please feel welcome to park in front of our driveway any time, as long as you're gone before 6 p.m. when my daughter gets home from work" so they do!! We have so many really sweet people in Hollister... and a few arseholes!!!!
ONCE A CAR PARKED IN MY SPOT IN THE APT BLD, I TOOK A FLOOR JACK AND JACKED UT UP ON THE REAR END AND PUSHED IT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE HWY AND LEFT IT THERE. AND ONE TIME A HUGE UHAUL PARKED IN MY SPOT FULL OF FURNATURE, I HAD IT TOWED TO AN IMPOUND YARD. I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS.
People these days are just so damn rude and arrogant.
2.5k people don't know the meaning of property values
Chonito Bonito , I think you mean property rights not “value”.
I have a duplex and I rent one side. I am only in this house for about 3 months of the year. When the neighbors are having a party they frequently call me for permission to park in my driveway even though they know I am out of town. I always give permission and in return they always watch my house knowing I am frequently gone. Simple courtesy folks.
It must be the same the world over. I live in Brisbane Australia and I find parents of school age children doing the school pick up to be the most ignorant drivers of all. Such a sense of entitlement and completely oblivious how rude they are being.
I feel for you. I have a school right across the street, entitled people do this all the time at my house. Wife chases them off since neither the police or school will do anything about it. If they do it when I'm home I will just run a cable through some suspension parts and around a tree. Then when they want to leave, I will tell them sorry but I'm having your car towed, you parked illegally on private property. Definitely feel your pain. just wish one of them would do it while I'm home. Maybe a hobby for when I retire.
Don Jones remove the valve stems on 2 of the tires, they will learn
greg E I like your suggestion most of all. Or, in UA-cam parlance. The mostest.
I must say that I enjoyed watching that slime bag get busted. I have a neighbor who regularly parks across the opening of my driveway, blocking me in. This has gone on for a decade now, and recently, after having asked him nicely every time I have caught him doing this, I had him towed. BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO BLOCK A DRIVEWAY where I live. The day I discovered this city ordinance I took care of business. He has not said anything to me since, but he also no longer blows me off. Also, he now tells his drunk friends to not block my driveway access. No one even parks in front of my house any more. I love it. Sometimes you have to bully a bully back a little bit to get them to back off.
Great video, and I hope you never have to come home to find some creep sitting up next to your home. If you do, park them in with your bumpers almost touching so that he cannot leave. Then call the cops. Don't just chase them off. Turn them in. People like this guy have few redeeming human qualities. Treat them like they deserve. Good luck.
This is awesome! Guy deserves everything he got. 👍
Seeing as how he had so much time to sit in your driveway he could have walked his children to school. Lazy.
+C Wilkinson He was picking the kids up not dropping off. Otherwise why would he go into someone’s driveway if he had dropped the kids off already?
ok - he could have walked them back then. It's exactly the same point I'm making. Obviously.
+C Wilkinson Really? That still makes no sense. What you just said to me is that a person will decide that the best option for themselves would be is to park their car in a strangers driveway farther away from the pick up point and walk the extra distance to the school to pick up their children and walk back to where their vehicle is trespassing and illegally parked on someone else's private property further inconvenience themselves and chancing having their vehicle towed rather than wait in their car at that the school as a normal person would be sitting comfortably in safety, with air conditioning and a radio? You're mad if you think that I or anyone here would accept that sort of nonsense. Ok, you meant to say no but you meant yes or meant to say up but said down or hot rather than cold. I get it. Ill make the adjustment. LOL.
Yeah, either that or he meant they could leave their car in their own driveway and walk to the school, get the kids, and walk back.
But that would take effort.
Whatever he meant it was 1. a ridiculous notion and 2. he didn't want to admit his assertion was at best, weak.
Years back some a-hole parked in my parents driveway while I still lived there. There was a night time carnival up the road a bit and cars would always line the streets in legal on-street parking, but this a-hole parked in my driveway. I stole the battery out of his car and went to bed. Car was gone by the time I woke up in the morning. Never heard anything more about it.
Looks like he is the look out for a crew burglarizing homes.
mark p thats what crews do. Welcome to reality.
Possible, but those guys usually stick to parking legally during morning/evening commute times. They then notice what houses are empty at what times. We had a lot of that in my old neighborhood, which is a big part of the reason I don't live there anymore.
well criminals are not very smart in the frist place if they where they would not be criminals so yeah very possible
Myles Yoshimoto yeah testing the area or neighborhood
HENTAI LORD criminals are actually a step ahead of the cops, that’s why there’s fraud and theft. Just the dumb ones get caught. There’s more people who have broken the law and gotten away with it than have been caught
We had some girls park in our business car park on a Friday afternoon. We lock the gates from Friday 730pm to Monday 6am......oops.
I’ve done that before as well. It’s a nice feeling.
I live near an elementary school myself and the parents do this type of thing all the time. I had someone literally park in my driveway before and leave their car there. My driveway is only wide enough for one car. I literally had to get it towed to park at my house.
nevadie133 Literally!
Don't you just hate it when someone trespasses on your property and parks there without consent from the homeowner? Some people just feels entitled to park anywhere they want disregarding laws.
You should not need laws for this. Common sense tells you that you don't park in someone else's yard without permission.
Neighbour a few houses down had a party one day, and the cars parked on the street, blocking in everyone's driveways. And I'm talking like 30 cars lining both sides of the street. Yeah, a lot of tickets were issued that day, some cars towed, and a lot of angry people because their party was ruined because of us, the neighbours.
Aleister Blacke In my older fan demure neighborhood, I knocked on EVERY DOOR down our street and behind us, explained that my 13 year old was having a Halloween party in our garage and asked kindly to be called if the noise was too much or any other party related problem. They were all very gracious about it, so after the party, all of he kids picked of every bit of litter up and down the street. ( it looked better after the party than before.) sometimes communication and consideration goes a long way. BUT THEN I’M NOT AN ENTITLED SNOWFLAKE!!!!
there's a difference between letting your neighbours know, and cars just lining the block, blocking everyone's drives so they can't get in or out of their driveways, people pissing in your bushes, beer cans thrown everywhere, fights, people passed out on yards, etc.
Aleister-I am a bit embarrassed to say that when Mardi Gras comes and people begin to block the drives and yards, I have, on occasion, made use of yellow crime scene tape and surrounded my property with it. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
@@docgumbo4979 I did that when I turned 18, told the neighbours that I'd be having a party and I hope there won't be any noise and I'll try to keep it down. His response? "You're turning 18! I'll be very suspicious if I don't hear anything! HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!"
I think common courtesy goes a long long way, and as long as it's not often, I think most neighbours are understanding and more than happy to accommodate. But maybe I've just lived in decent places.
The elderly lady living next to me has parked in my driveway a number of times. She could park in her driveway or there is room on the street in front of her house. I live on the corner and can't park in front of my house the way the driveway is situated. After a long days work I came home and that lady parked in my driveway again. So I called a tow truck and had her vehicle towed. They said it would be $850 to reclaim it. I then parked my car in my driveway and went into the house. This was on a Friday and I was now settled in for the entire weekend. A few hours later the woman knocked on my door and said "Someone has stolen my car". I said "It wasn't stolen. It was towed to the impound lot and you have to pay $850 to get it back". She said "I don't have that kind of money to get it back. I am on a small pension and can barely buy food". I just shook my head and said "well grandma, i've warned you before not to park in my driveway" and slammed the door in her face!
Why did she parkin your driveway when hers was next door; did you ever find out?
I used to be obnoxious - not the loveable person I am today. I had a company car I parked in a marked (for that car) slot in a small garage under our office building. One day I came in and stopped. There was a car in my spot. I parked on the street, went up to my office, got a screwdriver, and took off the license plate of the offending car. I left a large note on the windshield telling the driver where to go to get his license plate back. A very embarassed man showed up in due course and got his plate back.Since stealing someone's plate is probably a felony, I told him the plate had fallen off and I - concerned for his welfare - had secured it and kept it safe for him. I never saw him again.
steve morrill That's actually a really good solution. No violence, no property damaged, and you get to see who the guy is.
After removing the plate I would have simply reported it as abandoned and let the cops deal with it.
That just reminded me of something that happened several years ago when I was managing apartment buildings. This idiot parked in out lot (despite signs warning him not to) and told me he'd leave the car there as long as he pleased. I told him, fine, you do that and I'll remove your license plates and call the cops and report the car as abandoned. The look on his face was priceless, as was the fact that he never came near the place again.
The audacity of some people is beyond belief! It's the ME, ME, ME generation! They couldn't care less about what's right or wrong; they'll just do it anyway!
🙄😖🇬🇧
Cops used to back down into neighbors barn to hide for speeder’s.
He came home from work at midnight cops pulled him over gave him a ticket for taillight out. Before they got to his barn . Cops parked in his barn he drove around corner a mile, got his tractor parked it in his barn drive and walked away cop car sat there until 12:00 the next day when sheriff apologized and thru ticket out and officers were trespassed from hunting on his 600 acres they found out it would have been better to give him a fix it
A friend of mine said that her aunt always had a similar issue. She had a massive drive way that looped, and was in front of a school, can't remember what kind. One day her husband my friends uncle was feeling as if he could be having a heart attack. They got in the car but when they opened the garage doors their drive way was full of parked cars. She got out and threatened them all with murder charges if she didn't get to the hospital in time for her husband and she had camera's and had all their license plate numbers. Turns out her husband was fine it wasn't a heart attack, but the next school week she and her husband put up a sign that charged $5's every 30 minutes that was used to park in their driveway. It actually worked and were doing it for a few years when my friend told me about it. That was over 10 years ago, bet it's still going on.
Probably bad indigestion
I have cameras set up all around my house. its nice to see whats going on at home and in the neighborhood when your away. im working on buying a couple more to install inside the house.
Lakario, before you get cameras for the inside, remember what happened to Aaron Hernandes. I’m not saying you’re doing anything shady, but if you happen to dabble, the footage from the cams can be subpoenaed and used as evidence against you. If anything, just cover the points of entry, but not the living areas. You should be good with that. Have a good one, man.
It is illegal to film the neighborhood with your cameras. You can be arrested for that in all 50 states. Limit your surveillance to your own property.
Which cameras are you using I’m thinking of either going to Costco or harbor freight and buying me some cameras I have a ring but that only does so much it hardly captures motion
this happens in England too, especially near airports. One guy had a strangers car on his drive for a week while the owner went on holiday, and some weird law means if you touch it you end up in court. Go figure.
I bet his car smells like crap. That leaky sunroof wil cause all sorts of mold and mildew.
What would make you come to that conclusion?
If he'd done that in my drive I'd have been a kind man and washed the car for him, especially the roof! :) He wouldn't leave his car there again.
Or just run the lawn sprinkler. "Oh, jeez, sorry, guy...."
You make it sound like all sunroof's leak (which they dont)
Sure they do if they don't seal tight enough. Take a look at the shape of his sunroof. Doesn't look like it in very good shape.
My neighbors guests use to park in my driveway all the time and would get an attitude when I tell them this isn't community property move your car.
Another time a car was parked in front of my drive way when I came home with lots of grocery bags and had the nerve to tell me he'll be done in 20 minute and to park across the street. I said no the hell I wont move your mf car right now or I'm calling the cops and he got so angry but he moved.
The last one to park in my driveway came back to a mess. Both license plates were removed, front and back bumpers. By the time he came back , his car was in the middle of street blocking traffic with no tires. He was treated to an LA special car detailing. When cops knocked on my door, I had no clue anyone was illegally using my driveway. Told police not my issue and closed the door.
Where I live, someone had parked in my next door neighbor's parking area. He was all pissed knocking on my door loudly. We opened up and he asked us loudly to see if the car was ours and why are we parking in his area. We checked and it wasn't our car. While this is happening with him being all loud, we had a neighbor across from us that over heard. They were friends I guess and then the neighbor across was like "Hey, its my friend's car." So our next door neighbor tone changed to a quiet friendlier tone, and he was like "oh, ok, no problem. It's ok, they can park there."
Pissed to... "oh, it's ok"
Freakin @******
Nothing to do with this vid but I understand people not wanting others to be parking in their driveway.
19 self-entitled whiners thumbs-downed this video because they have no respect for other people's property.
OpiateX
Or maybe they think that a thumbs down on the video means "I hate that the guy parked in someone else's driveway!"
Thats Socialists for ya!
No its capitalists...remember....they think money solves everything.
Was he distroying it???? NO! so He was having plenty of respect.
John Robertson you are obviously a liberal idiot!
There was some conflict going on between the guy in the black pickup across the street, and the trespassing Parker. They both arrive at the same time. The pickup driver gets out and walks back and forth watching the Parker. The Parker was scared to get out of his car and when he did he was on his phone immediately. Road rage incident ?
I think he parked in the driveway to avoid the police for whatever reason but police found him. And the homeowners driveway isnt for anyone to park
Ding ding ding.
