Man in a car parked outside my house all afternoon

Since at least 2 pm. Terraces with on street parked so directly outside the house. He is has just been sat there all the time, engine on for half an hour then off again, presumably to stop the battery draining if he is using something electrical.

There are plenty of car parks in the area so no reason to be here. He saw my come back and go in the house so presumably its nothing to do with me, but its freaking me out a bit (and pissed me off as I had to park on another road!).

We are not on a road with shops or a school or doctors etc so no reason to be waiting there for someone for such a long time!

Worth taking the reg in case he comes back tomorrow do we think?

Public road police will not do anything because his not committing any crime.

id go out and ask him what he’s doing and remind him running a car engine while just sat there is an offence and if he wants to do that to go and do it elsewhere not in a build up residential area

Contact non emergency police and say I am concerned.

What would you do with his reg if he came back again tomorrow?

Take a photo and note his registration.
