Porta loo dumped on private parking space

Wasn't sure where to post this so sorry if it's in the wrong section.
Long story short...
Had a message from my neighbour asking if we are having work done on the house as someone has put a portaloo/kitchen on our parking spaces across from houses. We're not having work done.
Come home to find that, indeed, somebody had used our spaces.
Ive tried to number of the company on the side, but they're closed now.
Weve tried different neighbours but nobody knows anything or isnt admitting to it.
Is there anything we can do? We cant park our cars and have had to park quite a distance and they are on private land. Or is it a case of waiting until the morning?

You'll have to wait until morning. I'm not sure what other solution you'd expect. I'd imagine the company has got muddled up with a similar sounding street name. A pain but easily solved hopefully in office hours.

ask on your local Facebook page, sometimes gets a fast response if the company doesn’t want bad publicity

Probably sensible to wait until the morning. They do however move easier than you might think. Where you'd move it to is another matter

Portaloo/kitchen? Are you talking about a welfare unit?

@FlorenceBlack thank you, think neighbour has done that already but nothing has come of it yet
@Jan24680 yes I think that is what they are. Sorry wasn't sure what they were called

Can you and a mate not walk it off your parking space?

Is the word you were thinking of Portakabin?

Portaloo as in a toilet or a portacabin with domestic areas, kitchen, toilet, sitting area?

6 man welfare unit or armadillo. Bit more of an issue, but probably more likely to be moved faster in the morning.
