To lock our bollard into place?

[ontheedgeofwhatever]

Someone has parked on our drive for the third time this week - I have no idea who they are as both times they've been there when I come back from the morning school run and gone when I come back from the evening one.

The last owners of our house installed a small bollard that can be pulled up from the ground and padlocked in place. It makes it impossible to get into our out of the drive. I've already left 2 polite notes asking them not to park on our drive. AIBU if I lock the bollard and go out for a few hours?

You'd better not be having dessert OP.......

I'm imagining it's the grandfather of the previous owner who has been driving for 80 years and didn't think the op would mind, and she let's him in for tea and cake.

It is five past six...

It's now past 6.00, something must have happened now?

Sitting on the train and hoping the OP comes back before I loose signal....

Maybe she is still arguing with the car owner?

Imagine the conversation: "I'll unlock the bollard after I've updated the situation to all my online friends........."

She's currently wrestling the driver to the ground whilst performing a citizens arrest...

It is past 6 now [impatient emoticon] come on OP!

We should have INSISTED on a webcam

Ok, I'm hooked now. I need to know!

goes off to start the ironing instead

"I'm unsure if I should let you off or leave your car on my drive overnight to really make you think about your behaviour, hang on and I'll ask the vipers"

We should have INSISTED on a webcam

I did suggest filming the car owner's reaction!

Oooh, I do hope that the cheeky sod is apologetic!
Way to go OP!

Bookmark...can't wait to find out result!

some of us have been waiting here for ages you know, OP.

This is better than a soap :)

She's better come back and report, I hope the parking twat isn't a loon!

Nooooo. Come back WellHello!

I've stuck dd in front of Curious George so that I can find out the outcome!

She's back at 6pm. She still needs to have the argument discussion with the car owner. I'm hoping he is a delicious rogue.

Come on OP. the kitchen looks like a bomb's gone off and the kids are smearing chocolate custard over each other's faces, but I NEED to know what happened...
