Parking on our drive.

[peaches1999]

We had a family day out today, and came back to someone parked on our drive. The car is still there. No sign of the owner.

Bloody cheek. Who does that?

Oh a good parking thread < rubs thighs>

Block them in, when they knock answer the door with a glass of tonic in hand (or wine) and say you'll be moving your car Monday at 8am.

This!

Block it in and then put PJs on and sleep masks on foreheads, nightcaps on heads etc. When they knock, appear outraged and mutter about nightshifts and beauty sleeps being interrupted.

OR pretend to be Icelandic. If they can't explain in Icelandic, you haven't a clue what they want you to do. Smile and mid benignly, muttering "Icelandic?" and then shut the door.

Grrr on your behalf. I'm precious about my driveway and would be hopping mad if I were you.

They may not have parked illegally bit the vehicle could still be abandoned. Keep us posted OP.

woohooo

Not place marking at all, nope love a parking thread though!

Very strange to park on someone's drive when there is ample room elsewhere. Are you sure no-one in your family gave someone permission to perhaps leave their car there when they went on holiday or something?

cracks knuckles Excellent! I love a good parking thread. And i would block them in with a note on the car saying 'This driveway belongs to Number **. Please call there when you want to remove this piece of metal'

I have done this as trademen like parking on my driveway behind my house because its easy to reverse onto.

Deflate two of the tyres? No damage caused, but very inconvient !!

*nod benignly

You can block them in on your own drive

Particularly if you can't drive because you've had a glass

However the last time this happened on Mumsnet it was a relative of theirs

You've blocked them in, good, now leave a note saying you are away until Tuesday and go out for the evening.

and keep your fans on MN informed!

Whopper

What !!!!!
I would spike my drive with one of those stinger thingies they use on police chases - what a bloody liberty < hoists bosom>

Sunday evenings entertainment sorted ..... Any update yet?

I'm just marking my place....and not ashamed to say so!

yay! love a good parking thread!

or get a lockable post put at the end

Ooh excellent! I love a good parking thread!

I need to know what's happening .

To be honest someone once left 2 horse on my drive before. They has escaped a nearby stables. Someone chases them off the road onto my drive. They then closes the gate and walked off. So this isn't the oddest thing I have heard.

Still want to know whose it is. I would call 101 and report and abandoned car

I've got the doritos out, anyone want one?

Definitely agree with PPs, I would definitely have had a drink n be unable to move car.

Cheeky barstewards!!

eagerly clicking refresh every ten seconds

I would just not answer the door. Make them wait until tomorrow or even Tuesday.

Horses !!!
