Sick of drivers bumping their cars up onto our garden, over new year I installed big fuck off rocks and painted them white.
Apparently this is not a big enough clue that it's private property and CorsaCunt has chucked them about to do what suits HIM, leaving a sodding great hole in the grass where the rock used to sit.
Sadly I had to leave for work otherwise I would have been staking the car out to confront the tosser.
Absolutely livid!

What a cheeky wanker. Have you sent a photo to your local councillor? When I was in London, they sorted out a double kerb for me to stop it

thats great and with any luck if he parks there again the birds will poop on his car Smile

HappyFlappy · 01/03/2017 19:18

Brilliant Fairfax

And if he does do it again that huge tub of vaseline will facilitate you jamming his head up his @rse where it obviously belongs

The rocks will look lovely and if you know any children perhaps they could draw some fairies etc and you could laminate them and stick them to the rocks so it doesn't look too deliberate that you are covering them with shiney sticky stuff

Maintaining that bit of grass really matters. Those communal areas need protecting. If one person parks on it, very quickly others follow suit, and you end up with really scruffy bald areas and deep tread marks. Grass has to be looked after.

I loveeeeeeee Glitter hehe
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for OP

My wicked thought of the morning-buy a few tins of cheap anchovies and pour the oil over the rocks.

FairfaxAikman · 02/03/2017 12:38

Vaseline glitter applied - to the "hand holds" on the rocks. And now we wait. Grin

Another suggestion n case he likes glitter, a potion called Cribbox, which you'd find at an equestrian shop. It's a grease that you smear on top of stable doors to stop horses chewing, and it is like a peppery, horrible taste if you get it on your hands. It's a nightmare to get off too.

ssd · 02/03/2017 17:38

superglue?

CoraPirbright · 02/03/2017 17:45

What an utter bastard. What did the police say OP? Sorry you were shaken up a bit.

AHobbyaweek · 02/03/2017 21:54

Any update??

FairfaxAikman · 02/03/2017 21:58

Well I haven't seen him back and the rocks are still in place. We shall see how the land lies in the morning

What is a factor?

80sMum · 02/03/2017 22:27

If it's very important to you that nobody parks on the grass, OP, perhaps you might consider installing a concrete bench.

Does anyone ever use the land as a garden, or is it just a bit of grassy space?

Bellabooboo · 02/03/2017 23:03

Put the rock back where it was. Don't worry about the car in-between.

FairfaxAikman · 03/03/2017 06:55

Astonished the factor is the representative of the company which manages all communal aspects of the estate.
We pay a fee each year and that covers maintenance of the grounds and building. It's not the same as a leasehold as we can change factor if necessary (it's just in the deeds that there must be one).

You can get garden edge wooden borders from £1 at home bargains or poundstrecher. They are about a foot high n u can get different lengths.

FairfaxAikman · 03/03/2017 07:30

Noenergy I posted a pic up thread. That flower border once had one of those fences. It's smashed to another rend by folk driving over the top of it.

Love the vaseline and glitter, make you keep applying in case he comes back next week Wink

EustaceClarenceScrubb · 03/03/2017 07:40

What is the weather like today? It is pouring with rain here and is forecast to do so all day. Surely if he parks on the grass and it rains all day the car will start to sink into the mud? He's in a Corsa not a 4x4 so he may not be able to get out again if he does park there. Maybe the rain is your friend today Smile
