CFNE Parking wars 2

[AlphaBites]

Starting this just in case :-)

Just as well it's quiet at work this week

I like the sound of your OH now.

If chains are cut, perhaps you could consider installing an alternative chain across the CFN's door.
Just a temporary one.

True ginger but they'll likely deny it and there will be no evidence it was them.

If the OP keeps reporting them, and keeps evidence of their nuisance, then they'd be the first suspects.

It's not it overly pricy these days to install a small cctv camera. We recently added one to the front if our house. We have an app which shows us anytime the camera is activated by movement on our property! They can be quite well hidden if you don't want people to know they are there too

@whatsleep One is being added later this week.

I think that is a good plan, Alpha, and will hopefully identify anyone trying to cut the chain.

Have you checked council for planning conditions yet?

whatsleep - what camera did you buy? Think I might get one.

ASLEEP I'll have to let you know later when duh gets home, Iv absolutely no idea!

Glad to hear your having one fitted ALPHA , try and have it fitted discreetly or high up though, it would be easy for someone to approach one from the side and remove it otherwise. We have a black cover over ours that's hidden next to a black wooden rood strut above the garage door. It's virtually invisible unless you know it's there.

I have a rather nasty rotty if you give me their address I can book her in - ob won't block your drive or park on it while dropping off. . She will put her off working with dogs and close her business for sure!!

You could start making appointments that no-one has any intent on showing up too!

The bloody cheek! I wonder whether your neighbour has told them to use your drive or if they have took it upon themselves?

Send him an invoice for service charge/drive maintenance x

I really don't understand why you don't post on the businesses social media pages. Your problem is with how the business is run. If it was an actual business premises not a residential building would you feel different? The quickest and easiest way to stop their customers parking on your drive is to inform them all over social media that they never have and never will be giving permission for their customers or staff to park on your drive. What that does to their customer base is their problem. You have been nothing but reasonable.

The business must be telling customers to "park on drive opposite". There's no way three people would just decide to park on a stranger's drive unless they thought it was ok

Parting shot from CFN was "OK, no more parking but clients to still drop off." AlphaBites Thu 27-Jul-17 13:51:05

Break you are correct, the CFN even told Alpha. That is why I wouldn't hesitate in stating the facts on the relevant social media pages.

If you post on someone else's face book page/business page, the owner of the page can simply delete it! I think.......

But if you post on your own page publicly and tag the business they can't delete it

Interesting......... must remember that 😬

And make it public so that people can share it!

I'm sat in my living room and CFN has walked past with their mutts and they have stopped and stared at the Fuck Off chain 🖕

Then CFN said to his wife
CFN : "What the fuck is that ? This is the reason why people have been late today, they can't park!"
CFN : "Can you move it ?"
Chain rattles
At this point I shout out the window

"What part of Fuck Off, this drive isn't yours do you not get ?" They both shat their pants and looked up in shock at the window to see me looking pissed off. They then scuttled off.

My car is staying home tomorrow and I'm getting a lift to work for the remainder of the week.

Epic!

Fucking hell @AlphaBites that's beyond cheeky. Pity you didn't video them doing that!!!! Please get cctv. I fear they will brazenly attack your property for their own ends without any concern for the law x

And a big fucking hahahaha to cfn you absolute cuntpuffin 😂

Good for you for standing up to them. I can't believe his brass neck. What part of 'private drive' doesn't he understand?

oh hahaaha! That's truly epic, Alpha - and now they get the message loud and clear! ha fucking ha - up yours, CFNs!!

Fantastic that you caught them saying that!
