And we are supposed to be heading out to a new years party right now.
A neighbour of ours is having a gathering and I definitely think it belongs to one of their guests.
WIBU to nip round and see if they will move it so we can go out?

Why should you have to spend on a taxi? Bounce on it till the owner comes for it. Sod that.

Justmuddlingalong · 31/12/2017 21:21

My go to answer in cf parking threads is always the same... Dog shit under their car door handles.

MiddleClassProblem · 31/12/2017 21:22

Are you on friendly terms with any other neighbours who could use their car to bump the CF car along the road a bit?

fairgame84 · 31/12/2017 21:23

Thanks for sorting out my NYE entertainment OP.

I agree with PP. It does belong to one of their guests and they cba to move it.

I believe my neighbour as he has a goat driveway, plenty big enough for all his guests cars.

It could be the people who live in the naice house around the corner. But they've gone to Maui for the holidays I think.

Go back to original neighbor and ask if their party guests will help you lift it up the road. The wonder mightbsuddenly remember it’s theirs! Grin

Maui? Sure. Grin you gave it away too soon OP.

Makingahome · 31/12/2017 21:26

Go in and ask for help to lift it out of way. That would get the owner appearing

Lilmisskittykat · 31/12/2017 21:26

Call the olive get it towed as it's causing an unnecessary obstruction - then THEY can deal with it tomorrow Grin

SnowannaRainbow · 31/12/2017 21:26

Goats and Maui, you sure you're not winding us up OP Wink.

Tiredmumno1 · 31/12/2017 21:26

Seriously get yourself back round there, cheeky fuckers. Things like this really piss me off. Can you tell? Grin

Bloody arseholes Angry

Nicknacky · 31/12/2017 21:27

Regardless if it is an offence or not, there is zero chance of the cops coming out tonight in time for the op to make her party.

Tiredmumno1 · 31/12/2017 21:28

In my experience the police don't usually come flying round for something like this. They can however find the details for the vehicle and try calling the owner.

RainbowWish · 31/12/2017 21:28

Set off its alarm by bumping it with your bum. And owner wig appear if they think you are damaging their previous car.
You always call the police but I think they will be super busy Confused

RainbowWish · 31/12/2017 21:28

As in the 101 not 999.

Fucking Maui. It’s always Maui.

Thehogfather · 31/12/2017 21:31

Ditto the idea of getting the neighbours guests to all help carry it. Or do any have a car that could tow it with the handbrake on?

That is if you can't set the alarm off.

Stolenchoccies · 31/12/2017 21:31

dicks

Appleandcinnamon · 31/12/2017 21:32

Cashew I’m waiting for the alarm to be set of

WAITING

BattleaxeGalactica · 31/12/2017 21:33

Am I the only one who now wants a goat driveway?

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 31/12/2017 21:34

It’s a MN thing OP! Grin

Check if the doors are unlocked. If so, release handbrake and push it forward. Then put handbrake back on.
