Random car parked on my drive!

dh has just come back from work and parked across the road. I asked why he hasn't parked on our driveway and he said he thought we had visitors.
I've gone out and there's a random car on our driveway! Knocked on neighbours door but they don't know who's it is. (They are really nice and we get on with them so they would have told them to move if it was anything to do with them).
AIBU to move the car and block them in?

Definitely block the driveway and then not be able to move your car because you have had a drink or 10 -- don't answer the door!!!

Now is the time you turn the lights off as if you've gone to bed Grin

Put an invoice on the car with a parking fine to be paid. Plenty templates on the internet.
Might make them think twice before being CFs again

I salute your diagram drawing skills OP

Imissmoominmama · 23/07/2021 22:43

I feel a bit sorry for them now Grin.

KindergartenKop · 23/07/2021 22:43

This should be in classics.

Who did they think was on holiday? Why does that make it ok to park there? Maybe you know them...

Ooh this could be better than the H bar thread.
What’s an H Bar?

Jokes!!!!

@UftUft

Not come back yet so I drew a picture of the crime scene...
Fantastic.

GATHER your evidence OP.

Close up sketch of their faces and clothing next please.

harverina · 23/07/2021 22:44

It’s 10.44! They’ll need to make a move soon otherwise you really will be in bed 🛌

ReginaaPhalange · 23/07/2021 22:44

This is absolutely classic Friday night entertainment!!!!!

Gentleness · 23/07/2021 22:44

Do you have any handy holiday gear? I'd be tempted to lounge out there on a sunbed with a huge cocktail and sunglasses....

harverina · 23/07/2021 22:45

I was going to go to bed but have decided to pour myself another gin and have some nibbles

ReginaaPhalange · 23/07/2021 22:45

I still stand by my suggestion of smearing chocolate spread under the door handles! They will be yelling "shit" then hahaha

Happyinheels · 23/07/2021 22:45

I'm sat in the pub and just looked for updates and did a SOL - a snort out loud. I've now had to explain to half the pub why I've SOL!
General consensus is split 2 ways - go to bed and other people are saying you're on a round the world trip. For 6 months.

ReginaaPhalange · 23/07/2021 22:46

Daily fail will be reporting this as breaking news soon!!

Terrazzo · 23/07/2021 22:46

Omg love this. What were they thinking! Why did they think you were on holiday? And if they were why would they be so sure you wouldn’t come back while they’re on your drive?? Hmmm they have a contact on the street who said it was ok I reckon!

MadeForThis · 23/07/2021 22:47

Answer the door and say you are the house sitter.

The owners parked their car before they went on holiday. They'll be back in 2 weeks.

You don't have the keys.

Brilliant Friday night entertainment Grin

Could you fashion a pay n display type machine out of something and place it at the end of your driveway? £5 for every 5 minutes?
