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?

@saraclara

Seen him in passing but not really spoken. He seemed really nice, very embarrassed though.

Well. A slightly damp squibbish ending, buy at least it got resolved (and the police was an interesting, unpredicted twist). Guessing you live somewhere somewhat rural, if I rang the police about a multiple homicide they'd put me on hold round here.
Thanks for a great Friday night! Flowers

And just like that...only 3 hours left of my shift 😁 (I am working...honest!) Thanks for the fun!

As the police car drive away, one policeman said to the other “did we just stop a murder, or a sex game? They are weird out in the country”
Policeman 2 shakes his head and wonders how long until his retirement.

This might have the best ending of any parking thread I have read yet. DH in a hazmat suit answering the door to a police officer..classic

😂

Spray paint the front window glass.. I have two tins of yellow spray paint in my shed..

I can't believe the police turned up for a parking problem. If you had rang them saying you were being burgled, they wouldn't have cared shit.

OP seems to think they turned up because they were concerned there may have been drink driving on the cards - which should take priority over a burglary.

That was a good morning read! Comedy gold opening the door in a hazmat suit….

I don’t think you should have let it go on so long that it wasted police time

Hollyhocksarenotmessy · 24/07/2021 06:31

It's not her fault they very weirdly called the police.

I really enjoyed reading this

TheSunShinesBrighter · 24/07/2021 06:40

I want to live where you live!
Police arriving within 15 mins to free a blocked in car! Shock
Makes sense if it’s a tiny area.

How dare they say they knocked and you didn’t answer!

How is it OP’s fault? She said very early on that if they were to knock on the door they’d let them out. They didn’t. They got the police to knock on the door FOR them. Weirdos!!

Same here!

Very entertaining thread! Well done OP 👏👏👏👏

PrettyBlunt · 24/07/2021 07:00

I can't believe they lied to the police. The fact they phoned the police rather than just knock. What a bunch of pussies.

I've been blocked in before and the police have never come out to knock on my door. They have passed out on to the DVLA who phoned the owner of the car though...

Wow what a brill thread. Just catching up 😂😂

Akire · 24/07/2021 07:25

Can’t believe it!! Surely the right answer to them from the police would have been. No point in knocking if you have har no answer try tomorrow it’s late.
