Random car parked on my drive!

[UftUft]

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?

WTF that is outrageous. I would take couple of photos and report it to the police. Surely there has got to be some sort of trespass offence being committed??? You may even be able to find out the owner of the vehicle??

On that note, I would get your DH to move his car and block the person in.

Read the thread, it was last night. Or at least read all OP posts….

Did you not bother to RTFT before replying?

Told a friend (who used to be in the police) about this thread and she said that an incident like this would have been all round the station like wildfire because it was utterly bonkers. Two tits park on someone else's drive, didn't knock to ask if they could be let out, lied about that and then, when we (police) knock on the door, it's opened by someone out of Breaking Bad. And if someone off-duty saw the thread.....

True it's surprising the police went, but we don't know what other fibs Driver Of The Year told when calling in.

Maybe MN should add a feature where no-one can post on a thread that is more than 50 posts long until they have clicked on the 'see all' link in the OP and one minute has elapsed so they've made the most basic of effort to see how the thread has progressed?

[Kokosrieksts]

OP don’t take any shit from people asking why you didn’t move your car. The people that parked there didn’t actually knock on your door. That’s all they should have done “sorry, our friend said to park on the drive of your neighbors as they had an agreement, we made a mistake and parked on the wrong drive, apologies”.
They called the police instead. !!!!! You did nothing wrong OP and the entertainment value was brilliant.

Quick update... its slightly escalated...

Knock on the door, DH goes to the door in the hazmat suit, it was the police. I've snuck into the kitchen to update! I'm going to go rescue him... Will let you all know what happens.

INSPIRED!

There are not many MN put that give me a full-scale belly laugh, but this one made my sides hurt. OP, your DH is a keeper!

[MarieIVanArkleStinks]

MN posts, sorry, not puts. I'm not a golf widow - yet.

[clartymare]

Why didn't you just go out when you heard them so they could explain and then it would all be sorted out with minimum drama? I don't get mumsnet sometimes.

I think it's rather clear you don't get it 😆

Block them in and leave a note saying you've gone on holiday but will be back mid August.

Why bother commenting when you haven’t read the thread?

[AlfonsoTheMango]

Why bother commenting when you haven’t read the thread?

I know why - because sometimes posters are too lazy to read the thread but are not too lazy to post an opinion.

[GrasssInPocket]

Can’t be asked now

Apologies for going OT, but is that a polite way of saying you can't be arsed?

I've often wondered if this is a genuine mistake or an attempt to soften the expletive...

Great thread, OP - good thing I was sleeping downstairs last night because of the heat or would have woken DH up with all the sniggering, guffawing and belly laughs!

[sunshinesupermum]

Excellent thread UftUft Thanks for the laughs.

[NoLongerWantHugoToWin]

Guilty as charged.

[Yesindeedydoodey]

Ah. I've done this before. Went to visit friends; had arranged to park at their house, then walk up to the church hall to meet them there. I got the wrong house. Very embarrassing. I didn't realise till two hours later when we all got back from the church hall and, to my horror, people started walking through the front door of the house next door. Ulp. :(

Good to hear that the police have humans as employees that are capable of emotion and having a good laugh about something.

So my sister has just rung, BIL has gone into work this morning (hes police) and they are talking about the weirdos with the hazmat suit from last night... she asked if it was us.
I'm going to take them round some biscuits or something later, just to apologise for the weirdness.

I hope you told them the fuckers lied and never knocked. I’m appalled they called the police.

[TheSunShinesBrighter]

The posters saying they came out because of a 'drunk driving' possibility are way off the mark. These people were not driving anywhere. Their car was blocked in.

I guess people are saying this because it’s illegal to sit in the drivers seat of a car if you are drunk - even if you’re not going anywhere (you can’t move your car off the drive if you’re drunk).
