Locked Parking Thread - The Actual End

This has been a wild ride made substantially more entertaining by DBs shenanigans but the end is in sight.

Hopefully by 8.35 the car will be free. I will be downing something alcoholic and next time the straw comes I'll make him bring it in by hand one bale at a time WITHOUT unlocking the gate!

I'm going to go for dignified and just let him out and convince myself that him moving it at all makes this a draw my victory. He no doubt will do the same and we'll both potter off happily into the sunset hopefully never to meet again!

Is it actually a normal towing company who will take it back to their pound for him to pay and collect or the FC coming to move it with a very large, beefy vehicle not especially designed for vehicle recovery, after which he will need a Luton van (and possibly a leaf vac) to take away all of the leftover parts?

RagamuffinCat · 03/08/2021 20:44

Can you contact the FC tomorrow and ask them if they are able to come and move it now?

Window1 · 03/08/2021 20:44

If the tow company come for 5pm but he turns up just before, will you still be charged?

DobbyTheHouseElk · 03/08/2021 20:44

He needs to put more effort in, if he can’t find a lift he can cycle there. We know his bike fits in the car.

BasicDad · 03/08/2021 20:44

Tow it to an unknown destination and geo cache about 50 clues to get to it.

harriethoyle · 03/08/2021 20:44

He is an absolute cockwomble of the HIGHEST ORDER

Spudlet · 03/08/2021 20:45

You know how eleventy million threads ago, someone from the States said they were amazed at how much we Brits could take before we shot someone…? I am starting to wonder if this guy might actually find that limit!

kensington09 · 03/08/2021 20:45

Book the tow truck for 3 o'clock tomorrow. Screw him, otherwise he'll think he can turn up just before 5pm. Whoopsie, must of been a mistake with the times Wink

Fernando072020 · 03/08/2021 20:45

Book the tow truck for 4pm, op. So it'll be gone when he turns up at 4:55 😁

KarlUrbansWife · 03/08/2021 20:45

FFS, we're going to need Thread 6, aren't we...?

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 03/08/2021 20:46

@DobbyTheHouseElk

Does he want his car back?
Clearly doesn’t need it!

This!!!!!!! @BlueEyesWhiteDragon

It's looking that way. Unless he is there now and BlueEyes is dealing with him
Firstbornunicorn · 03/08/2021 20:46

This is going to a 6th thread. I can feel it in my bones.

ButtonMoonLoon · 03/08/2021 20:46

What an inconsiderant, arrogant arsehole!
I’d turn your lights off, go to bed and get the FC to tow the car first thing tomorrow.

ShamelessCurtainTwitcher · 03/08/2021 20:47

Is there no criminal element in this village that can help? A local drunk who likes to steal scrap metal for recycling deposits? A band of Hell’s Angels with hears of gold? The Shelby Gang?

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 03/08/2021 20:47

I'm disappointed no one like my "Guess Who? With Ryan Giggs".

I missed that first time, but [clap]

Glumgal · 03/08/2021 20:47

@MarianneUnfaithful

Tell him to drop his keys through your letterbox and you will put the Ranger on the road and leave the keys…. Ummm…. on top of one of his wheels.
This!

Note on the gate with instructions - you waited as long as you could.

Bargebill19 · 03/08/2021 20:47

Know anyone with a forklift ? Leave it dumped up in the air it up a tree.

MotionActivatedDog · 03/08/2021 20:47

Yep. He will think he’s being so clever turning up 5 minutes early. Grin

This @BlueEyesWhiteDragon

Listen to @Fernando072020

Although not sure where it stands legally with saying the tow will be 5.

@RagamuffinCat

That's a good shout- tell them you're getting it towed at 5pm unless they want first crack at it, they might show up early doors and move it for you
dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/08/2021 20:47

Unfuckingbelievable!!!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 03/08/2021 20:47

Meant to preview that first as I didn't know the emoji code for applause and just guessed. Anyway, you know what I mean - have a dozen of them!!

OytheBumbler · 03/08/2021 20:48

I like the idea of leaving a note saying you waited but he'll have to contact the tow company tomorrow.
