How can this be fair?

[Jenkibuble]

Sunday afternoon as I returned from a bike ride a car was in my driveway in front of my garage. As I was trying to get bike in through the back gate (next to garage) I asked him to move back or I would hit the car .
I also told him he could not stay as it was blocking my garage (my car inside !)
Monday , I go to work (bike) and return and the car is still there - back window is open.
Contact non emergency police. Upload pics of it . Told they will attempt to contact owner . Next day they text to tell me council need to sort it.
I phone the council , fobbed off with them not taking action as it is on private land not a road !
The DVLA are not intetrested despite it being untaxed (as it is on private land)
Council are now saying they will stick an abandoned sticker on it giving the owner 7 days to return.
Meanwhile, doors hve been opened, car ransacked , fuse box nicked etc. Not by me.
How is it fair that I have to incur the cost of getting it towed away ?

Do I -
Somehow move the car on to the street - council will deal with it then (do not know how as no manual handbrake - it is a button ) and will I be committing a crime then ?

Pretend I have an emergency and get the police involved that way ? If indeed they would !!!!!!!
RANT OVER !!!!!!!!!

The police should be involved anyway as a crime has taken place. The car has been stripped. I would phone the non emergency number say that you are blocked in and a crime has taken place. If they try to fob you off, say you will write to your MP about it.

Has a friend got a 4x4? Get them to drag it off the drive and the council will deal with it if it’s on the road.

This happened to a pal of mine and she paid a few neighbours in bacon sandwiches and tea to come and lift it off her drive. Funnily enough when they dumped it in the middle of the road and left it there the council were very prompt in removing it.

Let’s hope the viewers don’t want to check out the garage!!!

Is it taxed? You can check here:

If not then report to DVLA as an untaxed vehicle, and they are usually fair quick to clamp and remove it.

To those of you who have offered advice and empathy, I appreciate it. To those who have merely commented on the area I live / why I didn't risk challenging a stranger , I have no words !

I have pestered the council again and they have stuck a '24 hour notice to remove' sticker on the car. Car will be gone tomorrow !

How are you explaining to viewers that your garage is blocked in by a seriously vandalised vehicle @Jenkibuble ?!

The fact the council has stuck a sticker on it saying 24 hours to move unfortunately doesn’t guarantee that “tomorrow it will be moved”
