My sister had a night out with a female friend last week and parked her car at 7pm in her friend's cul-de-sac, full of detached houses costing 600k+. She parked legally in front of a neighbouring garden as there were no other spaces in the street, and picked up her car at 10 am the following morning to see a nasty gouge along the side ending under the back door handle. It was so obviously deliberate she burst into tears. An elderly man mowing his lawn next to her asked her what was wrong and she explained. He replied "What do you expect parking there?" to which she answered, baffled "What do you mean?". He then sais "Well I don't want to see a car there every time I look out of my window!". My sister was speechless, reported him to the police and was told there was nothing they could do without proof.Her friend then told her he is an awkward old man who hates anyone parking outside his house. What can she do in return??(that is within the law of course!)
