Caravan on driveway

216 replies

kelpie35 · 02/08/2021 16:56

I have just returned home to find a caravan parked on my driveway.
I have been away for 5 days visiting my son.
Can someone advise me what I can do to get it removed. I have no idea who it belongs to.

Crikey.
This is parking cheeky fuckery on a new level.
Countdown to the first post asking for diagram....10, 9, 8,....
Sorry though, no idea what I would do in this situation. 🤔

My goodness. This is CF parking on a whole new level! Has it got reg plates on? Maybe call the police and tell them and give them the reg. They may be able to trace the owner if they are so inclined.

I'd be getting it towed.

You need to get this moved to AIBU so that we can go into full on parking thread mode; but in the meantime do your neighbours not have any ideas?!

NerrSnerr · 02/08/2021 17:03

Have you knocked on your neighbour's door? They may know who it belongs to or have seen something.

SquirryTheSquirrel · 02/08/2021 17:04

Does it have a number plate?

Lucked · 02/08/2021 17:04

Do you know anyone with a towbar on their car?

LadyCatStark · 02/08/2021 17:05

Wow that is seriously CF behaviour!

LST · 02/08/2021 17:06

Definitely move it off your drive if you can! What a CF

Noshowlomo · 02/08/2021 17:06

Get it towed onto public highway and council can deal with it

MrsWooster · 02/08/2021 17:07

Caravans are like gold dust at the moment with all the ‘staycation’ stuff. Stick a wheel clamp on it and sling it on eBay!

KaptainKaveman · 02/08/2021 17:08

Jemmy the doors open and cook yourself a meal. Surely it's been given to you?

I agree, you'll get waaaaay more responses
viques · 02/08/2021 17:09

Wow, as one cf parking thread draws to a close another opens with a bang!

Puts on a pan of popcorn and rinses out giant teapot in anticipation .....

Disfordarkchocolate · 02/08/2021 17:10

Unless there is a wheel lock just move it off the drive.

YesIDoLoveCrisps · 02/08/2021 17:10

Put it on gumtree free to collector.

Thighdentitycrisis · 02/08/2021 17:10

Get this thread towed to AIBU

Legally, is it now yours to dispose of?
You could list it on autotrader or Gumtree

No! Better - put a for sale sign on it

Noshowlomo · 02/08/2021 17:10

I am happy about that too @viques !! :)

Thighdentitycrisis · 02/08/2021 17:10

@YesIDoLoveCrisps
Great minds

Didicat · 02/08/2021 17:13

Have they put a tow hitch lock on it or clamp? Have the plugged into your electric?

MySecretHistory · 02/08/2021 17:14

Where are you? One was stolen in York a few days ago?

DartmoorChef · 02/08/2021 17:15

Have you come home earlier than your neighbours thought? Was it delivered to the wrong address?

Have you actually knocked on a neighbours door yet to see of there's a simple (albeit cheeky) explanation?

TheAwfuITruth · 02/08/2021 17:16

Move over Locked Gates thread, there's a new kid in town Grin

MissCherryCakeyBun · 02/08/2021 17:26

Let's have a diagram.....pretty please It's Monday and this thread and a glassWineis just what I need

BedknobsNoBroomsticks · 02/08/2021 17:30

What's with all the cheeky fuckers and their parking on other people's driveways.
