Background: (I've made a few topics on this before but) Neighbor keeps parking in front of my garage. I use a wheelchair and can only get out through the garage, so I can't leave my house when this happens. I've left notes on the windshield, even managed to confront the guy once but he keeps doing it. HOA is aware of this, but the car isn't registered with them so they can't really do anything.

This weekend I finally had enough as I was trying to catch the bus, and my bf basically had to lift my 200+lb powerchair through the tiny gap left so I could get out. When we got back, I called the non-emergency line. A cute cop lady came out and said they can't tow it because it's on private property. It was late so I just let it go, and the car was gone in the morning.

He's back again today, so I thought I'd give towing another try. Called like 3 local places and they tell me they can't do it without authorization from the vehicle owner :) what the hell are towing companies for? What do I do? I fucking hate this guy so much. I'm considering trying to trigger the car alarm so he'll come out, but idk it's late

I did try the first one
I called the non-emergency line. A cute cop lady came out and said they can't tow it because it's on private property
Guess I could try again though

Nope, can't drive. Honestly I would let them use my parking space sometimes if they asked me first. But this sucks

They can't tow it because it's on private property? It's on your property and they don't have your permission to park there, right? How does thay make any sense? Do you live in a condo or something? Here in CA if someone else parks in my driveway I absolutely can call the police and they can ticket and tow the vehicle. Even if they are on the public street and just blocking my driveway, I can call the police and they can have the vehicle towed. They'll most likely go to the neighbor's house and tell them to move the vehicle. But they do have the option to ticket and tow.

I mean, if this was a video game, i'd throw paint stripper all over the car, slash the tires, put sugar in the gas tank, pour power steering fluid on all the rubber components, smash the windows, tail/headlights, and finally pour gasoline inside and set it ablaze.

But this isn't a video game, so I cannot recommend you do any of that, because it's illegal and wrong.

That would be horrible and illegal and not nice at all.

Just as horrible would be to dump mashed up prawn heads in their aircon intake vents. Please dont do that.

This. If you dont have a car that you need it for then put something to block entry to the driveway. Cones, saw horses with caution tape between them, an ikea bench, anything.

Dude, you'd be surprised. Some have pretty strict rules governing all sorts of shit. What flowers you can plant, what type of grass you can have, what color you can paint your house, whether you can have an RV or boat parked in your own driveway, restrictions on bird feeders. It's not inconceivable that an HOA would have rules keeping you from blocking your driveway with that sort of stuff.

Shame him on social media. Post a pic, your story, and his license plate number.

I would physically start damaging his car if it was me, personally. Just smash it with a baseball bat a few times every time he does it. Put some big ass dents in the side, make him not want to park there. If he calls the cops I'm sure they will be just as unwilling to help him as they were you. "Uhh sorry its on private property and there are no witnesses."

One would be better off giving a homeless person $20 to vandalize the vehicle. You never know who has cameras that might see what happened. A totally uninvolved neighbor with a well positioned doorbell camera could get you busted.

That would be utterly reprehensible and no law-abiding citizen could possibly condone it. However, doing so would have a benefit of being charitable. Not that that would be an excuse for breaking vandalism laws. No sir

But for a serious suggestion, call your local news station and see if theyll run a story about it. Also, contact your HOA and ask about creating a handicap parking space in that area, that way if he parks there, hes breaking an ordinance and can be towed or ticketed on that basis.

I would let all the air out of the tires, wrap it in caution tape, start taking pictures and put up a sign to not disturb the scene as you are prepping for a lawsuit.

No actual damage would be caused to the vehicle and it would probably scare them shitless.

This is a good idea. Just tell the HOA you guys plan to get a car and need that designated space.
