Hey All,

Just wondering what the proper procedure to follow when someone parks directly in front of your driveway. This has happened for the second time now- the first time I didn’t need to get out for a while so I didn’t do anything right away and they moved after a day, but now I will need my car tomorrow afternoon and am not sure the car will be gone.
Whose dealt with this before? Do you call the cops? A tow truck? Write a note on the window? Or try to sell it for scrap?

Both creative and realistic advice encouraged.

Thanks!

  1. Some neighbors DO NOT respond no matter how nice or firm you are. Some people are just plain STUPID! I’m in a situation where my neighbor is blocking 1/2 of MY driveway with his many cars and minivans. Not being able to park his 2 or 3 cars in front of HIS own house he is spilling onto my driveway and making it impossible for me to get out without going to ring his bell, or tell him to move when I see him in the street or like the other day when a friend of theirs came to visit and THEY TOO blocked my driveway, this time totally, I had to lay on the horn to try to get the owners attention because I didn’t know who belonged to the car at the time. THIS is a BLATANT DISREGARD for someone else’s property as the person CLEARLY KNOWS they are IN someone else’s driveway. It’s an absolute disgrace how selfish people are and how miserably they treat their neighbors. And we wonder why entire countries can’t get along.

  2. For start, I would leave a note stating to move the car since you need the driveway. Also be sure that your driveway is clearly marked and looks legal.
