Yesterday I had my neighbor’s car towed out of my driveway.
First the scenario;
I moved out of that house in July. I lived there 11 years, they were there when I moved in. I’ve sold the house now and close on it in a couple of weeks. It has a one car garage in the back, facing his property. Between it and where his garage used to be is a spread of asphalt. Half mine, half his. On either side, there is enough room to park three cars. Two side by side up against the fence with one crossways along the alley in front of the garage.
This fool has four vehicles. He had to get rid of two others when he lost the garage. An old truck that I’ve seen running twice, both times to move it a few feet. A van that he’s been working on (brakes and something else) for something like four years. A much-vandalized, plastic covered junker, and a more reasonable car that is their every day car.
Normally, the Van is parked at a skewed angle, it’s rear bumper about 6-8" across the property line. I don’t sweat this.
But every bloody time I go up to the house to work on it or pick things up or whatever, I find this asshole’s car parked slantwise across the far back of my fucking driveway! in such a way that I cannot even pull my car off the alley!
Two times ago, I blocked him in, knowing he and his wife were preparing to leave, and pretended not to hear them knocking on the door and calling for me for about 15 minutes. Just turned on the Shop Vac and did something else. I hope they were late.
The last time, I roused him from his house and made him move it. I told him that while I probably wouldn’t mind if he parked there in a more reasonable manner, I didn’t appreciate the obnoxious way he was completely blocking my driveway. I warned him that I would have his car towed if he did it again.
Friday I go up to pull things out of the garage and the basement. There I find his junker car parked across the back of the driveway and they are not home!
So I’m there hauling shit out of my own garage around their piece of shit some-call-it-a-car and hauling things out my back door, around and over their car, to mine, which is blocking the alley.
I called the Police. They sent out a cruiser. Cop says he can’t do anything, call Wrecker Services. I call them, they have a truck out within 15 minutes, have the car loaded up and gone in another two. It will cost Larry $200 to get his junker back. If he has the money and if he cares to spend it on that car.
Sorry Dude, but You Asked For It!
