This dude wouldn't stop parking on their property and making things a problem, so they turned it into an expensive place to park. This sounds like the kind of thing you can only do if you have a lot of patience and an extremely bored sheriff. When neighbors get into disputes, things can get ugly, like this neighbor who hammered nails into a fence and got their yard redecorated, or this guy who towed in pro revenge on his petty neighbor.

    Text - O r/MaliciousCompliance - Posted by u/TboneXXIV 2 days ago 2 2 3 You can't park there. Ok, you can, but it will cost you. oc M My parents had this problem with a guy parking a tractor trailer on their land. He lives right across from one of their pecan groves. The grove has well spaced trees all in neat rows, the grass is mowed super short, the ground is really flat. It looks like an ideal place to pull your rig if you don't know better.

    Text - The ground is so flat because they use mechanical harvesting. Bumps and grooves can cause the machines to leave pecans laying on the ground. A 2 inch deep groove from a big truck like that can hold thousands of dollars of pecans and will until it is fixed. Oh, and you have to get them up by hand. It's a big deal when someone screws with your livelihood like that. So the guy parks there one time. They get it, he probably doesn't understand he is causing so much trouble. Dad goes down, expl

    Text - Next Friday there is the truck again, same spot. Dad, not about to put up with this, calls the sherrif dept. Cop comes, truck moves. Dad fixes damage midweek. Next week, no truck. One week later, truck is back. Repeat complaint for trespassing to sheriff. Dude claims he forgot. He drives over the road and his home depot where his car is parked is 30 miles away. It is convenient for Dude to forget because he saves his gas and time by driving his employers rig and parking it on my parents l

    Text - Calls the sherrif yet again. The sheriff himself comes out this time. Truck leaves, sheriff comes to see my dad. Says the enforcement problem is that it is hard to explain to a court the harm when pictures hardly show any damage and Dude always apologizes and moves the truck when deputies come. Says getting Dude for trespassing under those circumstances is going to be tough but he is on this and will see it through for my parents but his office us 30 miles away, not that many deputies to

    Text - The next day, signs go up on 80 trees in a row (8000 feet, they are 100 feet apart). "Semi parking. $500/hour. Prepay. Violators will be towed." Dude doesn't pay the signs any mind. Dude does, however, pay the tow truck and deputy quite a bit of mind. Comes running and screaming, waving his arms as they are hooking up. Well, before my dad called to have him towed, everything was documented, including having the sheriff himself drive by and take several pictures of the truck parked with th

    Text - After 3 hours, Dude's boss gives up and writes a check for $7800 to cover parking and tow truck fees. That actually covered the tow truck, all the repairs, printing the signs, and beer for about a year for my dad's Tuesday poker gathering. Salut. Dude, who still lives there, does not park in the pecan grove. His boss payroll deducted his checks for 2 years. TLDR; trying to stop trespass parking is useless. Charge for parking instead. Edited for typos and clarity. Thanks for the upvotes. Y
