When you come home to find a strange car parked in your driveway or assigned parking space, there really isn't much more to be done than to go through the proper procedure for having that car ticketed and towed. Of course, if you're feeling generous and know your neighbor owns the car, it might be the neighborly thing to do to give them a heads-up or a reminder that they've parked in your space. You never know. There could be some kind of emergency going on, like they could have really needed to use the bathroom or something and needed to pull into the first spot that was available.

  • Besides, you'd probably want your neighbor to do the same thing for you in the reverse situation. Still, nine times out of ten, when someone parks in your spot, it's just going to be because they're an entitled dipwad who cares for nobody but themself, so giving them a warning or repeated warnings might not get you much of anywhere.

    When this guy figured out that the car that kept parking in his spot was his neighbor's, he attempted to fix the situation by giving his neighbor a friendly phone call. The neighbor's inconsiderate response earned him the consequences that were soon to follow.

    filled at -4:30pm. We both decided to pay 90$/month for the parking garage under our apartment. After a few weeks my girlfriend started working closer to our home and the need for a car dissapeared. The lease wasnt up on the parkingspace so we decided to use it as a reserve parkingspace incase friends or family came over.

    Since the parkingspace is usually empty, people has started parking in our space. We usually call parking security and they put a fine one the car. This time i chose to be nice, a blacked out BMW was parked in our space and i found out who owned it. I called them with the intention of asking them to move the car politely.

    The owner of the car was a 30 year old man, i rang him up and he picked up the phone.... silence... he was silent for a solid 5 seconds before i hesitantly said "hello?" He responded: -"Who is it?" In an annoyed voice -"Hello my name is Dronectus" - "Dronectus who? From what company" - "Oh, I'm not from a company, i just live in the same appartment complex as you and was wonde..." -"Go the away" and then he hung up the phone

    I then called parking security and 10 minutes later there was a 80$ fine on his car. I tried calling him again to tell him that there was a fine on his car and a tow truck would be there to pick it up later that evening if he didn't move the car from our spot. But when i called him up i got a very warm and pleasant response. "Stop fu*king calling me" and he hung up.

    a licenseplate number to a phonenumber and within a few seconds you get model, make, and the name of the owner. I then used a public database of adresses, names and numbers. Searched for the name and the city i live in and i found his number there! 11 Reply Share
