Homeowner sells entitled neighbor's car after he keeps parking it in homeowner's private driveway without permission

  • A blue pickup truck is parked in the wrong private driveway.
  • "My Neighbor Kept Parking in My Driveway, So I Sold His Car."

    If you only read the title, I might sound like a lunatic. But trust me, he had it coming.
  • I live in a quiet neighborhood with assigned driveways. My neighbor, Todd, decided that mine was also his personal parking space.
  • At first, I was polite. I asked him to move. He apologized and said it wouldn't happen again.
  • It happened again. And again. And again. One day, I came home to find his car parked there again- blocking me from my own garage.
  • I knocked on his door. No answer. I called him. Straight to voicemail. I had places to be, and I was done playing nice.
  • So, I got creative. I called a towing company, but not to tow it away. I had it towed for sale.
  • See, Todd had left his car unlocked. And in my state, if a vehicle is left on private property without permission, the owner of the property can have it removed.
  • An exasperated man gasps while holding his hands to his face.
  • I also happened to have a buddy who owned a tow yard, and he was more than happy to help.
  • Within an hour, Todd's car was on its way to an impound lot where it would be legally auctioned if he didn't pay the fines.
  • Todd showed up at my door that night, fuming. "Where's my car?" I shrugged. "Not my problem.
  • Maybe check the impound lot." He had to shell out a few hundred bucks to get it back.
  • He never parked in my driveway again.
