This is the same knobhead that parked across the girlfiends driveway

one
evening so that I could not get out in the morning to go to work.

Friend of mine had the entrance to his industrial unit blocked several
times by a neighbour who 'did up cars' - lot's of them in the street.
Despite several polite requests it kept happening. One day he was
blocked in so lifted the ofending wreck with his forklift and put it
on the roof of another of the vehicles - never had any more problems
after that!!!


Very tempting every time some dog walker/bluebell fancier... parks
blocking a field gateway.

I ran this by our local police who took a very strong view that moving
someone else's vehicle was *misappropriation/theft*.

Many years ago there was a tale of some dockers who parked an offending
car on a stack of pallets. The case went to court (Magistrates) and was
dismissed on the basis that the driver had ignored verbal warnings.

My current cure is to park a tree stump (1000kg or so) across the
gateway. This has dual effects; firstly they go somewhere else, secondly
there is a subliminal message about the sort of equipment available for
moving *objects*.
