mefinks you may find that if you clear the ice on a public road/path and someone subsequetly has an accident you could be personally liable.. such a litigious society I would leave that alone.
same for the car prob Tim I afraid IMO.. espesh now you have highlighted the situation to the bobbies.. the cops must have checked it out etc re tax.insurance and cross referenced to where the owner lives...its just one of those things isnt it- if thye werent legal the fuzz wudda took them away I sure some of our blue friends may confirm or deny this..
it is bloody annoying !!.... when I had one of my pubs the neighbouring shop owner used to park his car on my public outside drinking area.. it ATE UPMY LIFE FOR MONTHS.. let it goooooo.. it will make you ill..
incidentally one of my regulars chucked a whole pint of guiness all over it to prove a point.. and me as he licensee got called in to the cop shop and had a severe reprimand from the big man ..
dont damage it as tempting as it is.. i would put a laminated note on it if it would vent your spleen..
