Don't bother with the police with this.....call your local council highways department and tell them that you are having access to your garage blocked on a regular basis and you need something done about it.

Before you call, consider this......does that car also narrow the access to the rest of the road? If it does, tell the council that by parking in front of your garage, it is also blocking an emergency access route and you would hate for an ambulance or fire engine to be blocked by it should anyone need their help.

It's horrible to turn yourself into a whining, moaning old fogie....but sometimes it's what you need to do. Take photos the next time the car is there and tell the council you need to have access to the garage 24hrs.

If you haven't done it already, put a sign on the garage door to say, "no parking, access required" and if it was me, I'd also buy one of those cheap cameras and put that up too with a sign to say, "CCTV in operation". If that doesn't stop them, sending tapes, photos and many phone calls to the council will get something done.......eventually.

Whatever you do though, don't do anything to the vehicle........you'll just get yourself in trouble.

Only other alternative would be to get the owner to park his car there so that person has to find somewhere else!
