So no real harm done, but you don't expect to see a total stranger just park up on your lawn.
It's double yellow, all wheels are on my lawn so the footpath is clear.
I just wouldn't dream of it.
stick a potato up their exhaust that'll teach em 😉
If it was my lawn I'd be having a word. Cheeky git.
I'd be going all DrP on their tyres.
They'd be coming back to find my van and my wife's car parked a fag paper's width from their bumpers............
As there is a street sign in the background, I'll be round later to sort him out, and if it's gone, I'll nick your bikes instead.
And in answer to your question, no I wouldn't, cheeky git!
Do you have sharp edge keys?
Er, no I wouldn't park on someone's lawn.
Have you got a valve core extractor?? 😈
It's a car which automatically removes normal restrictions, just be grateful your dog/child isn't underneath it.
Quick, build a rockery around it.
Cheeky bar steward! I'd have to have words
Roll it into your garage and shut the door, it was clearly meant as a gift.
or
MOVE IT in shaving foam all over the windows.
Tip it on its side so you can mow the lawn 😈
No, I would not park on someones lawn.
I'd be busy stripping it for parts before bumping it into the middle of the road.
Don't move the car...perhaps instead build a rockery and a strategically placed water feature or two.
The car owner earlier...

Or put a "for sale" sign on it.
NSFW!!!!
I know someone who bought a giant 4x4 pickup thing and was featured on that site within about a week. 🙂
Let two tyres down.
report to police as abandonned vehicle on private property
I live directly opposite a primary school and 50 yards down the road from the village church. Apparently a circular must have gone around that I missed that said it was just dandy to park across or sometimes in our drive at kiddy dropping off and picking up time or for a session of god bothering. The Vic still hasn't spoken to me since I interrupted a Christmas morning service to ask the asshat who blocked us in to move his sodding car 100m down the road where there was acres of space so we could get on with our Christmas day and that it wasn't really a very Christian thing to do. I'll let you guess the make of car, you'll get it in two.
No, I wouldn't park like that.
But how obvious is it that it's a garden, and not a grass verge?
(Not clear from the photo.)
Truly shocking I'd leave an angry letter on the screen or make it my duty to see them when they get in the car
Looking at the type of car I wouldn't be surprised if it's a SCROTABILITY car (motability), and they'll just use the old "I'm disabled" card
Check the tax disc see of it says disabled on it with NIL on the value, not that this should allow somebody to park there anyways but they are a law to themselves!
If all of that isn't true, then I'd say maybe it doesn't look like a garden as such like said above
I'd be fuming. I'd report it as dumped to the police, cheeky bastards.
Could you not chain it up and charge a £900 release fee?
I bet that the driver has a leg tattoo.

Yeah bloody disabled people - I hate those guys.
I hate the disabled fakers indeed, sadly that makes up about half the amount in the country see it first hand everyday in order to bag themselves a nice brand new car just like that one above
And if they are disabled it doesn't make it right to park on someone's garden 😆
Put up a fence between the car and the pavement 🙂
Poo on the bonnet
Wow a fair few posts in now and no ones told you it's your fault OP
Must be a stw first
A3 sheet of paper with "this is not a parking space" in size 80 - wet it with water and stick it to the screen at drivers eye level
It's got me thinking now...
If someone parks on your private property, would you be breaking any law if you were to take off every re moveable part, laying them neatly by the side of the car? Windscreen wipers, bumpers, wheels, etc?
Let's say it was a service you provided for all your guests...
Rachel
Or if you crashed into it...... Its private property after all not accessable by all and treated as a public road......
Thinking about it - i think id just break out the trolley jack and axel stands .... Stick it 1 inch off the ground with an axel stand on every corner 🙂

Half the amount in the country? Hmm...
See it first hand every day? Course you do. 🙄
And if they are disabled it doesn't make it right to park on someone's garden
Lucky no-one's said that then. It's you that's invented this whole imaginary scenario where the person is a pretend-disabled fraudster, purely based on the car being a Berlingo. 😆
Cheeky mares. I'd be very tempted to block them in with another car or something equally unmovable.
Time to light your annual Easter bank-holiday bonfire. Right under that car someone's abandoned.
[STW mode]call that a lawn? no wonder passers-by think its abandoned waste land! 🙂 [/STW mode]
*not really, the bastard needs a hammer through his window.
Is this p***k still there??
Got a decent piece of wood? Got a trolley jack? Is the car in neutral? Find the centre jack points, jack the front and angle it toward where you want it, then lower and jack the rear and push it to where it should be.
You just want it gone, not make it more difficult to remove.
Also, is the petrol cap locked? If not, drain it!
Like your thinking daffy.... Middle of the road- at 90 degrees to the road. 🙂
Superglue wet and dry to the length of the wiper blades... shit in the air conditioning intake... pin prick coolant hose...

A full new thread with 'as it happens' pictures of the OP dismantling it down to a chassis on breeze-blocks would be lovely.
s this p***k still there??
Yep.
The kids are in the garden playing now. Remember when it used to be jumpers for goalposts 😆
Let's see.
IIRC, parked adjacent to double yellows is still illegally parked, even if they're not directly on the road.
If you're in London, parking with wheels on the pavement is specifically illegal by bylaw.
Assuming no dropped kerb, they've had to drive across the pavement to get to your property. I'm sure dibble would be interested in someone doing that.
Parking on your property - trespass?
Of course, the real question is, why haven't you built a fence around your property? Either before they turned up or after, either is good.
In fact they seem to want the hose on, frisbee, cricket set, RC helicopter, BMX bikes. It actually has pretty strong paint.
Watch a bit of Danny Macaskill and then go practice hopping on and off the roof.

pics or i am calling BS.
I'd defo block it in with a couple of your own vehicles, the owner will then have to speak with you to remove their vehicle.
As its parked on private land the Police effectively cannot do anything, my brother had a similar incident with a parent parking on his land to collect kids from school so he blocked them in.
Said parent came round and asked if he would move his car, he basically told them where to go and slammed the door in their face.
About 1.5hrs later he gets a knock on the door from some Bobbies ,he explained the situation about it being private land and how parents repeatedly parked there.
They politely asked if he would move his car and they would have a word with the school.
Some people are just ignorant d!cks.

Really?
Excellent. Next time I have to use the airport I'll leave my car on someone's driveway for a fortnight.

"Cook pass babtridge"?

I bet they cancel ebay purchases too.
Hahahaha classic Jamie well done sir
Do you have a large tent?

Holy crap! The bloke has left then parked the other way! Cheeky bastid!
Wee on all of the door handles. It's the mature thing to do
If you've got a tin of condensed milk, use it to glue a sheet of newspaper right across the windscreen. Spray across it 'suck it up, jackass'.
Break window release handbrake push
Ring the scrap yard, tell them to collect?
Moat!
I'm sure they're not insured when parked on (your) private property. Burn and report with a very detailed address..... Should cost them!
We had this for the last five years - random cars parking on private spot (front of house, double yellows on road, laid to brick pavers, planted tubs and gert big ''private parking please" sign. Even better, they would regularly pull into the yard/garden of next door that we shared. We one even found 20 plus motorbikes in there, and on the back garden lawn.
Such is life living in a tourist spot.
I need to know how this ends, I need closure.
Can you and a burly mate not bounce the car into the street then report it for causing an obstruction?
I need to know how this ends, I need closure.
It turns out he's a ghost.

I'm coming round with my foldable chair and some hobnobs.

Do they not have fences in this tourist spot? ^

Wagon Wheels, surely?
The OP appears to be far too relaxed about this. I reckon it's his own car and he's just trying to angry-up the forum 😀
Block it in with some shruberries

Imagine if it'd been an Audi S3....8)
GIYF
I've learned two things today, and the first was what 'GIYF' stands for.
An old chap near me used to sprinkle cars with bread and cereal, birds came down like alfred hitchcocks horror movie, left quite a few dents in cars along with lots of crap.
they soon found somewhere else to park.
They snuck off whilst I was plotting my 400km audax route.
Anyway I am chilled, just because I don't like poor leg tattoos and that I think people who ride bikes with frayed cables should be beheaded, doesn't mean I'm not chilled.
I think people who ride bikes with frayed cables should be beheaded
Good idea - I support this law. Did I also mention I sell cable end caps, £50 each?
