Abandoned cars and rights of access
« on: 29 June 2012, 16:33 »
Got a horrid KIA dumped outside my unit blocking access. Been there 3days now, left a note last night politely asking them to move which has disappeared but car is still there.
 Contacted police to trace owner and they are having no luck also said as it's private property (owned by council) they have no jurisdiction? Asked if I could just move it on a dolly they said technically that'd be theft!? :laugh:

So what to do? had to come away as there's nothing I can do if I can't get in or out of my unit which I pay a considerable amount for. Seems ridiculous that I can't move it and the police are powerless if given a dodgy phone number.

So suggestions or solutions people. Helpful or otherwise, cheer me up :sad:

Do you not have a rope and a towing point on your car?

I'm confused as to the problem here.

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Police officer should know the definition of theft.. To dishonestly appropriate property belonging to another with the intention of PERMANENTLY depriving the other of it...

Shove it out your way with force, dont get the police involved... looks liked its been abondoned 'not in your way'

Saying that it may have been stolen and could be a biddys pride and joy....

Flip it on its roof and grind the floor out, using it as a skip or failing that just leave a big sign on it saying 'free to scrap men'
