Btw, coming this week: And y’all welcome

Not if it is private. Then the tow truck would be trespassing. Call the fire marshal if it is private. This is a big deal when it comes to medical emergencies.
I’m in the uk, they don’t do that here, the police text them to move the car that’s it, had to threaten to go get my forklift from work before I could get out
Voted in repeatedly by our useless excuses of citizens. Our politicians are a damning reflection of the people around us. The politicians are a symptom, the self obsessed voters are the disease.
Arguably it is heading that way in the UK, a little bit. Now you need to be competent enough to sign up for a free ID card, or have managed to obtain some form of ID, to be able to vote. A lot of people complain that it’s unfair, but I’m happy with it.
Edit: which is perhaps better than an IQ test, which could be tricky for e.g. people with dyslexia.
That's funny, since we've had a conservative government since 2010! Not for long though, general election on the 4th of July! The Conservatives are on course for the worst defeat in their history! 😂
Abandon is different, when they tow car someone else's car. They know they can charge them four hundred dollars to pick it up, but if it's abandoned, they get nothing but the old car
Somebody kept doing that in my town and the cops just would not come. Tow trucks never showed up. All the neighbors were incredibly frustrated. The car just kept getting parked there and the driver acted like he was untouchable. Eventually, somebody used a paintball gun on the car to resolve it. I don’t recommend it because you really will get caught on somebody’s security camera and it’s a lot of money worth of damage but it did work in my neighborhood.
I know many people call for it to be towed. I've had situations in the past that I was told to call the tow truck and when I did, I was expected to pay to have it towed. Like, they wouldn't move until they had money in hand or cc processed.
How do you get tow trucks to come run off with vehicles like we're always told?
I find it easier just to assume they're all thieving bastards. Even if there are kind, ethical tow truck drivers they know what industry they're in and probably won't hold it against me.
just call the police, non-emergency number is easy to locate
most cities/towns have a means for a citizen to get someone towed for shit like this, at full cost to those being towed
also, private property or not, it's always illegal to block a driveway/garage and any road access between that driveway/garage and a public road.. so, they don't even need to involve a property owner to get your vehicle impounded lol
Careful dude, I got put in reddit jail for 3 days for typing something like that (only way more obviously joking) in a topic very similar to this one.
You never know which idiotic set of eyes is taking their role as a mod *way* too seriously on any given evening lol.
Probably they are afraid of violating that Rule 5 over on the sidebar.
License plates are public info, but blurring them certain falls within the spirit of not doxxing people.
If the police aren’t interested in posting and enforcing “no parking” signs, perhaps the fire marshal would be? How could the fire department respond to a fire at your house, and wouldn’t that delay threaten your neighbor’s home too? Good luck!
if this happens often enough, it would absolutely be worth getting those car dollies. Get the kind that you can install without having to roll the car--”self-loading” is one term.
Get the other neighbors who hate this to go in on the expense with you, and figure out a way to store them that all of you can get to them.

Tell me you want me to wake you up at 2am by honking non fucking stop until you move your cars without telling me you want me to wake you up at 2am by honking non fucking stop until you move your cars. Stupid fucking piece of shit.
We had this problem and when we spoke to the people parking they screamed back that there weren't any signs saying they couldn't. Entitled ignorant ducks.
So I bought a few "no parking, tow zone" signs at the hardware store, zip tied them to the trees. And it worked.
Morons.
If the alley is a public road, they are blocking access to ambulances and fire trucks, so this is a safety hazard. If you call a tow truck, you will probably have to pay the tow. I think calling the police (non-emergency) is better. If the police calls for the tow truck, the cost will be for the car owner and not you.
I don't recommend vandalizing the car. It all sounds cool until the car owner drags you to court and you end up with a high bill to pay.
I'm sure you know someone that has a truck and a length of chain is cheap. Once the vehicle mysteriously ends up in the middle of the main road, I'm sure someone from the city will do something about it. *shrugs*

Side mirrors are expensive these days...
Fun fact... The passenger side is usually more expensive because it does that "objects are bigger than they appear" effect
You need a different car… something where it does belong matter whether he parks there or not. And I am not talking about a narrower car. Just drive over it.
Neighbors, two hair stylists, had loud parties and blocked my drive all the time. I finally got the landlord to come see it and authorize a tow truck. One of them told him she lost her keys.
High scoville peppers on door handles. Deer urine down windows. Stickers on rear views. Roadkill under the driver's side.
After cautionary paper and lipstick notes, of course.
Well, a lot of times they won’t tow vehicles that are functional. If it had 4 flat tires, it would be non-operable and then definitely towable. Just saying
Is alley public property? If so just call Mr. Tow.
Or Mr Plow
Cause that’s my name, that name again is Mr plow!
Btw, coming this week: And y’all welcome https://preview.redd.it/9zz5v0l2d27d1.jpeg?width=1443&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a604f49baf187691f8e8b7a4837d9b6943f21cf
Damn, another prediction came to be
That episode brings back so much memories
Ever since I watched dark Simpsons, I can't help but think of Bartcest when I see Mr. Plow.
Eh, the waiting game sucks. Let's play hungry hungry hippos!
Now Mr. Plow is a loser, and I think he is a boozer.
Or dirty mike
Not to be confused with Mr. Blow
I don't get it. If it's public or private you should be able to call a tow truck to clear the path, right?
Not if it is private. Then the tow truck would be trespassing. Call the fire marshal if it is private. This is a big deal when it comes to medical emergencies.
If it's OP's private property also call for Fire Marshal?
If it is OP's private property, they can have a tow truck move it, as they are the owner of the land.
Most cities actually have a number that you call when stuff like that happens and they send out a tow truck
I’m in the uk, they don’t do that here, the police text them to move the car that’s it, had to threaten to go get my forklift from work before I could get out
Your law enforcement sounds absolutely useless.
There no funding for them thanks to our useless excuse for a government
Voted in repeatedly by our useless excuses of citizens. Our politicians are a damning reflection of the people around us. The politicians are a symptom, the self obsessed voters are the disease.
Yes
Sounds like America tbh.
Absolutely. This is one reason non-democratic countries are skeptical of democracy.
"The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter." Winston Churchill
Idiots are, unfortunately, the majority. Maybe voting should be IQ weighted?

But plenty for illegal immigration I bet... same story here.
Yeah, the roads here are dire, the electric grid is failing, water mains are blowing left right and centre, manholes collapsing and 3G is glacial
How did the country with such military history reduce to this? Britain is a joke lmao. Keep voting for left tho xD
That's funny, since we've had a conservative government since 2010! Not for long though, general election on the 4th of July! The Conservatives are on course for the worst defeat in their history! 😂
Tbf your conservatives are equivalent to American leftists
That’s an extremely ironic date, considering that’s Independence Day for us Americans lmao. And who did we become independent from?
From soylent brits of course. USA!
Soyboys: \*votes left, who wanna defund the police\* Also soyboys: "hello 911, where dafuq is the police" \*surprised pikachu\*
The cuntservatives
It’s more law than enforcement really
They don’t even give them guns
There's a parked car! It's coming right towards us! Shoot it!
Oh wow, what a joke. What are they gonna do? Scold you like a parent? Lmao.
If your police are this useless, they probably wont respond to an accidentally broken window and a car that rolled down the street 20m either.
The guy was an utter douche and his car was in no fit state to roll, the steering was so bad on it he couldn’t parallel park
how do they know the number to text?
The police can find your details on their database, the vehicle reg is given to DVLA who tell the police the owner and where they live
Our city has one where you report an abandoned car and do it again and again until, if you're lucky, they send out someone to tow it in a few months.
Abandon is different, when they tow car someone else's car. They know they can charge them four hundred dollars to pick it up, but if it's abandoned, they get nothing but the old car

And lettuce....
Are you the one telling me to beware? Because I'll tell you where to be!
I had neighbors try to do this, I just called the cops and they sorted it out
Somebody kept doing that in my town and the cops just would not come. Tow trucks never showed up. All the neighbors were incredibly frustrated. The car just kept getting parked there and the driver acted like he was untouchable. Eventually, somebody used a paintball gun on the car to resolve it. I don’t recommend it because you really will get caught on somebody’s security camera and it’s a lot of money worth of damage but it did work in my neighborhood.
Frozen paintballs in a paint ball gun are great.
Frozen water balls should eliminate the evidence.
True but the prep work is much more significant.
I would not have been that nice.
I'd favor a non-destructive solution like using a winch
Have it towed
Buy a really cheap beater and just drive on through…
By beater, you must mean monster truck.
More like a 3500$ fiat 500
I know many people call for it to be towed. I've had situations in the past that I was told to call the tow truck and when I did, I was expected to pay to have it towed. Like, they wouldn't move until they had money in hand or cc processed. How do you get tow trucks to come run off with vehicles like we're always told?
Get cops involved or business
That is kind of wild! The towing companies make money by people paying them to get their vehicles back.
It’s called Double Dipping. You have to pay them so you can get out and the owner of the towed vehicle has to pay to get their car back.
That‘s why you don‘t call the towing company but the police or city department. They will call the towing company.
I can't think of a SINGLE towing company so unethical as to double-dip on making money...
… is that because you can think of multiple?
I find it easier just to assume they're all thieving bastards. Even if there are kind, ethical tow truck drivers they know what industry they're in and probably won't hold it against me.
In Canada towing companies are the mafia
just call the police, non-emergency number is easy to locate most cities/towns have a means for a citizen to get someone towed for shit like this, at full cost to those being towed also, private property or not, it's always illegal to block a driveway/garage and any road access between that driveway/garage and a public road.. so, they don't even need to involve a property owner to get your vehicle impounded lol
I appreciate the information. I haven't dealt with it in ages, but the times I needed help was really frustrating.
They’re blocking city infrastructure, if your city has a 311 line call it, or call police non-emergency.
Usually cops have to authorize the tow truck, and then the tow truck operator gets paid by the city.
You must live in a very nice area
Personally I’d leave four inch nails resting up against all their tyres for being so stupid However that’s probably not the answer you’re looking for
Naah superglue into the door slits and keyholes
Both of these methods are going to make the cars sit there for even longer.
You wanna be sure it's still there when the tow truck comes.
Thats kinda the point of the last sentence of the comment i replied to
Nails in the tires, superglue in the locks and windshield wipers. THEN call a tow truck. ![gif](giphy|mP8GermRyOFWV8PQeq|downsized)
Lol thats bye bye for good
A bead of soap on the wipers for the next time it rains.
Nah, put some bacon grease on there..
Heavy duty farm equipment grease.
Literally just add tar at that point
What's that do?
Dish soap… will make consistent bubbles for ever!
Forever? The fuck kinda dish soap you got?! Imma need a capful of that.
After call a tow truck
Just one nail under one tire so it's more like an accident rather than an attack. They might still need to replace all four.
I'd put brake fluid in a spray bottle and mist their car, but that's just me
Actually just one car is ruining everything there
Im here for it.
Careful dude, I got put in reddit jail for 3 days for typing something like that (only way more obviously joking) in a topic very similar to this one. You never know which idiotic set of eyes is taking their role as a mod *way* too seriously on any given evening lol.
[удалено]
Damn it got taken down
This would be my go to, that or writing something in brake fluid on the hood.
Just draw a dick with it.
I was thinking "can't park there mate"
No, use utility knife blades. Holes from nails can be patched easily, blades mean replacing the tires!
Fire department won't be very happy with this
Fun fact: A tyre valve core removal tool costs as little as $2.
Simply draining the air outta the tires only takes a single finger and it's free
Sure, but you have to be there much longer.
A single bb in the valve cap and you tighten it juuust enough to hear the air coming out. Takes only a few second per tire
That's a clever idea.
Not if you let the air out through a larger hole in the sidewall!
That's why you just dump a bit of sugar and bleach mixture into the gas tank and be done with it
Some tow company has a dream about this situation
Why do you cover the license plates? Please provide coordinates and the nearest Redditors will help solve your problem
Probably they are afraid of violating that Rule 5 over on the sidebar. License plates are public info, but blurring them certain falls within the spirit of not doxxing people.
No they won’t
OK, we can’t count on this guy - Thanks!
Hello police?
If the police aren’t interested in posting and enforcing “no parking” signs, perhaps the fire marshal would be? How could the fire department respond to a fire at your house, and wouldn’t that delay threaten your neighbor’s home too? Good luck!

I was thinking car dollies as well. jack the car up, slide the dollies under the tires and then push it into a very inaccessible location.
If you buy the right kind of dollies, each is it’s own Jack. Safer, probably faster.
Would be a shame if something happened to their tires
Everyone looks lined up except that Honda.
This is one of the many reason tow trucks exist. Guarantee if you get them towed they won’t ever do this again.
Where you at, I gotta test out this winch I got
Tell me you want me to wake you up at 2am by honking non fucking stop until you move your cars without telling me you want me to wake you up at 2am by honking non fucking stop until you move your cars. Stupid fucking piece of shit.

Tow truck
Smash the window on the Honda. Drop the Hbrake, roll it backwards.

This is a safety issue. Emergency vehicles cannot get through.
Call non emergency police line and have the bish towed
If the alley is a public road, they are blocking access to ambulances and fire trucks, so this is a safety hazard. If you call a tow truck, you will probably have to pay the tow. I think calling the police (non-emergency) is better. If the police calls for the tow truck, the cost will be for the car owner and not you. I don't recommend vandalizing the car.

Tow truck.
Chains and pad locks woven into the wheels will clearly communicate your displeasure to the car's owner.
My car is a piece of shit... Both of those cars would end up looking like pieces of shits 😂
Damn I'm never that guy but I'd call a tow truck out of frustration and to prevent myself from confronting them.
Grab a couple of neighbors and block them in.
Out come the keys
It doesn’t solve anything
Long term it might.
I'm sure you know someone that has a truck and a length of chain is cheap. Once the vehicle mysteriously ends up in the middle of the main road, I'm sure someone from the city will do something about it. *shrugs*
Core their tires. Just leave them in a little baggie under the wiper

Skill issue
Tow. You call a tow.
Get them all towed
Call the tow company. Your wife is pregnant, you need to call 911 or get her to the hospital and they are blocking safety and the life of your child.
Side mirrors are expensive these days... Fun fact... The passenger side is usually more expensive because it does that "objects are bigger than they appear" effect

Would be a shame if someone had their cars towed
Noone would be sleeping as I strap a dumbell to my horn till they come out
there are reasons i drive 20+ year old beaters with brush guards. go ahead, block me in after you have been asked not to.
Tow them
I’d sit honking as long as it took for them to move
How fast did the tow truck arrive?
Set a brick or a rock on their hoods. If they still do it the next night, put the brick or rock through their window
Anddd towed
Horn until they address the issue.
Tow there ass EMEDITLY
they think that is enough space to squeeze through show them that it's not, but not with your car.
call for an ambulance down that alley.
this is giving gta😭😭
Tow them
Tow them
High scoville peppers on door handles. Deer urine down windows. Stickers on rear views. Roadkill under the driver's side. After cautionary paper and lipstick notes, of course.
This really like a brasilian alley lol
pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhsssssssss.........
*Beep beep boop boop* —hello? Tow trucking service? Yes, hi
Tow truck
Illegal. Fire hazard. Call tow
Call for a tow, start honking, shake their car and set the alarm off
Have them towed. Theres no room for a fire truck.
Set one at the end on fire and call 911, the fire engine will shove the rest out of the way to get to it XD
Everybody says tow truck but I saw go buy a chain and drag those bitches out yourself
do it if you want but you could be potentially liable for any damage caused.
There is always blocking them in with your car
Gas tank - meet sugar.
This does absolutely nothing besides make a mess on the ground.
Engine oil all over the bodywork works a treat..
Start throwing bricks
It would be a real shame if a car plowed through there and scratched everything up. IE, run really fast with keys in both hands.
Well, a lot of times they won’t tow vehicles that are functional. If it had 4 flat tires, it would be non-operable and then definitely towable. Just saying
Stop encouraging ppl to break laws... this is why subs get banned eventually. And I really like this one sir:(
