normally when I'm in a case like this... i give the person a couple of days to realize their fault (leave a note for them), you know... being considerate (which the OP has been)

but at this point, it's been a few days... and the car is STILL there... then get them towed

Is there any on street parking bylaw where you live? Here you can't park overnight on the street. Find out if you have such a law if yes then just call the cops and they'll slap them with a big fat ticket.

Otherwise, I second the thermite idea. You need to do science on that car.

Is that "bylaw" or "by law"? ;)

I would have peed on his drivers door handle and made sure some went down the window into the door itself.

Holy shit, I get it now.

Also, motion to ban Elevenpog.

Nah you guys gotta cut him some slack. Imagine what it's like to be in his shoes. The dude has been in an abusive relationship for years. You don't know what kind of torment people go through. But he finally broke it off recently and is now onto his next victim.

do i call the cops or a towing company? i have no idea who owns this car. been parked here for two days. they are blocking almost 1/3rd of my driveway with the front of their car. i have left a color printed note with the picture of the car in my driveway and 2 hours later, the car is still there with the note tossed away somewhere.

asshole :mad:

I had this happen years ago to me in the Bay Area I let it slide for one day then I pushed it out of the way with my truck and set free all the trapped air in his tires, got home the next day and it was gone.
