Neighbor parking issues.

[BP]

I've inadvertently left lug nuts loose on a car before when someone rushed me to finish a job. The wheels don't magically just fly off of a car. Even in Nascar when they have a mechanical problem with one of the guns they'll make 10+ laps before the driver has a problem.

If someone gets injured because you loosened up their lug nuts you're responsible. Fatality crash? Congrats bruh, you get murder/manslaughter.

Edit: What kinda bitch fucks with someone's car? I don't see a problem with someone putting nails in their lawn so that said offender gets a nice dose if they don't act right, but it's a bit fucked up to do ACTUAL harm to someone's property.

It could be even worse if the lug nuts that were loosened up were on a departments worth of squad cars and that prevented them from getting to someone to render aid in an emergency..... What exactly is the statue of limitations for that sort of thing? Is it 27 years or less? I am not saying that happened; I am just saying that I am not really concerned about the consequences of doing something once I decide to do it.

You say that it is really fucked up to do actual harm to someones property and I agree but with one little caveat. I have always gone by the 10 to 1 rule. If someone maliciously cost me a dollar I will try my best to cost them 10. I am in my mid 40s and it has worked for me so far so you just keep doing things your way and I will keep sticking to my way.

I'm glad I have good neighbors and don't live in a crap neighborhood. Never had to deal with this kind of stuff..

This hood is newer but it doesn't take long before the idiots start messing it up

We need pictures of said ruts and bro trucks on your lawn

I will put one up. The bro doesn't leave his wheel on my grass but he drives up on it to put the front wheel up on his grass. Why not just stay on the concrete? Unless of course you just don't care

I live kind of in the country and most of the houses have a acre or so on a dead end street. One of my neighbors is older and lives with his mom, and also has strays as we call them, over and living there all the time, on and off. All of the driveways are around 200 feet and have plenty of parking. Nope, they always had cars everywhere in front of their house and across the street in the neighbors ditch. Well the guy across the street was having none of this and cut down about six good sized cedar trees and laid them at the edge of his property. Holy shit they were mad, called county twice, called the city marshal, etc. Well as much as you have the right to park where you want and not in the street, he has the right to put what ever the hell he wants on his property. OP I have seen T-Posts (very visible) on corners in alleys, barrels, 2 ton decorative stones, etc. Totally legal and they will only hit them once before they realize it is probably not a good idea to park there. Damage to their vehicle due to hidden shit could be construed as criminal mischief or if some dipshit stepped on them it may not go well for you.

There's nothing I can do, but it's still frustrating, thus I'll do my best to not have the same problem in our next house.

I had the same issue with some former neighbors. 20 Mexicans in a 4 bedroom house, you can imagine the parking challenges it created. My issue, however, was that they would block my driveway. Them leaving their windows down, coupled with my sprinkler system fixed the problem.


I wouldn't have had an issue had they not blocked my driveway, though. And as long as their car isn't a giant mismatched pile of shit, I don't think I'd mind really. Gives the illusion that someone is home, etc.

As long as they aren't blocking the mail box, or driveway, it is your problem. They aren't doing anything illegal. At least in TX anyways.

Talked to a neighbor about it, and her excuse was that they don't have space in front of their house, but frankly, that's not my problem.

I will definitely be taking a closer look at the neighborhood when we buy our next home, I own a corner lot, and provide neighborhood parking. Talked to a neighbor about it, and her excuse was that they don't have space in front of their house, but frankly, that's not my problem.

Once I fix the rut this wknd I'm gonna see what happens. I'm only fixing it once then its nail time. I think my across street neighbor got tired of backing into his truck. It was right behind his driveway. Either way they have 5 cars for a 4 bed home. It's a big sausage fest over there with too many fucking cars.

Sounds like you live on my street, except my neighbors not only have their personal trucks, but they all have work trucks and on the weekends their girl friends cars are there. Then I've got some Burmese living down the street with at least 10 people living in a 3 bedroom house to be able to afford the place. I don't live in a fancy neighborhood, but I guess you have to spend closer to 400k to avoid these problems.

[Captain Crawfish]

Dude, this is easy. Pull the code for your town, and see if it's illegal to park the way they are. If it is, call a tow company when they do it. If you get your hands dirty on purpose with idiots, you're a bigger idiot.

I'm not into to tearing up people's stuff. Not worth my time or the bs. Last thing I need is a neighbor war. It will all workout

[Captain Crawfish]

I'm just gonna throw a big party and have everybody park up on the grass in front of their house. Prob start parking my boat and some other shit there too! After all it's public property might as well get my tax dollars worth

[TeeShock]

There are 5 cars at my place and we regularly overlap other properties. It's a public street and we aren't blocking any mailboxes or driveways. Early bird gets the parking spot.
