I’m mostly asking because the cop seemed like a real bitch and like I was wasting her time.
Last month my neighbors kid started getting new to him cars. He’s gone through 3-4 so I think he might be flipping them. There’s a large gap between our driveways, but instead of parking in the middle or near their driveway, he parks flush with mine – annoying and it makes it hard to park but whatever.
One day I come out and he’s actually blocking about 10% of my driveway. I had to leave and it was gone when I got home so I let it slide. A few days later I come out and he’s blocking about 30% of my driveway. I go over and politely ask them to move their car. This morning I go out and the kid is blocking like 40% of my driveway again. If I was parked on that side i would be blocked in.
I can’t just have his car towed because that opens me up to liability. There’s a process that needs to be followed and it starts with contacting non-emergency police. I called and they showed up 15 min later. They take pics of the car, put a written warning on it, and “make contact” with my neighbors. If it happens again they’ll get a ticket and escalates from there.
AITA for calling non-emergency police over this? I asked once and they clearly don’t give a fuck. I’m not asking them to move their car every time they block my driveway so this seemed like the most logical response to get it resolved.
