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.
NTA. Kid needs to learn how to park without blocking stuff.
