    I would take down photo. Likely to cause you hassle if they or others identify you.
    No point in letting them know it bothers you as they may seize any opportunity to piss you off.
    Your point is well made by occupying the space alone.

    Nothing identifiable in that picture. Leave it up. Well done. :D

    NCT or INSURANCE, not needed to "PARK" on a public road, just road tax.

    Wrong

    NCT and insurance is required.

    The minute they drive off their property they need all of these including a licence....

    Happy to see this thread still going :D I just noticed the car abandoned beside my house has been lifted recently, reported just over a month ago. Frees up a much needed space in the cul-de-sac on my road if someone is visiting.

    Keep fighting the good fight :D

    I've noticed I have one of these neighbours in my apartment block; parked where they usually park and got some dirty looks when they pulled in a few mins later.
    Nipped down to Tesco and when I got back, they had moved into the spot I had left :pac:

    As has been proved many a time on Boards, there are some folk around who are just cnuts, plain and simple.

    Little update... So he moved an aul yoke he's had (which is a company car might I add) that he hasn't driven since 2018 out into the spot on the road about 8 months ago now, which hasn't really bothered me as I hardly needed the spot this last year with the aul corona craic. I rightly reported that one because its out of all discs and when the council came to take it they took the wrong car and ended up taking his daughters yoke from the garden :pac:

    If they took a car from his garden they will be in a lot of trouble, he must be rubbing his hands for the compensation he is going to get.

    Would it be a council house and as such their property?

    Apparently an owner can just say it's not abandoned? I reported a car parked on a public road recently as it has a flat, discs out 2+ years and growing a thick layer of moss/dirt. They came back to say the car was reported previously and the owner just said it wasn't abandoned and they suggested contacting Gardai...

    Gardai won't do anything but when abandoned and reg plates are missing they get lifted very quickly.

    Pity they didn't take both cars midnight.

    It doesn't make sense. If it's on private property the local authority will not take it.

    If it's on public road the authority will issue a notice before taking an abandoned vehicle. They don't just rock up and take an untaxed vehicle.

    It was a private operator acting on behalf, I was standing in my own garden as they rocked up and announced it and showed himself paperwork

    Well it wasn't a local authority seizing under the waste management act that's for sure

    Talking about neighbours parking, is it reasonable to park a car in line with your pillar.
    As in not backing off even an inch. Like right on the line.
    I think it's a bit obnoxious!

    Does the OP have a driveway ? If not then apply to council for planning to open one and get permission to scallop path. Once you have planning for driveway and you open the garden then anybody parking across your gate can be ticketed 😉.

    They have, he was only parking in it to wind the neighbour up as he seems to believe he owns the full rights to park there on a public road.

    There are so many like this and the op was having a bit of fun.

    Ah yea I understood that, I was just suggesting a permanent solution to his neighbours. I appreciate the irritation factor.

    I've read this from beginning to end, there is plenty of good potential there!

    One thing, you will never beat these idiots. However, if you can continue to unsettle them that would be great.

    *Shame the picture is gone though, I'd love to see it first hand.

    No, I had a neighbour who used to do the same, total dick thing to do.
    Now I say that as they had plenty of room not to do it, and even other spaces to park their car,

    It's not a bit obnoxious, its a lot obnoxious
