have they got a drive? just start using theres!

I fixed this a couple of years ago, by reversing my van (complete with towbar) straight in to my new neighbours car who kept parking right next to the entrance of my drive, he never did it again.

Best thing to do would be to first go over and ask if they had seen anyone reversing in to your drive as some one had revered into a car that was parked on your drive and damaged it. Tell them to keep an eye out for anyone reversing on to your drive and note down there registration etc etc Tell them you appreciate them helping you out.

Tell them you need the details to pass on to the insurance compnay and police etc This should scare them in to not using your drive if not then you can do something a bit more drastic!

Some people just can't be told though. My neighbours are an absolute nightmare - they've got 4 cars on the road, even though their drive will take them all they don't use it then there's their kids friends that call and they think cos they'll only be there a few mins they park across our drive - sorted that out the other day by just sitting in the car with my hand on the horn until they came and moved. Every time we have a word we get the 'sorry, won't do it again' but it does.

Do the have any pets? When the go to church on Sunday break into their house at petnap their dog/cat/goldfish, and sacrifice it to the devil. See how they and their God likes that. I know it's a bit extreme but these people have to learn.

We have the same problem with our neighbours the bastids keep blocking our access to our garage, but they moan like **** at us when my van is parked to far forward, the two face bastids and they put in a letter of complaint when we had our planing aplication in, saying that it would block their access to their fecking property !! never mind blocking mine FFS

But the best bit we won with the planning

You wait till I get my bigger van

We've got a big van too and they're applying for planning permission - we've already complained about it and now they have to re-submit new plans.

Thing with that plan is you must have seen them reverse in to the driveway to know they had hit a parked vehicle, otherwise you wouldn't have known they'd reversed in. I'd see straight through your plan and increase the annoyance tactics.

Move house I'd say.

Their God will judge them and banish them to hell, thou shall not trespass ...

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Clatrops on a string will do it too.
Large head roofing nails, galvanized of course.
Wide board with spikes pointing up occasionally works.
12" log, hinged one end, wheel on the other. (not damaging unless they insist.)
Lots of little nefarious things come to mind.
