If someone parks their vehicle in your yard... and i dont mean half on the street half in the grass... i mean full on drives the vehicle all the way up into your yard and parks it, do you have the right to have it towed?

How about if you have already provided a request that they not do so?

I say you do in either scenario.

so what do you guys think?

Yes, you may have it towed. The vehicle is on private property.

You might want to call the cops (not 911 as this isn't an emergency) and ask for advise. :hmm2:

If it is fully within your property line you can have it towed.

Just make sure you document its location with photographs just in case it ends up in court.

Well - here is why im posing the question.

My wife manages a series of Duplexes in the area.

The owner of said duplexes recently had a sprinkler system worth quite a bit of money installed in the yard of one of the properties.

an adjacent property owned by another individual is being re-roofed and as such their driveway is unusable due to a roofing dumpster.

so they parked in the yard on "our" side of the property line yesterday.

They were asked to move the vehicle and refrain from parking there in the future due to the likelihood of breaking the new sprinkler pipes and heads.

The people moved the vehicle as requested.

at 7:45 this morning... there wasa vehicle parked right back there in the yard again.

its hindsight now.

I called the largest towing company in the county and they said i had a legitimate tow off and would come get the car if that is what the property manager requested.

so they came and got it.

problem now is: The neighbors said it wasnt theirs, and mexicans didnt start bailing off the roof as it was being hooked to a tow truck, so we have no idea whose truck it is at this point.

:doh:

but yeah... it was parked WAY over onto private property.

Well, whomever parked there on private property will learn a hard lesson. Tough sh!tzkis as I see it.

I'm sure someone will tell you soon enough. Then you can tell them where to go get their vehicle.

I'm not 100 percent sure of that but I wouldent want to argue it in court.

Well... its not the act of smashing the crap out of it.

its the act of being caught.

Getting someone elses crap out of your yard your legally entitled to do. However - intentional destruction or harm inflicted on property that you know does not belong to you and you have made no attempt to return it unharmed to its owner - regardless of its location - is vandalism.

Its also childish and disrespectful. Bernard or not - it could have been an innocent mistake (maybe he saw others park there and made an assumption it was ok) - but it is never the mark of an adult to just trash something that isn't theirs - just because they could.

But ummmm. Can't you like, set fire to your lawn, or swing baseball bats around in the air on your own property, and if someone elses car "happened" to be in the way, then bad luck?

Nice one John :up:

Here in the UK if the vehicle was on a public road (a road repaired at public expense) and was blocking for example, my driveway, the Police would move it and charge the vehicles owner with the offence of 'causing an unnecessary obstruction'.

If it was entirely on my private property they would advise it is a civil matter and go see a solicitor.....but if I wrecked it I'd be arrested for criminal damage :doh:

Crazy UK law :DL
