‘Called 911, they ran the plates said it’s “not stolen,” and since it’s on my property they can’t impound it.
‘Called 5 towing companies, they said they can’t tow it because it’s not my car and I don’t have an “account” with them and without proper towing signs they’d be liable for grand theft auto.

One person suggested: “First, block them in with your car.
“They will have to come and knock on your door to get their car out.
“Then ask them why they thought it was OK to park in a private driveway?”
Another said: “Smash the window and let the handbrake off. Push it onto the road and the police will have to remove it.”

lifeenthusiast85 then replied: ‘I’m scared to park my car sideways behind theirs because I don’t know who it is and I don’t want them to ram my car or do any damage to my home/car.
‘Same thing with breaking the car’s window. I don’t want to give them a reason to be pissed off at me.
‘I called police again they were upset I’m calling them back and basically said tough luck it’s on your property.’
