Overview

• After months of unauthorised parking despite repeated requests, a homeowner blocked a neighbour’s car behind theirs and left for a weekend getaway.
• The Reddit post detailing the stunt has drawn dozens of comments with users sharing support and similar tales of neighbourhood revenge.
• According to the RAC, driving onto someone else’s private driveway amounts to civil trespass, meaning police cannot make arrests in such cases.
• Homeowners have the option to pursue a civil trespass claim or a nuisance action to remove vehicles, though court proceedings can be lengthy and costly.
• The incident underscores how minor property disputes often play out through informal self-help measures and social media rather than formal legal channels.
