A man is fuming at his 'selfish' neighbour who parks his 14 cars right outside his house. He says his neighbour treats their street like his "own garage", filling up all the space with his old motors. He's had enough and wants to teach him a lesson, but he's unsure whether to involve the law. Sharing his frustration on Reddit, he said: "My neighbour has 14 cars and is using the street as his personal garage, taking away parking from the other neighbours."
"My neighbour owns over a dozen vehicles and might be running a curbstoning/car flipping operation. These vehicles are taking up nearly all of the street parking on our road, some haven't been moved since November." "His misuse of parking is a nuisance for the neighbourhood, forcing us to park further away." Not sure how to deal with this, he asked Reddit users: "Is there anything I can do?"
One user replied: "Good luck. We had a neighbour literally put stakes in cinderblocks in public parking in front of his house to block it off for himself (while always leaving his large driveway wide open). "It took a year and a half of complaining to DOT (department of transport) to get them to get him to remove them. The guy is a total jerk too and threatened us whenever we asked him to move them.

Another person commented: "Report all his cars. It's likely they've all passed the 72 hour limit. He'll stop after his third car gets towed." A third chimed in: "The 11th car would be war for me, bless your soul. This guy does not give a s*** about you or your neighbours and has considered that he is p***ing everyone off and does not care. No reason to talk to this guy."

"He knows he is being an ass and probably does not have anywhere else to put these cars even if asked politely." Another added: "Report any vehicles that are there longer than 72 hours on Find It Fix It. Report any vehicles with expired tabs to parking enforcement. Report use of the home as a business to DPD code enforcement."
