A woman claims that she got costly revenge on her neighbours after they selfishly parked nine of their cars down a small residential street. The woman took matters into her own hands after the motorists parked two of their vehicles directly outside of her home for an extended period despite having an empty driveway.

Taking to popular forum Reddit, the anonymous woman explained how her revenge left the neighbours £90,000 out of pocket. She raged: "My neighbours have nine cars total parked in the street. They always park two of those cars in front of my house and won't move them the whole week."

She went on: "We have a regulation where we live that you can't leave your car parked for more than 48 hrs in the same spot.

"My neighbors have a pretty big driveway where they can fit four cars, but it's always empty. They have told me they don't like to leave their driveway with cars because it looks tacky.

"Over half the cars they have they don't even use them. They just use them to safe parking spots for themselves.

"In 2021 I noticed they were building a second unit at the back of their main house. I noticed that they completed the house in under a month. This raised some red flags because it takes anywhere from 2-3 months with city inspections taking the majority of the time.

"I submitted a ticket with my city through the app and advised them that there might be some illegal residential building without permit. I didn't think of it much until a year later.

"I noticed my neighbours tearing down their second unit last week. Word got around our block that a city inspector was there making sure everything was being torn down.

"Based on the materials and labour they put into their second unit I cost them over $100,000 (£90,000)," the woman added.

Flocking to the comment section, one person wrote: "The driveway thing sounds stupid. Never thought of it being tacky to have cars parked in a driveway. Unless the cars are beaters."

Meanwhile, someone else suggested the woman took one step further: "Accidentally scatter bird seed around their parked cars every day."
