The second one happened at 12:40am, they obviously don't have much to do since there were watching for the tow truck.

This is why I face one nice car and one beat up huge jeep. I wouldnt hesitate to push a car out from behind my garage with my piece of sh*%.

It think in this city it has come to the point where people just do not care about their fellow Calgarians.

The neighbours on one side of my house I think I have said 5 words to since we moved in 2-1/2 years ago.

The house on the other side had a neighbour that would **** me off.. he was a nice enough guy but did stupid things. He had a beat up old truck that was always parked infront of my house.. he parked between the two driveways so there was not roon enough to park another vehicle if I had visitors and the truck never moved!.. allthough that's not too bad.. just annoying. The thing that drove me nuts is that in the summer he would literally mow half of my grass. I know usually you can go over 1 mower length becuase of the sidewalk to the back yard and all that.. but he would mow right up to my front steps a good 8ft from his property line.. I never understood it.. almost like he was a dog ****ing on a tree trying to extend his property. the summer before last I put up one of those little garden fences.. about a 4 foot length right at the edge of my property line at the front fence and he did not go past it.. but funny enough when I took it out in mid september pending the coming of winter he started mowing half my grass again????

Anyhow.. he moved out about six months ago and the older divorcee lady that moved in next door is awesome... allthough last weekend she went out of town and her kid came over to house sit and parked his POS car hanging 5ft over my driveway forfing me to zigzag around out of the driveway If she wasn't such a nice lady I would have had her kids car towed

This is another reason not to do anything really naughty. Although I have always wanted to fill a vehicle with expanding foam.

Well I think we have a fantastic plan of action for next time something like this happens;

- fantastic day glow spray paint
- that imitation deer/elk/moose pee that hunters use; carefully sprayed in copious amounts up their vents.
- Filling up the car with expanding foam
- wrapping it in Suran? wrap
- wet toilet paper all over it

An open can of tuna, carefully placed, is ALWAYS a good time

Although, I understand your frustration etc. but I would be careful about writing down things you could do next time, especially things that could damage property .. what if something bad really did happen to these people or their car? These sort of comments could come back to haunt you. Not everyone would see this thread in jest it is meant to be..

I would stick to calling the tow truck, or even making an effort to talk to your neighbor and see if you could smooth out the feathers.

Just my little FYI

what happens when you go over to the house to tell them to move and not park there again?

Don't fill up the car with spray foam. Thats way too expensive. Just spray it into the seam of the doors. That stuff is really sticky LOL

They ignore you and pretend they aren't home. However the telltale sign is when the curtains move and you can hear the TV being put on mute.

Well the second car was back again this morning, but on the other side of the alley right across from the garage. I think the first one is still impounded!
