When you own a private driveway for your property, you want to make sure that your parking spots are not taken up by people who should not be there.

What would you do if a person parked in one of your spots and when you nicely asked them to move, they got upset and flipped you off without ever moving their car?

That is what happened to the property owner in this story, so he got a tow truck involved and things spiraled out of control for the rude driver.

Check it out.

After parking in my space and being asked to move, she flipped me off and told me to “do something about it.” Yes ma’am!

I followed a Subaru Legacy onto my tiny (less than 1,000 feet long, only about 12′ wide in some places) private road.

The car then pulled into my driveway.

As I waited thinking this person was just lost and turning around, which happens quite a bit.

But a woman got out of her car and started to walk past me.

Albeit a strange driveway/parking area as it’s across the street from me, it is still my property.

It’s not just in front of my house where I have some misguided claim at some type of possession due to its relative location from that house.

Clearly it is their property.

It was presented that way by the realtor 26 years ago, shows up on city records, is on the surveys done back then and recently, and it’s on the deeds.

Every single portion of the pavement that makes up this private way was put on top of someone’s deeded property.

I also spent over $10,000 having it professionally built up, leveled, and then paved.

It’s mine, and it’s for my vehicles, including my work vehicle when I had one, my tenants, and our guests.

I didn’t do all of this to be denied access by anyone.

Never wanting to assume arrogance, I treat everyone with the respect I would want them to treat me with.

I put down the window and politely said “Excuse me, but that’s my spot. Could you move your car?”

to which I received a middle finger and told to “do something about it”.

I said “That’s at least a hundred bucks!”

(It was $125 once the car hit the impound yard).

She proceeded to go to her friend’s car, and drive away.

Instead of my (now former) neighbor whose knowledge of the property lines has been clearly established by her arrogance in the past telling her friend to move, they disappeared down the road.

I then drove up to take the LAST available spot on my property, leaving nothing for one of my tenants despite there being FIVE empty spots at her friend’s house.

She really should have known.

She drove onto a private street passing a “Private Way” sign, multiple “No Trespassing”, “No Parking”, “Parking for Residents Only”, and other variants of those signs, to her druggie friend’s dirty apartment in a run-down house.

Saw her friend parked in the dirt parking area, passed the empty spot before her friend, passed her friend’s car, passed 2–3 more empty spots next to her friend, passed two more cars, and parked in the clean paved area in front of the clean, well maintained house next door.

She then was asked politely to move and chose to be a jerk instead.

About a half hour later, the car was towed and impounded.

About 6 hours after that she’s banging at my door, got told to leave, refused, and was eventually removed forcibly by the police.

She was also told to never return.

She did return and was promptly arrested.

What she DIDN’T do, however, was ever even attempt contact the impound yard to get her UNCLE’S car back.

That is a crazy fee.

About 50 days later (I remember the fees were just under $2,000), in lieu of payment, her uncle handed over the Subaru keys and signed the title over to the impound yard

My friend’s impound yard.

It takes about 6 weeks for a new title to come in, and the impound yard was getting overcrowded.

Since I had just sold my black Impala and now had an empty spot, I offered to store the car at my house until the title came in.

He did drop it off around a week later, but the title came in quicker than usual.

I’m sure she was very angry.

I never got the opportunity to see her face, but I would imagine it was priceless.

BY THE WAY: Since I see so many people who think I’m such a jerk, I assure you I am only one when warranted.

Whenever I’ve actually had to ask a new visitor to move is because we were running out of space AND I was outside when they were still here AND I was never disrespectful.

In 26 years we’ve asked around 100 people to move, and only ever had 2 cars towed.

The other one was here for about a week and no one claimed it.

I know of plenty of other properties that ask twice that many people to move per year and have dozens of cars towed.

If you can actually tell me you would just leave someone like that alone after they passed the signs, got politely asked to move, and then flipped you off and yelled at you to “do something about it”, then kudos to you.

I asked politely.

She could have responded politely.

She had a bad attitude and got what was coming to her.

Take a look at what the people in the comments had to say.

This would have been the kind thing to do.

Yup, a better attitude would have saved her.

This person recommends better signage too.

Yeah, the uncle is the real victim.

This person thinks the fees were reasonable.

He could have made it clearer that it was private parking.

But also she could have been nicer.
