What would you do if a stranger kept parking in your reserved parking spot at your apartment building?

If you didn’t own a car, would you let them park there, or would you want them to move their car?

In this story, one man is facing this dilemma, and he’s not sure if he’s considering doing something too extreme or not.

Let’s read the whole story.

WIBTA: Someone stole my parking space

So I (24m) recently brought an apartment in the center of a medium sized city around 6 months ago.

One of the reasons why I chose it was because of the dedicated parking. It’s off the street and private property (clearly marked) but there’s nothing physically stopping people from parking there.

Recently (as the title suggests) someone has begun parking in my space, I wasn’t sure if they were from the same building or not so I put a message on the building group chat (which everyone’s in) and no one knew the car.

He doesn’t have a car, but it’s still his parking spot.

Now I don’t actually own a car and don’t really use the space but I might one day and when some of my friends/family visit me they drive here and having that space is handy.

Because of this I put a note on their car explaining how they’re not allowed to park there and should really move.

This was a month ago and nothing had changed.

He isn’t sure how to handle the situation.

I had some family wanting to visit in a week or so and the car is still there.

There is a policy where if a car is not registered to a space/building and the owner of the parking space wants it gone then the company managing the parking area can remove the car.

Would this be too extreme, or is this justified?

He would definitely be justified! He needs to have the car towed.

It is illegally parked.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

This person thinks the answer is very obvious.

If the car is towed, the car owner might learn their lesson.

Now, I can’t help but picture a lemonade stand in a parking spot. It’s a funny image!

He didn’t even have to leave a note.

Some people are too nice.
