i been parking my 125 in the garden for the past year or so now. my house is situated on the corner of my street, and as such my garden door is on the side of my house. this is a problem as i can not always get out. heres a pic.

iv thought about simply putting a "keep clear" sign out, but people would only ignore it, and just last year my neighbour had his bike nicked from his garden, and i dont want any chavs seeing the sign and getting any ideas. i also thought about putting an obstacle in the way, but cant think of anything practical.

if anyone out there can think of a solution, i would be eternally grateful.

Put up a clear sign saying:

"Large council wheelie-bins and industrial-waste carts are placed and removed through this gate on a continual daily basis. Please be aware that if your vehicle is parked too close it may sustain damage for which the council and contractors will not be liable"

Make the sign look legit and it should work most of the time. If somebody does ignore it, mark their motor.

Report the cars parking on the pavement they'll get a ticket and stop, the pavement is "the reserve of the pedestrian". Thumbs Up

Buy a wreck of a car and park it there under a cover.

Pant a T'd off white line outside, those = points,

if you put:

Disabled access

No Parking

etc

it'll just encourage people to park there even more.

Ifit's the same culprits parking there, how about letting the air out one of their tyres (a different one every time). You're not really "damaging" the car but causes them as much of an inconvenience as it does you. Twisted Evil

They'll get the message and park elsewhere and hopefully tell others not to park there also. Karma
