So no real harm done, but you don't expect to see a total stranger just park up on your lawn.
It's double yellow, all wheels are on my lawn so the footpath is clear.
I just wouldn't dream of it.

They'd be coming back to find my van and my wife's car parked a fag paper's width from their bumpers............

As there is a street sign in the background, I'll be round later to sort him out, and if it's gone, I'll nick your bikes instead.

And in answer to your question, no I wouldn't, cheeky git!

Er, no I wouldn't park on someone's lawn.
Have you got a valve core extractor?? 😈

It's a car which automatically removes normal restrictions, just be grateful your dog/child isn't underneath it.

Quick, build a rockery around it.

Cheeky bar steward! I'd have to have words

Roll it into your garage and shut the door, it was clearly meant as a gift.

or

MOVE IT in shaving foam all over the windows.

Tip it on its side so you can mow the lawn 😈

No, I would not park on someones lawn.

I'd be busy stripping it for parts before bumping it into the middle of the road.

Don't move the car...perhaps instead build a rockery and a strategically placed water feature or two.

Or put a "for sale" sign on it.

I live directly opposite a primary school and 50 yards down the road from the village church. Apparently a circular must have gone around that I missed that said it was just dandy to park across or sometimes in our drive at kiddy dropping off and picking up time or for a session of god bothering. The Vic still hasn't spoken to me since I interrupted a Christmas morning service to ask the asshat who blocked us in to move his sodding car 100m down the road where there was acres of space so we could get on with our Christmas day and that it wasn't really a very Christian thing to do. I'll let you guess the make of car, you'll get it in two.

No, I wouldn't park like that.
But how obvious is it that it's a garden, and not a grass verge?

Truly shocking I'd leave an angry letter on the screen or make it my duty to see them when they get in the car

Looking at the type of car I wouldn't be surprised if it's a SCROTABILITY car (motability), and they'll just use the old "I'm disabled" card

Check the tax disc see of it says disabled on it with NIL on the value, not that this should allow somebody to park there anyways but they are a law to themselves!

If all of that isn't true, then I'd say maybe it doesn't look like a garden as such like said above

I'd be fuming. I'd report it as dumped to the police, cheeky bastards.

Could you not chain it up and charge a £900 release fee?

I hate the disabled fakers indeed, sadly that makes up about half the amount in the country see it first hand everyday in order to bag themselves a nice brand new car just like that one above

And if they are disabled it doesn't make it right to park on someone's garden 😆

A3 sheet of paper with "this is not a parking space" in size 80 - wet it with water and stick it to the screen at drivers eye level

It's got me thinking now...

If someone parks on your private property, would you be breaking any law if you were to take off every re moveable part, laying them neatly by the side of the car? Windscreen wipers, bumpers, wheels, etc?

Let's say it was a service you provided for all your guests...

Or if you crashed into it...... Its private property after all not accessable by all and treated as a public road......

Thinking about it - i think id just break out the trolley jack and axel stands .... Stick it 1 inch off the ground with an axel stand on every corner 🙂

Half the amount in the country? Hmm...

See it first hand every day? Course you do. 🙄

And if they are disabled it doesn't make it right to park on someone's garden

Lucky no-one's said that then. It's you that's invented this whole imaginary scenario where the person is a pretend-disabled fraudster, purely based on the car being a Berlingo. 😆

Cheeky mares. I'd be very tempted to block them in with another car or something equally unmovable.

Time to light your annual Easter bank-holiday bonfire. Right under that car someone's abandoned.

Got a decent piece of wood? Got a trolley jack? Is the car in neutral? Find the centre jack points, jack the front and angle it toward where you want it, then lower and jack the rear and push it to where it should be.

You just want it gone, not make it more difficult to remove.

Also, is the petrol cap locked? If not, drain it!

A full new thread with 'as it happens' pictures of the OP dismantling it down to a chassis on breeze-blocks would be lovely.
