Is the car still parked in your front lawn? It's dark now outside, and i will be in bed soon. Need to know before then. Cheers

They snuck off whilst I was plotting my 400km audax route
You should have stuck some "police aware" tape on it. That would surely results in it being completely stripped within 2hours.

Pray tell how did you find that out? 😉

Brilliant..
Bit of a difference between an overstay in a designated parking area and dumping your car on someone's lawn.
Really? In law?
Whilst I have the utmost sympathy for the OP afaik the law is that he has to demonstrate some financial loss caused by the parker of the said vehicle(if he can trace him) then sue him in court as per the parking ticket threads.I'm sure those advocating illegality and vandalism wouldn't expect this to happen to them if they parked in Lidl and didn't shop there would they? And one of the comments on a parking ticket thread about how to prevent parking on private land is build a fence and put up a locked gate.

Jacking the car up and sitting the front on axle stands would be good
I had someone blocking my drive a little while ago. I'm actually really keen on finding some of those skateboard/board-on-coaster type things to jack up cars and put them down on. I could then move cars out of the way.
Would be nice if you could wheel it onto the double yellows, then call the parking wardens

There's always one fun sponge!

My dad used to araldite (the two tubes you had to mix) an A4 piece of paper over the drivers section of the windscreen, saying "move your **** car"...
Preventing people from easily driving away would seem counterproductive.
That is a good point, wouldn't stop me getting a sheet of white, S/A paper, (crack-back variety, of which I have some), and sticking that on the driver's side screen, with a suitable message on it. Reversed, so the driver can read it inside.
Even better would be a fat paint-marker like taggers use, and write in mirror writing a message across the screen.
Not too difficult to remove from glass, but should give the idiot something to think about.

No, but this fud would.
A mate in Oz who's handy on a trials bike used to ride over cars parked in the bike lane.
If it happens again call me and I'll get my boy (in the force) to get their address. You can then stick a note on the screen saying Marcus will be around shortly. That's the way to do it!

I feel I have always hideously disappointed you njee20 😥

Fine, except that many estates do not allow the fencing off of front gardens in any way, they have to be kept open plan, which rather spoils that idea.
Gah - the last thing you need after building a fence to impound a car parked unexpectedly on your lawn is for some inbred to stick a post-it on it reminding you of the planning laws. 🙁
what you really need is one of these
