Well were on the net where anybody can read this, so I will say I dont condone your actions........LOL I will also say, he got off easy in my book.

Many many years ago, I had a "friend of a friend, brothers, uncle" who kept getting blocked in at the local park and ride......one night he got dropped off a 3am half drunk....guess what, he was blocked in again......LOL(darn its been 20 years and im still sitting here typing still laughing about it) jumped in his lifted ford bronco and proceeded to drive right up over the trunk and half way accross the roof of this little fart box that kept blocking him in.......sorry man i woulda paid to see that dudes face when he got there to pick up his car.

hey I know its wrong, but I was 16, and sat there in disbelief when it happened.

I say good for you. You tried to be professional about it after it got to a point of being annoying. Just as was said earlier you can only let it go so long before you're being walked all over. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. Hopefully they're intimidated enough to not do any retaliation.

It doesn't have to be hooked up, just visible to the possible vandal.

I have solved two problems at my work location so far with fake cameras.
You can get them at Harbor Freight for less than $10.

Ime gona bet its not the poopin type of mule. I may be wrong but I would suspect its a Kwasaki Mule. Like I said i may be wrong but thats the way i took it. That and if you look at his gallery pics he is in a large city and dont apear to be the mule(non Kawasaki) ryding type but I have been wrong before.


No it is a livin breathing mule the perticular one I was talkin about is named Kip and if it was legal I would marry him. There is also Johnny, Lester, Peanut, QT, Lightning, Socks, Nelly, Bubba, and of course Beverage. Also their nothing is more I hate worse than the sound of and ATV. I work in the city.

Well, when I left this evening I put a note on the car: "I had your car moved as it was blocking my truck in".

I'm not worried that I damaged the car as I was hooked to a tow point, not any suspension or driveline component. And even if I ended up having to replace the tranny because the parking paw broke or something, I think it was worth it.

The only bad thing is, you left a note. So now, they have proof that it was more than likely you that moved their car. Your messing with personal property. Theres probably something in the laws that says you cant do that. Not worth it if you ask me.

I would get their license plate /registration number so YOU know who you are dealing with...goes a long way to have them know no damage to your truck will be blamed on ANYONE else but them.

If any damage can be claimed, anything less than 1,000 bucks can be covered under the Good Samaritan law as they were parked illegally and you HAD to leave due to safety. don't let idiots get to ya, better things in life to worry about LOL...

I say... GREAT! It time people stand up and stop taking crap from the self centered idiots of the world. I'm sick of it myself. I'm considerate of other people and expect the same in return.

I WOULD HAVE DONE THE VERY SAME THING, maybe even drug it out of the garage and down the street. The owner of the car would then know that the world doesn't actually revolve around him/her and even though mommy may have told them they were special...they aren't.

Way to go, glad to see some still have edit!

John Wayne in the Shootist as John Bernard Books:
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

You couldn't have pulled them away.. your truck was blocked in afterall.

Obviously the tow vehicle had to be on the opposite side of where you were parked.
