I knew who the car belonged to, but the police checks showed it was registered to someone else, and they denied all knowledge when we knocked on their door - the look on his face when the police shoved it on the back of a lorry was well worth it.
It is an offence to block a vehicle in - there are very few reasonable reasons for this.

Apparently - and I choose the word carefully - it is not an offence to park across a drive entrance if there is no vehicle on the drive, but it is if there is (if you see what I mean). Also, apparently, it is not actually an offence to park across a dropped kerb except in the London area - whatever that may officially encompass. I'm open to correction......
