Have an unexpected car parked on my drive. Suspect it's owner attends Suffolk One, the scroats will park añywhere with little consideration for residents.
Do I block him, or her, in or report an abandoned vehicle to Suffolk Police?

Some good advice here. Blocked car in, it was 25 ft from roadway. Walked to Co_op to get paper. While I was out the culprit returned, she was late, couldn't find parking space so left it where she thought it would be OK.
She was lucky I wasn't there. She spoke to son who told her not to do it again. She went back to college and the car is still on driveway, blocked in.
Parking is a big problem around here. At the entrance to our close there are often cars parked, opposite each other ,half on the footpath in the narrow gap between two drives. | |

I'd wait in and when you see them return take them a nice cup of coffee and discuss the reasons why you need access to your drive. |  |

I don't particularly fancy applying dog poo to someones door handles... |
If you are going to be fussy you could wear protective disposable gloves. |  | | |

Think I'd be tempted to prop a large nail up against one of the front tyres so that when they reverse it goes in! Tyre won't be flat when they turn up to drive away and no way they can prove your involvement. |
Have done that with an empty beer can in front of passenger side front wheel. Makes a dreadful noise,gives driver a jolt but no risk of damage. | |

Keep their car blocked in and charge them 20 quid for parking when they come back. If they refuse then tell them that you won’t move your car and that you have cameras so as to prevent them damaging anything |  |

Take the number plates off and stick over yours, fill up with petrol/ drive by shooting/ rob a bank and then place them back.
(Make sure your car is a similar make model to theirs) |  |

Someone I know ripped the number plates off a car parked in his drive before.
I think he just hid them in his house though rather than doing the second part of your plan | |

Unscrew a plate, and put it back on backwards/upside down |  |

I think you know.
That way they leave thinking what a nice man, I won't ever park on his drive again. But you'll know different. | |

Before taking any of the drastic actions helpfully suggested above, double check that you are, in fact, in the correct house. |  |

I parked outside my wife’s parents house in Essex and had my plates nicked, then used on their car in a service station. Don’t think it’s was the father in law. | |

So you're thinking more the mother-in-law instead? | |

Phone the police - say you think some drug dealers have parked their car on your drive as they dropped a load of green stuff wrapped in clingfilm as they ran off....but you don't have a clue what happened to it though.... |  |

Have the same problem here - except I KNOW who it is - the arsehole neighbours who we hate next door. Just parks the car outside ours because his oversized van he barely uses takes up all their drive (and covers most of the pavement so people have to walk in the road). His parents in their oversized cars (they have 3 different ones) also park in front of ours. It really angers me as it's a dropped kerb and they should not park there, but complaining to our landlords does nothing. It's not fair when we have visitors or workmen who need to be parked out here. |  | | |

Put a polite note saying that if this happens again, you'll be blocking them in and leaving them blocked in all day/night.
No need for anything stupid, they know where you live. |  |

Your other options are, 1) if the fuel cap isnt locked put a load of water into the tank and that could cost them a lot to fix or 2) block the exhaust with something, they will drive a short distance and then the engine will cut out it will take time and probably money to work out the cause. |  | | |
