He did inform me that the vehicle was a rental car which brings to question the issue of why someone would pay rental fee and leave a car sit for two days.
I then called Community Watch who informed me that if the car was not blocking an intersection, a fire hydrant or someone's driveway, there was nothing they could do.
I put a note on the windshield of the car requesting that the car be parked in the visitor parking and that if the person had an issue with that, I would be happy to "discuss" it with them. I provided my name and address as well as phone number.
I also polled the immediate neighbors and they do not know whose car it is.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can do?
Thanks
The Police and Community Watch have both told you the rental car isn't parked illegally.
And you said it isn't blocking your driveway.
I must be missing something - I don't understand why the rental car is causing a problem for you.
As Bonny suggested, I'd take the note off the windshield.
