Wouldn't it be something if that contractor had nowhere to park when they show up this week because your neighbors backed you up and parked legally in front of their homes? Maybe the Landscaper would end up parking a block away. Maybe the Landscaper will come this week knowing they did you dirty and apologizes and corrects their behavior. I wonder if the contractor has shown proof of insurance to the customer they were servicing? I wonder if the registration on the Truck & Trailer are up to date.
It was a great idea to go find the contractor of course that is if the Blockee is physically capable of doing so. |

Lets hear an explanation from someone who's retired from law enforcement
Any retired policemen here ?

My reaction is based on my belief that if a law enforcement officer says something, that something should be respected, direction followed and that is that. They have no reason in this instance to be "against" the OP. I still feel we are missing some valuable piece of information, or some valuable part of the conversation or something. I will continue to have faith in law enforcement until something valid changes my mind.

I’ve had to tell my landscaper to move his car from in front of my neighbors driveway once or twice.
Maybe speaking with the neighbor who’s getting serviced asking them nicely to have their contractor to move would work better. |

Perhaps it would be best if that message was shared with the landscapers. As a side note, we were the only home out of many who did not have a contract with that company since we had contracted with the landscaping company who designed and maintained our beautiful yard. |

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill, what’s wrong with simply pushing the “in the street mower” out of the way? Weird law to enforce, in my mind. I also don’t understand the shot asking the OP from where he originated. Last edited by Aces4; 08-12-2019 at 10:36 AM. |

I have to side with the OP on this based on his story. I would have done the same thing, look for the landscapers, and if I couldn't find them, push the mowers out of the way to a safe location. No harm, no foul. No intent to harm the equipment and my driveway is no longer blocked, seems like a no brainier.

Hats off to the OP if he was able to push a zero turn up the ramp and onto a trailer without getting a hernia.

OK. Everyone agrees that they should not have parked there. But, the OP did not have the right to move the mower. It was on the street, not on his property. That is the question he is asking - "Was I wrong for moving the mower". Yes it is an inconvenience that many of us have gone through. But you just have to go looking for them to move it.
When someone does something wrong, that does not give you the right to do something wrong back. We all taught our children that. |

I agree OP should not have touched the mower. Never touch anyone elses property regardless.
But, and there is always a but. He if the person that came to his door was not the owner of the company, he should start a campaign to blast the company on the interest. I have no problem with them parking on the roads. They have to park somewhere. But they do NOT have to block driveways. PERIOD. The people should be aware of that companies actions and and they should pay for being rude with negative publicity. Frank |

I would think that the people that dropped them mowers off should be smart enough to not put them at the end of someone’s driveway! That is not a good move to begin with!!! What if an emergency would have occurred?? Use your head people!!!
