Thread: Parking and Neighbour ??

I think they need to describe it as 'abandoned' though for the gardaí to take notice. Mentioning that kids have been sniffing around won't do any harm either.

Ceist Beag I don't agree completely. I believe that the type of person who does what the OP is decribing is different to the majority... most people don't put notes on cars in this situation.
