TL;DR
She got his car towed and him fined.
A lot of people would agree that it’s quite important to have a good relationship with your neighbors as you never know when you’re going to need a helping hand from them
One Reddit user decided to share how she got involved in a dreadful dispute with her neighbors
The woman gave some background information about her neighborhood and people’s parking habits as it is important to the story
The author of the post added that she has met the family that just moved in next door
The woman presented the main “characters” of the story that took some time to unfold
One day, her next-door neighbor came to her to talk about his son getting his first car
The man asked if his son could park his car in her driveway because it’s a big car and they don’t have enough space in their own property
The woman disagreed with this because she uses her driveway and doesn’t find it acceptable for him to park there
The author of the post made it clear that she wouldn’t allow the truck to be parked in her driveway and couldn’t even believe she was asked such a thing
She even sent an email to HOA about the situation just to have it on the record
The situation escalated further when the woman had to go see a doctor because one of her kids was sick
She was about to leave the house when she saw that her driveway was blocked by neighbor’s truck
She went to the neighbors and made it clear once again that he couldn’t park his car there and that if it happened again, his truck will be towed
Later, the woman had to go to see the doctor once again because her kid wasn’t feeling that well
Once she was back, she saw that the “famous” truck was once again in her driveway
There was no other way but to call the tow truck service and get the car removed
The next morning, when the neighbor couldn’t find the car, he came to the woman’s house and was furious after finding out that it was towed
The neighbor called the police on the woman but she was ready to talk about the situation as she had all the evidence
She showed all the emails, pictures, and a video that showed how her neighbors trespassed her property and harassed her
The woman filed a report on trespassing, notified her HOA once again on the situation and waited to see how this situation would end
The woman didn’t get any shocking outcome from the situation but was happy to see how many people became invested in this story
The woman provided users online with a final update by telling that the neighbor received a $150 fine
It was also added that the family finally decided to sell the truck and buy a smaller car for their son

That is potentially a far worse offense ("malicious mischief to a vehicle" maybe, depending on the interpretation) than parking on someone's lawn and might actually end up with you being charged and/or paying for "damages" on top of the AHole neighbour getting the high moral ground as "the victim".
What would have been potentially a lot more effective is repeated complaints to homeowners association which could, depending on their bylaws, force a sale of the property.
HOA in my apartment building has a 3 strikes rule, it had to be invoked once in the 70-ish years my HOA was operated because most people just need to be reminded that that particular section of the bylaw exists and is binding to make them behave.
You should. Entertaining and worth it.
I did, fascinating read.
I doubt it, the second time it happened the dad's anger was deflated as it was the son's fault for lying to him about where he parked his truck. The neighbors haven't bothered her at the time she posted the updates, and they even sold the truck and bought a small car. I bet the ND is smart enough to know that the next time they have to go before a judge it won't go so easy.
"My aggressive neighbor parked on my private property without permission many times. I had it towed and the police charged him. He now has a small truck."
Accompany this with pictures and voila.
