Got to our Havasu house tonight around 9:00, and someone has parked their RV in my driveway! It’s parked next to the “no trespassing” sign, I couldn’t imagine just leaving any of my vehicles in someone else’s driveway! What would you guys do? I thought I should put it on Marketplace for free? Call LHC pd and see if they will tow? There’s no license plate, stolen? Motor homeless in my yard?

In my hood if you call the police about a MH in your driveway or in front of your house they don’t take notice.

If it’s me, I’m calling 911, telling them I heard shots, and see where the cards fall. Hopefully they tow it away after the robot smashes it!!

Rural living, so not that would happen here.
HOWEVER. If it was in my driveway, I'd sling it and tow it away, probably the nearest shopping center.
Done it before.
Wrecker lifts it, it's gone.
I'm an asshole that way.
Without the wrecker, 7fuckin3 and a chain. I've got this. No fukks given.

It would be resolved.

Just sayin'

So, I knocked on the door of the only neighbor that I thought it could be, I’ve never met him nor have I seen a motorhome at his place, no answer. My wife did call the police, when he got here,he said “I have never seen this happen before “, super cool and chill cop. He ended up doing an abonded vehicle report and said to give it 48 hours and call back for a tow truck. I’m not a very patient guy and I’m a bit of an ass when it comes to respecting private property.I hope the jackass owner comes around this morning, I’m ready for the fight.

I would have already drug that shit down the street. Any normal person would have left a note with a phone number on the dash.😉

If it is on private property, and blocking your driveway, he could have towed it, with your signature on the tow form. Leaving a 48 hour card is for the roadway. I've had inconsiderate neighbors park on my driveway, blocking in my boat, which pisses me off, but being neighbors, I can't get too pissed at them and just try to keep my cool since they are neighbors. Inconsiderate, but still neighbors.

So, I would have loved to tow it out of there on my own, however, that’s not very realistic, my corvette doesn’t have a high enough towing capacity and my I doubt my baby duramax would do very well dragging that big piece of crap out of the driveway. The coward who owns it moved it out of my driveway between 3:30 and 5:00 this morning and put it in another one of our weekend neighbors driveway. I can’t wait to see who it is and confront him. Major douche in my opinion

Maybe he had the wrong address. This is weird. I’d move further away than a few houses.

When I lived on the north end of Havasu, showed up to two jet ski's on a trailer in my driveway. I asked the neighbors that I'm friendly with and nobody knew who they belonged to. I made sure the street was clear and sent them on their way. They made it about four houses down and stopped against the curb. A few hours later they were gone and later that afternoon they were in a driveway further down the street. Problem solved and nobody ever came to talk to me about it.

5 years ago my parents sold their motorhome to some couple. My parents kept it parked at their house in the driveway. New owners hand over the payment then tell my parents they'll be living in it, in my parents driveway for a week before they take off. I was like tell them to get the thing out of there and they need to take whatever their problems are somewhere else. Anyways a week later they finally left. I was weird they did that. They appeared well off and could afford to drive it to a camp site somewhere. They bought a Country Coach and were driving a newer Superduty.

I’ve never heard of people parking in someone’s driveway? I’m guessing it’s a havasu thing being that there are many vacation homes ?

About 25 years ago I rode my bike back from school and there is a SeaDoo XP in the driveway. I'm totally excited. My parents come home and are like who's seadoo is this? My mom calls her brother and he said it was his but theirs now and asked when they can pay him for it. They were looking for one anyways and got a good deal on it.

Itll be a bitch to pull if you can’t get it out of gear. Kick the door in and see if you can get it in neutral. Hell, check around under the cabinets, or along the frame, etc, for a set of keys. Might be as easy as that, and just drive it down the street.

@Cousineddy

I'm guessing one of your neighbors needed a spot and didn't think you would be around to notice it. That is some fucked up entitled shit right there, unless this is something you have allowed in the past.

Anytime you have an abandoned vehicle on your property you can have it towed at the owners expense. The tow yard will simply take it, put a lean on it, and sell it off if never recovered.

You have far more patience than I would have in that scenario. After checking with the neighbors you actually talked to, that thing would have been gone. Breaking into an abandoned vehicle on your own property is not a crime... just an fyi.

This is what I’m thinking happened, and I agree that it’s some serious entitlement. I’ve been here every Thur-Sunday for 10 weeks in a row, I haven’t let anyone use the driveway (I would if asked) however, if I came home last night and had my racecar on a trailer or boat this would’ve been an entirely different situation,because I couldn’t have gotten in the driveway.Just pissed me off more than anything.

I got a call one time from our HOA president complaining about fireworks from the night before.
We where on vacation. Asshat neighbors had a party and thought we wouldn't mind if they lit fireworks off and allow their guests to park at my place. Some people.

I used to wonder why people put those plastic yellow chains across their driveways 🤷‍♂️

So, about 2 years ago it seemed like we had several people turning around in our driveway, or coming to the front door,we could see that on our cameras. I made a nice sign that I put out every time we leave that says “private property no trespassing “ and it has really helped, this motorhome douche parked right next to the sign. I’d hate to put up a chain as I think the sign is pretty tacky, but if this becomes a thing I definitely will.

I had to add the chains at the river pad. I can't even count how many times I would show up and have the next door neighbor blocking my driveway not even leaving enough room to walk by to get to the door. Like 6" from the rail with his boat behind. So it was like 60' to walk around to unload. First week with the chains I show up and he hit the pole I set in concrete to hold the chain. Tells me I owe him for the repair. And what were the chains for. Chains are so no one steals my skis.

Too bad you couldn't pin it in, Make him come and confront you.
We've had it happen at the trailer park when a full resident will use my driveway, I've parked across so they can't get out and then been unavailable for an hr or so when they need to get somewhere.

After putting a chain up we got sour looks but my awning pillars don't get bent up and no oil stains any more. It's a shame people have no respect.

You don't need to kick anything in, take a big crow bar and wedge it in right next to the door handle. Pry on the crow bar and the door will pop open. MH doors don't have much structure to them and are mostly foam. It is pretty easy to deform it enough the latch no longer engages.

With my luck, some crackheads would move into the pile and I’d be stuck with it! And them!

as mentioned, hook a tow strap or cable to it and drag it off your property then call LEO.
