There has been a car abandoned outside my house in Oglander Rd for nearly 3 months now & I'm getting a bit sick of it. The council are not interested in responding either by phone or email & the police don't seem interested either. It's a blue Ford Focus, unlocked & taxed. It's a perfectly good car & much newer than mine, so I presume it's been stolen & dumped.

If anyone has any bright ideas please let me know. If anyone would like to do something with it, it's YJ82 MHD & it's between Marsden & Muschamp.

Oglander

Ultimately there is nothing you can do. Its legally parked and taxed and parked in an area without a CPZ in force. Accordingly I'm afraid you're stuck with it for as long as people can park where they want. The only point you'll get interest is when the tax runs out.


Yet another reason why CPZs are so valuable!

That does not look like a valid registration because of the '82'. The numbers started at '51' and we are currently on '17' i.e. April 2017.

September last year was '66'

If you've given the correct reg it's not a valid one - possibly reporting it to the police as a false plate might increase their interest? Also, how do you know it's taxed? If it has a tax disc showing that it has tax up to date, that's fake too - nobody's had a paper disc issued since September 2014, so maybe that might interest police as well.

YJ52 MHD


✗ Untaxed

Tax due:

24 January 2005


MOT: No details held by DVLA


Vehicle make: FORD

Date of first registration: October 2003

Year of manufacture: 2002

Cylinder capacity (cc): 1388 cc

CO₂Emissions: 158 g/km

Fuel type: PETROL

Export marker: Yes

Vehicle status: Not taxed

Vehicle colour: SILVER


Not taxed since 2005, according to this, unless the plate has been cloned

This could be a valid plate if the J is a 1. Before 2001 year of registration was indicated by a letter at the start of the numberplate. This would then be a Y reg car from the year 2000. However, the 8 may be a 5 as mentioned above.

Think not - Y was March to August 2001, but anyway when they had that system there was a single letter age identifier, then three numbers, then three letters, e.g. Y 123 ABC.


ETA Cross-posted before your edited explanation.

I checked Y152MHD. Not on record.

Funny, I checked that (can't resist these detective efforts) on isitnicked.com and got a 2001 Peugeot 206 which hasn't been taxed since 2016 - plate lifted from a breaker perhaps (if the J is a 1).

My folks had exactly that model - brown vinyl seats to sear the skin of beshorted children in hot weather!

Ah! Thank you. It shouldn't be very important really, it's just a car, but this street is now so full of people with several cars & big ones at that, that we're all getting a bit possessive about space. Silly really to be so petty but - -!
We only got rid of one that had been right outside our house for months (a newish BMW too) when the council re-did the surface of the road and towed cars away. So probably some-one else is cursing it now. I tried to get rid of it, but failed

Sigh. If it had a valid parking permit, it could sit there for 12 months.


If you've ever lived in a CPZ, you'd be glad we don't.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
