Debbie Flynn and her partner Leon discovered the silver Vauxhall Mokka outside her garage, which is very close to Birmingham International Airport. Mom was left speechless by the incident and called the police, who confirmed that the car had not been stolen. However, the police also confirmed that the couple is powerless to move the vehicle that violates, as it is a civil case, reports the Mirror Online. Debbie’s house is just five miles from the airport and she believes her road has been sold to a holidaymaker through a parking app fraud. Debbie told Birmingham Live: “It’s like the car fell from the sky. It is an absolute mystery. “We do not understand how or why this happened, but since the owner did not return all week, we suspect it’s due to someone who sold a space in my car near the airport.” He continued: “We went to bed at around 10.30pm on Tuesday night and when my partner woke up the next morning, he was parked on our street. “The arrogant g ** s opened my gate and parked it and closed the gates after leaving it on the grass.

I’m angry because there is no law forbidding anyone to park while driving. “It’s perfectly legal, so the police can not help. However, if we tried to move it and destroy it, then we would have committed a criminal offense. “Children can not even play outside the car now, in case they kick a ball or something like that and accidentally destroy it.” Because a road is part of a property, anyone who parks on it is technically considered a violation. This is a civil offense, not a criminal one, explained John Charnock of Stress Free Car Rental. He also said that if a car has updated MOTs, tax, insurance and is not able to pose a risk to anyone around, the council is also powerless to move it. Debbie has appealed to Facebook, but no one has appeared. The tire is chained, so if and when the driver returns, they will have to knock on her door and explain why they parked there. Debbie added: “Police say there are parking apps used by scammers who advertise unsuspecting people’s lanes as parking lots and charge car owners a fee. I want answers – when, how, why and to whom did you pay?

It’s an absolute joke. “I’m furious and disgusted that any Tom, Dick and Harry can park in your driveway and there is nothing you can do about it.” Do not miss the latest news from all over Scotland and beyond – Subscribe to our daily newsletter here.
