Driver left “shaken” after finding a threatening note on her car for parking outside a house – but people are divided
A DRIVER was left “shaken” after finding a threatening note on her car for parking in front of someone’s house.
The letter, written all in capital letters, was posted on the front screen of the motorist’s car in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
An anonymous poster on a Royton Facebook group said that their mother-in-law had found the note on her car on Saturday.
It reads: “Tin opener available at 81 or 83. Next time you need to leave your car for more than a couple of hours, pay for a car park and refrain from taking valuable parking spaces outside my home!!
“Next time, the can opener may not be so forthcoming.”
The anonymous user said on the Facebook post that she was disappointed to share this was found in her mother-in-law’s car.
She said: “This person has no idea of the circumstances around the reason for parking there, however, this is irrelevant as the road is not owned by either of these properties.
“She is fairly shaken and now is worried about where to park when this was perfectly legal and reasonable.
“If anyone has suffered any criminal damage, this may enlighten them as to where it’s come from, obviously cannot be sure.
“Please ensure you move to a house with a parking space if you need to park close to your home and refrain from writing threatening letters.”
But people in the comments were divided.
One said: “We all get p****d off when people park or leave their cars outside our homes!”
Another said: “They don’t own the road.”
While a third pointed out: “I had someone park outside my house for six months. It didn’t move once during that time.”
This comes after a driver who left a note on their car explaining why they took up two parking spaces has left people divided.
Plus, a driver was furious to find a handwritten note on her car demanding she parks elsewhere.
