This morning I got a call from someone asking me to move my car from their garage door or they’d get my car towed. I’ve been trying to sell my car so my number is on the front window so that’s how they got it. Of course I went there to move it and realized that the garage was actually just a shed that was built recently that he decided to stock his things in. It’s right next to his house in the little corner right between the house next to his, there’s no kind of walk way, there’s actually a huge patch of grass right there, and I don’t think a car could actually fit in the space itself.
He’s moving out and wants the parking space I was in to put his truck down so he can pack the things from the shed inside. He actually ended up driving on the side walk right in between the house and my car while waiting. I still moved the car because I didn’t want to start anything but is that an actual thing that I should remember and not park there anymore just in case even after he does move out or?
People have parked there before, it’s just a normal sidewalk parking spot. Even after when he built the shed people are still parking there. Even now after he finished packing and drove his truck out, so I’m a bit confused.

If it’s just a normal parking spot on a public road and not actually blocking any kind of driveway then you didn’t do anything wrong, but if you can move the car to avoid drama with your neighbor I might just do it.
Dude, honestly, just don’t park there lol. Even tho it’s maybe technically public space, it’s gonna keep stirring up drama. Plus, ppl have weird property feelings even when laws aren’t on their side. Save yourself the headache, find a new spot. Who needs the agro, right? 😅🚗💨😂
If that’s not your property just move your car
If you parked on the public street where there is a sidewalk without any colorings on the sidewalk or any signs specifying parking restrictions, then you can park there legally. If there is no sidewalk, like there’s an indent leading from the ‘grass’ to the road, then you can’t park there.
If you’re actually parking on the grass in ‘not my property’, then you can’t park there regardless if you assume it’s public (it isn’t) or if other people have parked there. If others have parked there, you can assume the property owner is fed up with people parking there and has towed more than his share of vehicles.
How about : just don’t park there. They asked, and warned you that you’ll be towed.
If there’s not a curb cutout or other parking control you’re welcome to park there, but if the guy is moving and you’re trying to sell the car, I’d avoid the drama.
Now that you know the situation, if you park there again it means you’re actively being a dickhead. Don’t be a dickhead. FAFO.
If it’s a public spot and not blocking a real driveway, you can park there. But on second thought, starting unnecessary drama where you live can turn into a headache real quick so find another spot if u can
