I am sure that someone has got it in for me on the industrial estate where I park for work. The problem is, that as I am not in the parking scheme for the NHS trust I work for, I can't use the car park for CSB staff until weekends or after 3 in the afternoon. Therfore, I park on a side road on the industrial estate behind the CSB. Normally, I don't have any problems except one occasion when I got into an argument over who would technically be at fault in the case that a company's HGV went into my Dad's car. I won that one. Then today, I came out of work to find a note stuffed under the driver's side windscreen wiper which read thus:
TO THE OWNER
YOUR VEHICLE WILL BE REMOVED IF PARKED OUTSIDE THE GATES AGAIN.
WARNING.
This has now got me thinking as to whether or not I was legally parked. I will point out that there were no signs saying that parking was not allowed attached to the gates, and that there are no double yellow lines along the road. So do they really have the right to move my car and, if they did, could I possibly sue them in the event of any damage occuring to my car or prosecute them for theft?
