lol what?So what exactly are you accomplishing by dropping troll posts ? I don't get it.
I mean I get it, trolling, wasting our time ? but you're wasting yours too posting all over the place, then he/she is probably back checking....just stupid
i think they did mr GreyGooseI wonder if they used the UVIP trick to see if the Benz is riding dirty?
Hi GTAM folks,
OP here. Thank you for all your comments to my thread. Appreciate it.
This parking issue may well have been petty if it was a one-off, two-off instance. But we have noticed a continued pattern of total disregard by the neighbour, where they don’t respect our property boundaries. Case in point below…3 pics selected from a slew of their poor parking handiwork spread across 3 years.

Year 1 – First year of move for both the neighbour and us. One fall afternoon, we find a random black SUV parked on our driveway blocking our car. Turned out it was the neighbour’s SUV! They never asked our permission to park on our driveway, just saw an open spot and plopped their SUV there. Their approach was park first, ask for forgiveness later if needed. In our effort to be a good neighbour, we let it slide. In hindsight, maybe that was a mistake, but we played nice.

Year 2 – One spring afternoon, we see the neighbour’s black SUV parked well over the midline with the front wheel of their SUV is on our driveway. It was a miracle they didn’t park directly on our driveway seeing an empty runway available for their landing! As you can see in the picture, the manner in which the neighbour has parked their SUV, there is plenty of space on their side that can park another car right beside the SUV. Despite the available space on their own driveway, they continue to push towards and over the midline onto our driveway!

Year 3 – One summer afternoon, we see the neighbour parking their upgraded SUV in this manner! Sure, they are parking well on their side of their driveway, but the question is how will their passengers get into the SUV? Hover/fly in midair to get into the SUV? Or, would they have to swing the door into our driveway and trespass on our driveway to get into the SUV?
As you can see every year, each season of our residence here as neighbours, they have sprung a poor parking surprise on us. Observing their parking behaviour, we could have done the tit-for-tat thing and parked as poorly as they do, but we didn’t because we truly believed that dialogue is the way to overcome this issue. But as noted in my original post, with their hostility, they let that ‘dialogue’ ship sail away. And, they continue to take advantage of our nicety.
GTAM folks, we are not here to troll, just seeking some answers, hoping to learn from more experienced folks who may have encountered similar issues. We are at our wits end here, so wanted to reach out on blogs/forums for opinions/guidance.
We realize that in the latest summer pic snapshot of their white SUV, the neighbour is parking on their side of the property, but why should their passengers be using our driveway every time to access their vehicle? We are paying our hard-earned money for our driveway for our use, not for it to be used by the neigbbour at their whim and wish.
So GTAM folks, we seek your opinion here on these two questions…
Question #1 - If the neighbour’s passengers are stepping on our driveway every time to access their vehicle, isn’t that considered as trespassing?
Question #2 - With video evidence, can the city issue a citation to the neighbour for trespassing on our property?
Our neighbour is welcome to park their vehicles on their driveway as they wish, but they shouldn’t trespass on our driveway and access it without our permission to get into their vehicles. We don’t trespass on their property and respect our boundaries, and as good neighbours we expect the same from them because we know it can be done. It is a respectable thing to do…is that much to ask?
After 3 years of being taken advantage of our nicety, we believe this is where we wish to draw the line.
Thank you in advance.

I'm with you...maybe sit and have a beer with the guy. Sounds like a city situation where you nod at each other, maybe a smile and wave...but not a Hi Xxxx, how are you doing today? Do you need help with that new deck... Yada Yada. 3 years of stalking and pics. Maybe after that amount of time he thinks all is cool and it's no big deal. And it's been eating you up inside for 3 years. WOW.OP:
