Who's at fault if a garage door hits a car you didn't know was infront of it?

It would not be considered damage if you were to put out some seed and tit bits for the birds and the roof of said object would be a very convenient spot for the wild life to feed. Save damaging your garage doors.

It could be.

Perhaps a sign
No parking, garage in constant use, opened from inside
should cover all the bases.

And yes, if the car blocks your vehicles egress to the highway you can call the police to get him towed away/ticketed

If the car blocks your access to the garage when you come home and there is no vehicle inside the garage then the police can do nothing.

what if there is no way in but the garage door preventing to access to your garage?
and what if you come home and park infront of the vehicle so they cant get out.

I would get a trolly jack under the rear axle and pull the car round, I might be an ar$£ hole and manover the car in such a position that it cand be driven out:D if it was on my land that is

Not that the police will do anything about the former.

Police never do much about owt

I remember when a car was left in the middle of the city blocking my Dads drive/access to work/garage door

My Dad figured the cops wouldn't do much except leave him stuck outside work for few hour - so he got a trolley jack - jacked the car and dumped it in the middle of the road (one way system in the city)

Cops were there within minutes, so was the puzzled owner of the car, to witness it being put on the back of a tow truck

Sorted!!!!

If this was done deliberately and I fail to see how you would prove it would have been an accident, then it would be considered to be criminal damage.

How can putting out food for birds be a criminal act ? As a suggestion the really big ones like a bit of cooked pork fat .

GiveItAWiggle

Thanks for all of the replies.

Do birds like warm, moist feces with a hint of seeds and corn mixed in?

Just to clarify, that some of you's did guess, that my garage door does open from the inside as its apart of my back yard.

Also no, I'm plotting some revenge lol. I was just curious who's fault it actually would be if something did (I hope it never does!) happen.

Just makes me astonished that someone can be so ignorant to do that in the first place.

Oh well, life goes on.

It would be a criminal act if you put it on someone's car. I really don't think you thought this through. :wall:
