Exactly. Amazingly you are correct. A vehicle needs to be unwillfully parked before a parked vehicle can be deemed to be an obstruction.

I've never managed to work out how a vehicle can be unwillfully parked though, perhaps it has been parked after it was stolen? Perhaps it was parked after it broke down? Maybe the driver was taken ill?

Come to think of it. What's the difference between a parked vehicle & an abandoned vehicle?

Is a stolen vehicle still classed as stolen after the thief has parked it & walked away?

Why are so many stolen vehicles not actually classed as stolen yet considered to be TWOC?

What does TWOC mean? And why is it different from stolen or abandoned . . . or even 'parked' ?

WHY can't I just park my bloody car where I wants to & the whole world can just !!!!!! & learn to live with it?

This is just doing my head in this is !

And this whole thread not about a broken down vehicle?

If the obstruction isn't unnecessary and the windows were put in whyndoes it need removal? I bet plod isn't putting much effort into investigating that crime.

I've just hurt myself when banging my head on the keyboard because of you.

I'd like you to compensate both me & my missus. Me for the hurty feely & my missus 'cos she had to rub it better. The keyboard won't be cheap either.

I shall be asking dear Martin in the morning to provide me with your IP address so I can pass it onto my local plod who I'm sure will be putting max effort into investigating your crime.

Someone said the OP left it with a flat battery.


I presume that they had taken the battery away to charge it up, so in actual fact, they left it wit NO battery:rotfl::rotfl:

I've seen plenty of parking that looks entirely "unwillful".

Because the legal definition of theft includes the intent to permanently deprive. If somebody said "Well, yeh, but I was gonna take it back to where I got it from it...", then that would rule out "theft".

What does TWOC mean?

Taking Without Owner's Consent.

WHY can't I just park my bloody car where I wants to & the whole world can just !!!!!! & learn to live with it?

Because there are plenty of little scrotes around who will smash the windows in on cars left unattended in unsavoury places. And, once the vandalism has started, there are plenty of other little scrotes around who will then nick bits off the car or torch it. Hence the removal of a mildly vandalised, and apparently abandoned, car to a place of safety.

If it's not causing an obstruction, it's insured to the keeper and taxed (so probably not abandoned) and they haven't spoken to the owner to know it's broken down.

I'm at a loss to know why they removed it.
