    Parked too close and do not want to turn off mixer while cement is being poured....
    If it were me, I'd soon turn it off myself.. by pulling the bloody plug if I had to.

    As for the cement, it would soon be poured all right - if somebody pushed the thing over with their bumper....

    It's quite amusing, how some folks say they would do this n that.
    1)Never seen a scrawny builder
    2) That car WILL get vandalised at some point in the future
    So yeah go around telling people off and watch how it comes back to bite them in the long run.

    Or if op was lucky/unlucky (depending on how you look at it) they'd just call the police and report criminal damage. Then phone ops insurer to report an incident that will potentially make rise for a claim.

    The builder sounded sensible to me, Covered the car to prevent damage and cement dusk from getting onto the car.

    When they said not right now, I wonder if it was just a case of wait a couple of minutes and they will then move and let them out?

    The police will probably arrive a week next Thursday.

    I doubt it as it will be 'a civil matter'.
