What is the opinion of drivers parking wagons overnight and weekends outside someone's home in a street where they don't live.  They park up and walk off into a different street.

    Same as if someone parks a car outside my house who doesn't live here. 

    I may not like it but unless it is illegal or private land nothing that I can do about it so not worth worrying about.

    If it's a public road with no parking restrictions then there is nothing you can, or should do about it.
    The only action possible would be if it is causing a genuine obstruction to traffic flow, it's parked over a dropped kerb, or it's in a disabled bay with no justification, and even then you will have to convince the local police to be motivated to do something.

    Other than the above they can park there and it's not worth an argument over, or stressing over.

    If parking is difficult, that type of thing is always going to happen. We sometimes get missed bin collections because my neighbour parks his van in the street, where as I park my van where there is plenty of space.
    Does the parking cause problems?
