Here’s one way to deal with it:
A trolley jack works well .
Most people would have dumped it on the grass or put bricks under the suspension so the wheels were just off the ground. I have heard of someone doing a delivery using a tail lift and a car had parked with its front wheels on the tail lift. A traffic warden told the truck driver to lift the car and drop it on a couple of breeze blocks so he could pull the tail lift out
I wonder how much damage that has done/could do to the car though, exhaust system, brake lines and fuel line all run under there, not saying I care about the right or wrong of moving it either way, just curious about the likelihood of damage

Stuff like fuel lines and brake pipes usually are tucked away under they’ve sills, also on most cars the sills are lower so you can use them as jacking points on some cars. The only thing that possibly could get damaged there is the exhaust system and catalytic converter.
Moving it across the road is rather considerate, certainly compared to this Farmer Palmer “Get orf moy LAAAAANND!” fella.

And to pass away those RDC hours…
It would very likely damage the sills unless it’s an old car with a ladder chassis 
I had a car once that had forklift marks on the chassis, it was a cat D and the fork marks were from when it was getting moved around/to/from the scrappies!
This should be allowable whenever some selfish/thick driver parks just where it suits them. I`d love to see this going on (with impunity) more often!

About right for the police not wanting to get involved. Me and my partner are in the process of trying to get 2 grands worth of damage done to our car by a truck catching a wheel bin and dragging it down the side of the car whilst it was parked outside our house and he just drove off.
Luckily next door neighbour has a camera looking onto his and our car and has caught the incident happening so I took it to the police and their attitude is we can’t get involved, sort it with your insurance company and even though he failed to stop it isn’t a crime 
but yet it’s going to cost us nearly £500 excess and lose 2 years no claims 
The police are a ■■■■■■■ waste of time and space IMO, be a different story if it was one of their cars that got damaged Now it putting my hopes on my insurance company being able to recover the costs from the company involved.
The police won’t get involved because no one was injured. Evidence or not, they don’t want to do any work.

Long forks or extensions but line them up with the jacking points and put some wooden blocks inbetween
Allegedly eh Drift ?

Spot on Billy, we did it to an engineers van in our yard, he thought it had been nicked 
He threw a propper paddy but the boss thought it was hilarious
A few years ago I used to live in a house that was near the top of a hill.
6 o’clock one Saturday morning, the wife and I are awoken by a knocking at the door, its one of our neighbours.
I look out onto the drive way to see a police car wedged into the rear of our car.
The officers in question had been attending a the property at the top of the hill, parked the car with the steering on a right hand turn, and not correctly applied the handbrake.
So you can guess what happened.
Anyway, when they eventually appeared. I did not get one apology from the officers, or any member of there force during the entire proceedings, and why where there proceedings you ask? Surely this is an open and shut case!?
- I was in bed sleeping like a baby
- My car was on my private driveway
- There ‘highly trained’ police driver had not correctly applied the handbrake on his vehicle
You see the Police force in question had the nerve to blame me for this and stated on there official report that I was at fault, for where I had left my car for the night.
To reiterate, on my private driveway! And for clarification the distance from the rear of my car to the gate post was enough space for over half police Ford S-Max to fit in.
My insurance company at then time where almost scared to question or fight the police on this matter, needless to say, in the end they changed their report, paid up and I left my insurance company for one with some balls.
From the time of the incident to them actually admitting liability took 7 weeks.

Lmao unreal!! And to think we pay there wages tut
Yeah - small wonder that they`re distrusted so much by the public that pay for them to “protect and serve”.
protect themselves and serve a summons on you
Had that been my car, that prat of a farmer would have needed towing away.
I don’t get why the car needing moving? There was clearly plenty of space to turn or whatever as a car drove down his nearside half way through the video. They seem to have moved the car just because they can. It was not blocking access and from what I could see was not illegally parked either.

Very much this ^ .

Oh I couldn’t believe it when they tried to put the blame on me, citing I had not parked in an appropriate overnight space!
They (the police) will always protect themselves and the impression I got from my insurance company was that the police use ‘bully-boy’ tactics against any insurance company who question their report of events involving there vehicles and any incidents.
