Damage From Sunlight Exposure  By  bigmac (Read 1,105 times)

If you were there they should have asked you to move it however you should have been a good guest and asked permission to make use of the garage before parking inside it. Just like when you ask where to put your jacket, overshoes or umbrella when you visit inside someones house or apartment you should have asked for permission to park in the garage or if a shady spot was available to park your bike.

Mind you that your bike may have not been the first item left there without permission making it the proverbial straw that broke the camels back.

Now if you had left the property and could not be contacted that would be a different situation.

As an extreme example we have my former brother-in-law who use to come by early in the morning and leave his truck locked up and parked across the entrance to the driveway of my parents house blocking everyone in so after asking him to stop doing that with no results the last time he did it my Dad called and asked me to drag it sideways out to a field that had no entrance to the street using my old Power Wagon which was parked there blocked inside also so it was available to remove the blockage but my Dad did not want to chance driving it himself since he was unfamiliar with the use of the three shift levers. When he finally showed up the next day (yes he would leave it all day and sometimes overnight) you should have heard the howling however we could have called the police who would have ticketed it and had it towed to an impound yard which would have cost him more than the wear on the tires.

Try to understand both sides as the unauthorized use of the garage may have become a sore spot there and the step dad may have just had his limit of it. He may have been dropping hints to his step son for a time that he did not want people to use his garage that were never passed on to you.

Some neighbors. Where I live there would be so many police calls that they would be having officers instructed to stop for their breaks or to do their paperwork in their cruisers parked on our street.

Here they have taken the more visible presence approach so at times an officer would typically be at a doughnut shop or sitting at the station doing paperwork they are now many times sitting in their cruisers in a problem area instead having coffee or doing paperwork elsewhere and its worked out remarkably well.
