Right, a week ago my neighbour moved out and asked if they could park their car on our drive/garden, saying they'd be back in a couple of days to collect it, once they'd got some tax on it. Now, not had any sign of the now ex neighbour, and having spoken to the landlord of next door, it doesn't seem likely we will see them at all, (they done a runner owing rent). So, what can I do? And how long should I wait before I do anything? Landlord doesn't have a forwarding address for them so can't contact them. Its not exactly a new car, R reg Audi A4 1.8 saloon,

In this case I'd say it's not worth applying for the logbook as
A:you know the people
B:it's only worth Ł400 at best
C:you'll get Ł200 scrap for it with no hassle.
Why give the landlord fuck all??

a month, fuck that - if they said they will back in a few days, that means 3 days in my book.
they are obviously pikey cunts if they havnt paid the rent, so if it were me (wouldnt have agreed to have a car dumped on my drive in the first place
) then the cunt would be apart and on ebay by now ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
ok i hate ebay, i would have just scrapped it!

"Can I leave my car here to avoid the traffic when I go to the football mate, I'll be a couple of hours tops."
"Yea sure, couple of hours is no bother."
......5 hrs later......
"Sorry I'm late, met an old friend and had a pint and a chat with him.. where's the car gone?"
"You exceeded the agreed time, so I scrapped it."

Cut the cat off it, weight it in, make Ł200 on it, dont give any to the landlord as they might not have paid the rent because he was being a prick, just like mine is at present.

you never know the guy / couple could be going through some hard times especially with so many people loosing thier jobs nowadays , landlord being a cock, u might find that you keeping thier car safe is a life saver in a way.
+ as people say IF they are like the pikey socitey they know where u live

me If the car was sound, ( regardless of age ) after 2 months, log book it into my name, use it as a daily driver

Apply for log book, if you don't have keys get a set from the scrappy and get somebody nice with VAg-Tacho to code them and sell it, should make an easy Ł600 off it if its tidy
