Neighbor’s Car Gets Towed After They Boxed My Fiance’s Car In Our Driveway

OP (29m) and his fiancée moved into a new house a few months ago. During their first week, they discovered a car parked on their driveway, which didn’t belong to them. Their neighbor, a woman who lives next door, approached them and asked if it was okay for her to park there. She explained that the previous owner had allowed her to do so. Since their driveway could fit two cars, they initially agreed. However, after their son was born, they needed an additional vehicle for their growing family. With three cars, the driveway was no longer large enough to accommodate the neighbor’s car. They politely informed her that she could no longer park there. This change caused tension between them.

The neighbor began repeatedly parking behind OP’s car, causing him to have to knock on her door early in the morning. This led to confrontations, and their neighbor refused to comply with their requests. After their neighbor blocked their driveway when they needed to leave for their son’s appointment, OP had her car towed since she wasn’t answering the door. Now, the neighbor is upset and claims she can’t afford to get her car back. She glares at OP and his fiancée whenever they see her. OP is questioning if he was in the wrong for having her car towed.
