A man has been praised over his clever revenge plan on a stranger after they parked in his driveway to attend a party. The frustrated homeowner returned from work to find the vehicle in his parking spot report the Record.
The driver says his drive can only fit a single car, so he wasn't able to park in his usual space and was forced to find another spot.

But rather than leave his motor further away from his home, he parked right behind the woman's car, blocking her in for four days.
He took to social media to share his parking problem - as well as his clever solution. Posting on Reddit, he said: "I came home from work to find someone on our block was having a large party and someone decided they were entitled to park in my driveway.
"Keep in mind my driveway is a single car width lined with a retaining wall on both sides and a garage at the end. It is essentially impossible for a tow truck to come pull them out without property damage. Seeing this and the lack of street parking I took this as a cue to park right behind them in my driveway."
The man claims he received a knock on the door a few hours later from the "entitled parker" demanding him to move his car so she could drive away. However, he admitted that he wasn't in the mood for any of her antics.
The man added: "Seeing as they were demanding, I informed them that I had been drinking and would not move my car. The entitled parker then decides to call the police to get them to force me to move.
"When the police knocked on my door, I was sure to grab a beer from the fridge before I answered to talk to the officer.
"I had informed him that after I got home I was unwinding and had been drinking and was in no shape to drive.
"At this point their hands were tied because they couldn’t tow her car out, I’m in no shape to drive, and I’m legally parked in my driveway."
The man says to continue his revenge, he informed the woman that he wasn't due back into work until Tuesday. He added that she was welcome to collect her car then from his driveway.
The man's revenge caused a storm of conversation on social media, with people quick to give their views. Many people shamed the woman for her "entitled audacity" to park in someone else's driveway without permission.
One user said: "What is it with people? I feel bad if I park in front of someone's house. I would never presume to just pull on in. People suck." Another user added: "The XXL audacity of calling the coppers on the owner of said driveway."
A third user said: "A valuable lesson is being taught to this woman. Do not park in other people's driveways. I'm sure for the rest of her life she'll remember this."
