Ekona Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Actually, it would be criminal damage: " A person who without lawful excuse destroys or damages any property belonging to another intending to destroy or damage any such property or being reckless as to whether any such property would be destroyed or damaged shall be guilty of an offence." It would be reckless to wrap it up without consulting the owner or taking precautions to protect the paint, i.e. cleaning it first. Same as how you can be done for assault without actually touching anyone, just the thought that you might be hit is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 11 hours ago, The Bounty Bar Kid said: Not criminal damage. Where has he damaged it? In the case shown above the police couldn't say anything to him as he hadn't damaged the car. If anything he'd protected it from harm. Criminal damage is (loosely) defined as preventing a person from using his or her property in its intended manner. No physical "damage", as it is traditionally defined, has to be inflicted on the property. For example intentionally knocking a police officer's hat off his/her head is actually criminal damage. So is criminal damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Reading the CPS site, I disagree, yeah temporary or permanent damage is inflicted. But ah well. We'll see what happens when they return and the story is updated. Or maybe we'll never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just because the CPS choose not to prosecute, doesn't mean a crime hasn't been committed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Sprinkle bird seed/breadcrumbs on the floor around the bike. After a few hours the birds will have left a message for him that parking there might not be a good idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 So far, no more parking woes. By the way, the bird seed idea is pure genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 A sign was ordered just warning that access was needed at all times and any motorcycles obstructing its use would be moved to the pavement outside the property to enable it's use. A very fair and non over the top statement me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifesabeach26 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Ever thought of getting something like this that can fold up and fit in the boot? http://www.zjeastsea.com/en/expandable_barrier.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
