Car plastered with furious notes after parking in wrong spot at ANZ Burwood
A furious Sydney resident has plastered a vehicle with signs in revenge after the car was parked in the wrong spot.
It’s not that uncommon for a fiery note to be left on a car to convey displeasure.
But a Sydney resident took that to the extreme by plastering a vehicle with signs in apparent revenge after a motorist parked in the wrong spot at a bank.
An image posted to Reddit on Friday showed a black Nissan Captiva covered front to back with a furious missive on A4 sheets paper strapped down with masking tape.
“Warning!!” the sign read.
“This is a private car park for ANZ stuff use only. You have illegally occupied. Please move your car immediately before further action taken. ANZ Burwood.”
The original poster on Reddit wrote, “Burwood ANZ does not mess around. One note would have been enough, but this seems personal.”
An ANZ spokesman told Yahoo News, “We are aware of these social media reports and are working to understand what has occurred here.”
It’s thought the vehicle had been parked in the spot for several days. The signs have since been removed.
The upset citizen might run into difficulty when they try to enforce threat of “further action”.
Towing companies are generally hesitant to accept a job. Police and councils are also reluctant to get involved, as a Melbourne resident found out recently.
According to a recent post on Reddit, they woke up to find a car parked and blocking their access from the car park.
“After calling the police, they said they couldn’t tow it since it’s on private property same was said with the council,” they wrote.
“The body corporate is trying to organise a tow truck but no company will take it on as it could be theft and they don’t want to hold a car for ransom.

“With all options exhausted it feels like that parking on private property is an option with no repercussions at this point.”
The offending motorist later “snuck out and left”, according to an update posted on the site.
Police reportedly can take action to remove a vehicle if it poses a danger to the public or is obstructing traffic — or is otherwise abandoned.
