would you report it or not?

My next door neighbour has a vauxhall omega estate that he bought from one of those 'finace anyone' type companies..

as it is not paid off, the car is still owned by the company, as he is delcairing himself bankrupt, the car was supposed to go back to the finance company..

however..... it was broken into some time ago, and now sits outside with a broken window, in the road (his other car is on his drive) taking very valuable parking space, (we are in a cul-de-sac, so space is at a premium on the road)

the road tax expired over a year ago although it was in use untill a few months ago..

the question is..... would you report it to DVLA to get it removed? the guy has enough on his plate as it is, but its not very nice to have a car parked outside with no tax and a missing window, especialy as its taking up space where a legitimate taxed insured vehicle could be parked..

I would, and have before. I went to the local cop shop about it.

EDGE · September 02, 2006, 04:14:00 PM

the council here will remove any untaxed vehicle on the spot and impound it... then after 21 days... crush it !!!!

Take photo's of it, missing tax disc. Post all over internet.
Report it.
Take photo's of the car being taken away. Post all over internet.
Get a warm fuzzy feeling next time you cough up for your tax disc.

Suppose you could always mention it to this bod to remove it. Although I must admit that if he doesn't then he will know who has called the DVLA if you decide to go down that route.
