ROTTEN LUCK

I woke up to find angry note, rotten veg and DEAD FLIES smeared over my car in parking row – I’m furious

A WOMAN locked in a parking row with her neighbour woke up to find rotten vegetables smeared over her car.

Hannah Jones was disgusted to discover the vehicle had also been vandalised with used tea bags and dead flies amid the dispute.

The 28-year-old had returned home from work late on April 12 and had struggled to find somewhere to park near her house in Eagley, Bolton.

She eventually found a spot round the corner, but when she returned to her car the following morning there was an angry note on the windscreen which read: "DO NOT PARK HERE."

Her car was also covered in old fruit and vegetable scraps, sodden tea bags and cracked egg shells, and her left wing mirror was cracked.

Hannah, who owns a luxury garden business, said she was "shocked" by the fact someone in her close-knit community had pumped their energy into "being so horrible".

She told : "If you arrive at home anywhere past about 5pm there is usually hardly anywhere to park.

"I have sometimes had to park 10 minutes away from my house to get a spot – this was the case late night Tuesday.

"I had lots to carry from my car from work so I parked where no one was parked down a back of house ginnel.

"I ask someone pulling up if anyone parks here and she said no, this is a public car park for anyone to use."

Hannah continued: "I woke up early to set off to work and discovered my car was covered in filth and a note on the front saying 'DO NOT PARK HERE'.

"My wing mirror was pushed forward and the plastic had cracked.

"I had veg rubbed all over the back and left stuck in my back wiper and it stunk.

"Wet tea bags covered the roof and had dried in stained patches."

Hannah, who uses her car to get to client meetings, said she was forced to take it to the car wash first thing as "it's important that it at least looks clean and tidy".

And astonishingly it's not the first time this has happened.

I was pretty shocked at first that someone had put a lot of their energy in to being so horrible.

Hannah was also targeted with a box of dead flies on the roof of car - and she is adamant it's the same culprit.

"It's clearly the same person," she said.

"It's a close-knit neighbourhood so I was disappointed that someone would go down this route rather than just have a conversation.

"I [would] completely understand if I literally parked on someone's drive or blocked someone in, but even so I don't think it would warrant that behaviour."

Hannah said she has decided not to report the incident to the police, but she is definitely more careful about where she parks now.

"It has made me more wary, this person is obviously out to do some damage," she added.
