A woman took revenge on her neighbours persistently parked their nine cars outside her house, despite having their own driveway.

The homeowner said she became frustrated with her neighbours and reported them to the council which saw them forced to pay £90,000.

Writing on Reddit, the woman explained that her neighbours parked their cars in front of her house for a week at a time.

According to resident regulations, motorists are not allowed to park their cars for more than 48 hours in the same spot.

The woman said: "They have told me they don’t like to leave their driveway with cars because it looks tacky.

"Over half the cars they have they don’t even use them. They just use them to safe parking spots for themselves."

The homeowner said she then spotted some building work on a second unit at the back of their property.

She submitted a report to the council about a potential "illegal residential building without permits" on the property.

A year later, she said her neighbours were forced to "tear down their second unit".

She added: "Word got around our block that a city inspector was there making sure everything was being torn down.

"Based on what the materials and labor they put into their second unit, I cost them over $100,000 (£90,000)."

Reddit users responded to the post with alternative suggestions of deterring any more "selfish" drivers.

One person suggested they should "accidentally scatter bird seed around their parked cars every day" so that the cars become covered in bird faeces.

Another added: "You need to give their cars some shade. Plant a couple of Mulberry trees as close to the curb as you are allowed.

"They grow fast and the berries make a real mess, not to mention the birds who stop to eat those berries."
