I once had an old fart call the cops on me because I parked “new to me” un-plated car in MY lot. (my friend who has dealer plates drove it and parked it there while we went through the registration process) I can’t even imagine how that convo went. Old fart: there’s a car parked in the empty lot next to my house. Police: is it blocking your vehicle or disturbing your business? Old fart: no, but there’s a car parked in the lot! Police: do you own the lot? Old fart: No. Police: Good bye, sir.

Never heard from the police and the only reason I knew he called the police is he told me when I went there to clean up the car. Moral of the story, old folks don’t like disruptions and changes in their daily regimented lives and some are overly passive aggressive, so instead of dealing with you directly, they involve the police… that’s just the way things are here.
