This morning I discovered that somebody had parked in front of my garage, blocking me in:
I had no idea who it was, but it appeared to be a female from the contents of the car.
I gave the person a couple of hours to move the car before eventually calling the towing company:
The tow truck driver said that this is a common sort of thing. Usually it's somebody who is drunk out of their minds and is unaware of where they are parking during the night. The next morning must be doubly bad for them - they have a hangover and their car is missing 
.
The funny thing was that the tow truck guy just walked up to the car, hopped in, put it in neutral and pushed it up to the tow truck. I didn't even think to check if it was unlocked - I could have just pushed it into an empty parking spot myself.

Dude! where’s my car?

Did you knock on your neighbours door? Maybe it was one of their guests.

Interesting situation. How will the owner of the vehicle know where their car went? Did you have to pay for the tow? Or, is this one of those “towed at the owner’s expense” situations?

There are signs around the parking lot which say “unauthorized vehicles will be towed at the owner’s expense” and have the address of the towing company.
I did contact the apartment complex staff and they determined whose car it was based on the license plate. Last I heard they had left some phone messages, but hadn’t gotten in contact with the person.

I think you were 100% right in having it towed. When someone else’s problems become your problem, it’s time to act. Inconsiderate neighbors suck!
