What to Do When a Car is Blocking and No One Moves It?
2 Answers
Generally, contact information is left on the car. If you find your car blocked, you can check if there is a phone number on the car. This situation is more applicable when a parking space in a residential area is occupied or blocked. You can ask the property security for the car owner's phone number. If your car is blocked at the entrance of a mall or restaurant and there is no owner's contact number, you can use the mall's public announcement system to notify the owner to move the car. The insurance policy on the car's front windshield will have the insurance company's information. You can call the insurance company and report that the car has been scratched.
I've encountered this situation before where my car was blocked and couldn't move. My usual approach is to first check if there's a parking contact card or phone number displayed on the other vehicle's windshield. If found, I directly call the owner, and they typically come down to move their car immediately. If no contact information is visible, I take photos with my phone to document the situation, then seek assistance from the residential security or property management office. They can check surveillance footage or registration records to contact the owner. I also post a help message in our WeChat group to ask if any neighbors recognize the vehicle. If there's no response after waiting over half an hour, I might consider calling the police as a last resort. The key is to remain patient and polite to prevent escalation. It's also wise to have your own information ready just in case, making the process safer and more efficient.
