'I got my neighbour's car towed because I didn't recognise it - they're furious'

A woman has been left riddled with guilt after accidentally having her neighbour's car towed because she didn't recognise its number plate. She explained how she woke up one day to see an SUV parked directly opposite her driveway - but didn't do anything about it assuming it was a visitor.

But after seven long weeks, the woman decided to take matters into her own hands, reporting the "abandoned" vehicle to the police. Taking to Reddit, she said: "It caught my attention because it had a flat tyre. We've had several stolen vehicles get ditched in our neighbourhood, so my first instinct was that this seemed like a potential abandoned car.

"Seven weeks later, the car still hadn't moved. It wasn't harming anything or in our way, but we found it odd. The laws in our neighbourhood are that cars must be moved at least every three days. On Friday, my partner mentioned it again and I finally decided to call the police department.
