A mum threw herself over the bonnet of her camper van in a desperate bid to stop it being towed away to be destroyed in a bitter row with her neighbour about parking.
Loredana Luisi watched in disbelief as her leased Knaus Boxster 540 was lifted on to a low loader truck from outside her flat, and even tried to prevent the vehicle being removed.
She used the van regularly, including to take her 10-year-old son Oscar to school - but a removal order claimed it was abandoned and untaxed.
