A Scottish man has been trying to get a security firm to remove an 'abandoned' vehicle from outside his home for nearly two months.
Aaron Moison has hit out at Verisure due to the company's reluctance to come and remove the white Mitsubishi from his street since the beginning of September, as he says that it makes it difficult for him to get in and out of his drive.
The 34-year-old, from Stirling, has grown frustrated and said that he has asked for it to be taken away by the company, but ended up in a back-and-forth with their customer service team.

Mr Moison told the Observer that in almost two months, he had seen nobody engage with the car and it had not moved once, saying he doesn't know anyone on the street that works for the company. When Verisure were contacted for comment, the vehicle was eventually driven away.
Mr Moison said: "I could still get in and out of the driveway so it wasn't totally the end of the world but it was a pain to have to reverse park beyond it and it just takes that extra bit of time.
"But when you've got two children in the back unhappy after a long journey, it's an extra thing to pay attention to and it's just a bit of an annoyance and hindrance to me.
"I'm more annoyed that it's quite a simple thing to ask a company of that size and while I understand that the customer service team don't keep track of these things, you'd expect them to have a better understanding of their equipment and cars sitting somewhere for close to two months.
"I just don't understand why it took so long to deal with because moving a car is something that happens every day so why should it get to this stage?
"It just took up time and effort to deal with that shouldn't really have to be the case."

In a response from Verisure on October 13, a member of their customer service team said she is "very sorry" that the issue hasn't been resolved despite efforts to chase it up and says the issue has been "escalated" to management to be dealt with by the local branch.
The Observer contacted Verisure for comment on this story, but did not receive a response at time of going to press.
