Woman alarmed as she finds angry note on car written by neighbour

A woman has hit out after finding a 'threatening' note on her car after a parking row with neighbours.

The angry handwritten note appears to have been written by a fellow local - who demands the woman pays for a car park, instead of taking the 'valuable' space outside her home.

The letter was discovered on the car by the woman's mother-in-law.

The relative was left shaken and worried about where to park in future, despite the manoeuvre being "perfectly legal", the Manchester Evening News reported.

The note read: "Tin opener available at 81 or 83.

"Next time you need to leave your car for more than a couple of hours, pay for a car park and refrain from taking valuable parking spaces outside my home!!

"Next time the can opener may not be so forthcoming."

The unneighbourly incident was shared in an anonymous post on a Royton Facebook group.

In response, the poster said: "Disappointed to share this was found on my mother-in-law’s car today on Radcliffe Street.

"This person has no idea of the circumstances around the reason for parking there, however this is irrelevant as the road is not owned by either of these properties.

"She is fairly shaken and now is worried about where to park when this was perfectly legal and reasonable.

"If anyone has suffered any criminal damage this may enlighten them as to where it’s come from, obviously cannot be sure.

"Please ensure you move to a house with a parking space if you need to park close to your home, and refrain from writing threatening letters."
