Friend lived in Boston & a couple years ago had a lot of snow so people were digging out parking spots across from their houses & then blocking them off. Mayor said they couldn’t do that so people taking advantage of the “free” clearing, ended up with their cars buried in snow or covered in ice.

I remember a few years back seeing a story about a guy who shoveled a parking spot in front of his house and his neighbor across the street promptly parked there. The guy that did the shoveling got his gun and killed the neighbor.

I lived in an apartment for many years. On really bad snowfall, I spent an hour and a half digging out my car in order to go to work. When I got home, somebody had parked in my spot which was on the side of my apartment building.

Since I was probably the only person in the complex who had a shovel, I don't know how the owner of that car was able to dig himself out when I got finished replacing all the snow I had removed.

Just before I left Boston in 1983, I was parked in Roslindale across the street from my friend when we got about 20 inches of snow. I got up early, before the plows, dug my car out with a perfect, I mean Donald Trump perfect, shoveling job. But it was near the cross street, and after I left, the plow partially plowed it back in. Someone else apparently re-shoveled it an thought they owned it. I parked there afterwards and the antenna was broken.

When I was a kid, we had a 2 foot plus snowfall. My Dad dug out his vehicle to get to wotprk and came home to find our next door neighbor (an attorney) had parked in the spot. Dad asked him to move, he refused. Dad told him he had two choices, move or get out in the spring when the ice finally thawed. Car was moved. After a few more less than friendly interactions, the attorney moved.
