The person who put the cones around his/her car is the demon.

If they’re blocking your driveway at all, you can call the police to tow. That’s what neighbors did to my car when I blocked their drive by like six inches.

Is the car still there?

Many years ago, my husband and his roommates had a shitty neighbor who insisted only they could park on the street in front of their house - though it was a public street no one legally needed permission to park on - and would leave sawhorses and cones there all day, then move them around their car when they returned every evening. If you dared try to park there anyway, they would come out and scream at you. This was especially frustrating because it was certainly not LA - just a tiny northern california town with basically unlimited parking.

Now we live near a big event center in a different town, and have a neighbor who puts out cones and a sign saying "private parking - no event parking" on his street despite, again, it being legally open to anyone and everyone. That guy also sells gallons of honey he claims to be making from the 3 hives on his roof so I think he's a second away from trying to collect parking fees from the street parkers.

All of that to say: I think you have a new, shitty neighbor :(

Is $4000/demon the going rate for exorcisms these days?

I saw my first and last psychic over 15 years ago at a women’s expo. She was aggressive and pinpointed a chronic pain I had at the time. She told me to meet her at her hotel room that night so she could help rid me of a family curse for $150. She scared the bejeezus out of me. I did not go.

But, I guess that was a good deal huh?

Don’t have any advice, but just came here to say your street looks so idyllic. Like from an American TV show from the 50’s.

This is a parent teaching their teen to parallel park. But what I’d really like to know if where I can find the garage doors of the across the street neighbors? 😲

I’ll bet it’s a car that belongs to an idiot friend of one of your neighbors that felt like they needed to mark off their “spot” for no reason.

OK, how’s this? The car broke down in the middle of the night, blocking the driveway. The distressed driver managed to push the car out of blocking the driveway but was too tired/drunk/high/weak to push it any farther. Started walking home or maybe someone picked them up. Found the traffic cones later at a minor road construction site. Nicked them and brought them back to mark off the car. In their tired/drunk/high/weak state of mind, thought was a great idea. Will laugh at themselves when they come back to claim the car and see the obvious futility of their traffic-control measures. Suggest you leave a note on the windshield asking the mystery driver to knock on your door and offer an explanation, mainly because you love a good story and this has all the makings of one.

Cones: two on roof of car, two under windshield wipers.

Tell your friend to stay far away from that psychic! As for the cones, I'd take them, or move them in front of the doors.

I’m thinking a drunk person in a silly fun mood put the cones there just to confuse everybody 😂

Idk if this is helpful or not but it reminds me of the pilot episode of This Fool which made me actually lol so maybe watch that and know you’re not alone?
