Angry neighbour leaves scary letter on car
It's always nice finding an anonymous threatening letter on your car...
Many people would like to avoid confrontations of any kind, especially violent ones.

So there is nothing wrong with leaving a note on someone's car, in their post box, on their doorstep or somewhere else you know they'll be able to find it if you would like to communicate your distress or unhappiness with certain actions in your neighbourhood.
However, leaving threatening messages is definitely not the way to do it, especially if this is the first time you are addressing the situation.

One Facebook user recently posted a picture on the Royton Community Hub group. Wishing to stay anonymous, they shared a picture of a note they had found on their mother-in-law's car.
The Facebook poster said in their caption that the unnecessarily aggressive note had left their mother-in-law 'shaken' and 'worried':
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

You might be wondering, 'What could a note have possibly said that affected the woman so much?'
Well, they had accused the lady of parking in the wrong spot and insinuated that they will use a tin opener to damage the car in case this happens again.
You can read the full note here:
In a nice change of pace, the comments have been full of support saying that the lady, according to the law, had all the right to park her car where it was.
Hopefully the writer of the note is also on this group and will be so embarrassed by their actions that they never do something like this again!
