There are few things more annoying than when somebody takes your usual parking spot on the street, so imagine how frustrating it would be to find someone had parked in your driveway.
Well, this is exactly what has happened to an Aberystwyth couple, after their student neighbour planted his car on their driveway for the summer break - leaving a cheeky note alongside the vehicle.
Tom and Julia Ebenezer, of Glan Rheidol, Llanbadarn Fawr, said they came home to discover a black Citroën had been left on their drive without their permission.
To add insult to injury, they also discovered a note asking the couple to look after a cactus plant, whilst the student headed home to China during the summer recess.

Police and the council have told the Ebenezers they can do nothing about it and that if they damage the vehicle they could be liable.
A note left for Mr and Mrs Ebenezer by the car owner said: "Hi, it's Jack from Glan Rheidol, thank you so much for let me park my car here, if you don't mind, can you help me to take care of my plant as well please.
"I will bring some present from China for you. If there is any problem, please call me. I will be back at 15 September. Thank you so much."
Speaking to the Cambrian News, Mr Ebenezer said: "The person who owns the car is a Chinese student who is renting a property across the road. He seems to have gone home for the summer.
"He has also left a card with a cactus plant asking us to look after it until his return on 15 September.
"Looking out through the window, all you see is this black car. It is very, very annoying. It is parked on our property."

This isn't the first time that we've see this at LADbible - the same thing happened to a bloke in Bristol back in April.
Speaking at the time of that incident, a national police spokesman said: "Getting a vehicle removed from private land can potentially be an involved matter.
"If the vehicle is in a dangerous condition, for example it's leaking petrol or contains dangerous items such as gas bottles, we would suggest you contact your local police via the non-emergency 101 number or 999 if an emergency response is required.
"If you think the vehicle is abandoned, we would suggest you contact your local council. Councils must remove abandoned vehicles from both land in the open air and roads (including private roads).

"However, local council policies differ in relation to this so we would suggest you discuss the matter with them - it may help if you speak with a manager. If a vehicle is abandoned, you don't have to ask the council to move it.
"Under no circumstances would we advocate you merely pushing the vehicle onto a road and leaving it there, as you may commit a number of offences."
