Many of our readers were furious about a stranger leaving their car in a family's driveway near Manchester Airport, with plenty offering their own takes on how to deal with the situation.
Zekarias Haile, 51, who lives with his wife and two children in Wythenshawe woke up on a Thursday morning to find a grey Range Rover parked in the driveway of his home, with the vehicle remaining there for four days.
He believes the car belonged to someone who was flying out from Manchester Airport, suspecting the culprit to be one of the rogue parking companies that operate in the area.

Almost all of our readers took Zekarias's side, with many suggesting he could have been more ruthless in his actions.
One person suggested: " Should have let the tyres down," while another said: "I would block it in and have multiple cameras with alarm sensors to detect them coming back for it."
Another reader commented: " Several potatoes jammed up the exhaust, would work a treat."
Others suggested attempting to move the car, with one person saying: "I would have had it towed onto the street outside house and left it there."
Another person put forward a more drastic solution, saying: " I would drag it onto a trailer, set off to a motorway bridge near Manchester Airport, drag it off the trailer and onto the hard shoulder."
But Zekaria's reaction was a more peaceful one, with one person commenting: "I salute your patience Sir. That car would be a write off if this happened to me."
They weren't the only ones applauding Zekaria's calm response, with another person saying: "What I take from this story is that Mr Haile is a very patient man."
