Unsure where to report this.
This guy asked my son and his friends to help push vehicles into their driveway to prevent the vehicles from being towed. He plans to push them back into the street parking area eventually. Why is he pushing these vehicles up and down the street? Is this legal? I really don’t want my son involved with this neighbor.
