How do you do it and to who, if you can at all! Cheers.

Well first you need to be a complete barstad, then I suppose you grass to the rozzer's. Why's that!

.NARK! lol.

+3 why would you want to do this anyway!

the_joker_, Nov 17, 6:20pm
Easy there mate, I've been dobbed in by my neighbour, my WOF expired 5 weeks ago as I've been working in Perth since August so haven't been here to organise it. I had it planned for next week, but had a notice in post from police saying it had been noticed by them and to sort it out asap, strange considering it hadn't moved since I left. I wasn't aware you could even report such a thing.

is it parked on the street!

franko171, Nov 17, 6:23pm
karma wil get you nark

the_joker_, Nov 17, 6:24pm
Na, we share a driveway, car sitting right outside my garage next to where she parks her car. You can't see it from the street, so I'm assuming my neighbour narked.

Ah Joker, got wrong end of the stick there it appears! I have no idea how someone would do this, they must be pretty determined or make a habit of doing this! That is crappy though!

How about reading the whole thread before saying something stupid!

modie61, Nov 17, 6:25pm
At least they are giving you a bit of notice to get it done,is that right !

chris241, Nov 17, 6:26pm
they cant do anything if its on private property

modie61, Nov 17, 6:27pm
Ahh assumption. !

the_joker_, Nov 17, 6:30pm
Yeah I was thinking that, but notice in post doesn't mean they actually seen the car I reckon. Not worried by police note anyway, WOF will be done next week as planned - note says 1 month from today.

dvince, Nov 17, 6:34pm
Im guessing by your username that your mates put that notice in your letterbox and were ROFL around the corner as you were reading it. Am I right!

modie61, Nov 17, 6:36pm
Your car rego may have been checked by those new scanners fitted to Police cars now that check rego and wof etc expiry dates and generates either a warning or a fine. What do you reckon ! Maybe they went up your drive on other business and just happened to check your car that hasnt moved for awhile !

the_joker_, Nov 17, 6:37pm
Hehehe, I wish it was something like that. My mates are actually amazed anyone would go to such an extent to get one over you.

My username.that's another story entirely :)

dvince, Nov 17, 6:48pm
Ah ok, sounds like dumb police work then. Either ignore or query the (false) complaint made to police. They dont like people wasting their time with paperwork.

As already stated, youdont need wof/rego when parked on private property.

If you honestly have not used it on the road (at all, even parking it to move cars), I'd write a polite advisory note in reply to tell them that they must have been mistaken.

There is nothing to say that just because you own a vehicle that it has to be WOF'd or licenced, you don't need one of them unless you're driving it on a public road.

I'd write a letter to the Police asking them to come and fingerprint your car as someone must have converted it while you were away and been noticed by them. Either that or they should tell you why they were on your property poking around a car that's been parked up for 5 weeks.

They only have ANPR on a couple of Hyundai H100s.

crzyhrse, Nov 17, 8:07pm
That's not actually strictly true. have a careful read of this:

Conceivably, at least without a gate, your driveway could be a road because the public have access to it.

crzyhrse, Nov 18, 9:25am
My point exactly.

jsbike, Nov 18, 9:29am
correct. this is why factories and the like now have to have gates to lock the public out, because if someone wanders in (past no entry signs etc, and then get hit by a forklift or something), the factory can be done for it.
