...but they left him an escape ramp! Far too generous!
We had summat similar when re-paving Preston town centre 20-odd years ago. Some arrogant twonk moved our 'Road Closed' barriers and parked his BMW on our newly laid paving. Came back a couple of hours later to find the car surrounded by a dozen or so packs of 80mm blocks and no-one willing to listen to his bullshit excuses. Let him out eventually - the police didn't quite share our sense of humour.

Happened in our local town; road was due to be planed off, advance notices put out etc - but one car remained in place.
Upshot of it was the owner couldn't be located so they had to resurface around it and return [at great cost] when it had moved.
I'd have dragged it away - and have done so on previous occasions on housing estates.

weve moved cars before on jobs, dragged them with the 3cx etc did some palisade fencing to a car park, put a barrier up and signs got there to start 5 cars had decided to park so moved them
on last job this olb boy insisted parking his old 3 series right on the corner at the bottom of steep drive on 90 degree bend made it a nightmare to get travis rd or anything bigger than a car, id asked him 3 times not to park there and wed coned it and red taped it he'd move them, so i parked 3cx behind him and the little utility tractor in front. let him out after an hour
