The man was restoring an old car in his driveway, but the interfering neighbour wasn't happy and ended up reporting the DIY mechanic.
An angry motor enthusiast has shared the story of him getting even with a nosey neighbour who landed him a £200 fine.
The anonymous Reddit user explained: "I had a classic Cadillac that I had been restoring. I had already completed all of the interior and exterior bodywork and paint. I had the engine out and was slowly rebuilding it. "A week later I got another violation. The cover wasn't enough. I moved the car to my back yard, parked it between two sheds with the cover….another violation and this time there was a fine. I took it to court.
He added: "I said it was an art sculpture and let them take me to court. I took a pic of Cadillac Ranch in Texas as one of my exhibits that my car was a piece of art. The judge agreed and that 'work of art' stayed in my yard for the next eight years until I moved."
