Raging neighbour leaves angry note on car blasting poor parking outside pub – everyone’s saying the same thing
A FURIOUS neighbour left a note slamming a police officer's parking - despite the copper abandoning the vehicle in a daring footrace.
The Hampshire Constabulary officer returned to his car to discover the raging parking note after chasing two suspects down a side street.
The officer successfully apprehended two suspected offenders following an alleged assault at a pub in Lymington, Hampshire.
But in doing so, he ditched his vehicle to jump out and dash after the suspected perpetrators - eventually catching them.
Despite his heroics, the copper returned to his car to find a note from a furious local slamming his haphazard parking.
The note read: "Seriously? What's with the parking guys? Ask yourselves!"

The Lymington and New Milton Police then shared the note on its Facebook page, who explained the parking fiasco.
They added: "We appreciate parking is a common issue, however, officers often have to make decisions in the heat of moment and we cannot always explain to residents what is happening and the reasons for our actions.

"I hope the angered resident can understand the reason for having to leave the vehicle where it was."
The post was then flooded with messages of support from others who couldn't believe the impatient note-writer's audacity.
One user wrote: "You can block my drive any time as can ambulances when you are performing a public service."
Another said: "Probably be a slightly different story if the author of the note was the one who called on your services.
"Guessing they thought you parked it for fun rather than to actually do the job."

"Hopefully the officer is OK and great work getting them detained quickly", said a third.
"Obviously the note writer will comment and apologise for their pathetic message."
