A man called police and said he lives in Michigan and owns property on Vine Street . He was notified by a neighbor that another person from the street was parked in his driveway. The man asked if police could tow the vehicle. Police told the man that police cannot tow vehicles on private property and that he would have to make those arrangements. Police then went to Vine Street and spoke with the residents at the address. One of the visitors said that she parked there because earlier there was no parking on the street. Police saw the vehicle was parked in the very beginning of the driveway. Police told the visitor it would probably be best to try and stay off his property, if possible. The residents said that the property is vacant and has been condemned. They also said there was a condemned sign on the house, but a neighbor took it off. Police will follow up Monday to see if that is the case.
