Upset man builds fence around car-share vehicle parked in his driveway

I think this illustrates a big difference between Germany (where I use Car2Go) and this particular neighbourhood in the USA, as Car2Go (now ShareNow) has made it pretty clear that as the driver, it’s your responsibility for any tickets incurred during your rent, and that you as a driver agree to leave the car in a proper, legal location within the city’s Home Zone when you’re done. They even have spelled out explicitly that if they do have to retrieve the vehicle, then you as the person who left it there will be charged for it.

So really, if this happened here, then the property owner could have had the car removed after informing the police, Car2Go would be billed and then Car2Go would recoup the fee from the credit card of the guy who last rented the car.

Knowing German love of leaving no corner case uncovered, I am sure they also have explicit laws about the fence building stunt, but since I haven’t come into contact with that yet, I cannot say.
