It can be extremely annoying having a car block you out but one man has an ingenious way of exacting his revenge on inconsiderate parkers.

Rather than leaving a strongly worded note underneath their wipers, the garage owner moves the cars parked illegally outside his entrance - and sticks them on his roof.

The unnamed businessman has become something of a hero for locals in Qingdao city, China, who have stopped to take pictures of the stranded cars.

A blue van and black car that needed to be moved were helpfully picked up by the man’s forklift truck - stopping them from being towed, at least.

Stuck: The car owners had to find their own ways to get their cars down (CEN)

Rather less helpfully for the car owners, however, was the garage owner’s refusal to get the car back down from his roof.

Police refused to help the motorists as it was a private matter so it was left to them to hire a tow truck at their own expense to lower their cars back to the ground.

One driver said he was now planning to sue the garage owner for scratching his car while placing it on the roof.

Unsurprisingly, though, no one has parked in front of the garage doors since.

Funny that.
