He has recently started parking his caravan in his own driveway then wheel-clamps it himself. Should I get Social Services involved?
Thanks

How considerate of you to be so concerned about your neighbour's state of mind! Few people would be so thoughtful.
If all your neighbour does is to safeguard his vehicle with a clamp, it is reasonably harmless as a mania. If he manacles himself to the caravan, then you have a problem.
At this stage I would not get social services involved as they are likely to question YOUR state of mind and once they do you can never get rid of them.

I think that the wheel clamping of his own vehicle is to stop other people stealing it! It sounds like a good idea to me. May look weird from a neighbour's point of view though!

Perhaps while he was at work the other day, his van got broken into, and now he's extra cautious. I wouldn't worry about what he's doing. (Although, if you are truly concerned for him, just keep an eye out, and if you see him out there putting bars in his windows, and setting up booby-traps, then maybe you should try talking to him...maybe he's lost faith in there being good people out there and just needs a friend!)

It is causing no harm to anybody so why do you want to waste social services time on such a trivial matter? Maybe you need to go out more!

Encourage him to go get some therapy, or get some medicine from the doctor. No tell him to go to the doctor and ask him if he can diagnose him with any mental illnesses.

no. Don't call in any professionals. Talk to him about it if you want, but don't make an issue of it. just mention it in passing conversation every so often and try to build a picture with tact as to what is going on.

err, i do sympathise with you as my friends husbands has the same problem with his caravan, and i would like to get social services out to him, but i think they are both concerned about someone stealing their caravan!?
(if i was married to them i would not be concernced about someone stealing it, i'd advertise it!)

Certainly not!!!!!!!!!!!! - silly s*d!!!!!!!!!!! - Your neighbour is just being super cautious to prevent the theft of his caravan from the street or driveway.
Besides which, what business is it of yours what your neighbour does within the confines of his own property???? Leave him alone and mind your own business.

I don't believe what I'm reading. This question is obviously posted tongue-in-cheek, why has everybody jumped up and down so seriously with their answers? Why don't some people just lighten up?
