Quote from @Kim Meredith Hampton:
You could call the company that towed and drooped it in front if your house? If it’s been four days, call next week to have it towed, they probably won’t know it was you that called
The thing is that I don't know the name of the company that towed and dropped it off in front of my house. My camera only showed what appeared to be a private pickup truck that towed and dropped the car off.

Call the hot-line. The car owner isn't going to know who called.
That or jack up back of car, put it on rollers and drag it down the street away from your house. Tag your it.
What do you mean by "tag your it"?

I have installed surveillance camera in the front of my house and 3 days ago it captured that a pickup truck towed a coupe (a type of car) to the front of my house and the coupe has been since parked in front of my house. I don't think the coupe belongs to any of my close neighbors as I have not seen this coupe before. It also captured someone opening the door of the coupe but left soon afterwards. I inspected the coupe through the window and it appears the car hasn't been driven for a long time and there was dust accumulation inside. Today marks the 4th day of the coupe being parked in front of my house and I looked up my city's vehicle abatement code enforcement that if a vehicle appears to have been abandoned on a street for more than 72 hours that I can call the abandoned vehicle hotline in the police department. I'm considering calling the hotline but concern if the owner of the vehicle may retaliate. I have a feeling that since the coupe was parked in front of my house, the owner may be around. Any suggestions on how I should proceed? Thank you.

I have a friend that bought a rental and even though the prior renter was liable for the bill, in order to turn on the utility, she had to go in person and show proof of who she was and of her new ownership. Took her half a day. The utility refused to turn on the service over the phone due to being owed money by a prior tenant. I'm not going to have that happen to me or one of my tenants.

Please post your mailing address so that numerous people in this thread can send you the $8 that apparently they value so little.
More important than this $8 bill is finding out who is responsible for utility bills that go unpaid. In my area the bill belongs to the tenant. If they don't pay, nothing happens to me. If you are on the hook, you need to adjust your practices to take this risk into account.

you have to be kidding me? Please don't tell me "its about the principal of the thing"
Pay the guys the $8 for goodnesss sake and move on. You must have better things to do.
Tell us what happens when you take the guy to collections for $8.
my question is “whose responsibility is that?” and this is for garbage only. I’m not sure if he has other bills he did not pay and final notices of those bills are coming to me.

I had a tenant who moved out almost 6 months ago. Yesterday, I received a written notice mailed to my address from his garbage collection company that he used while renting my property that he has a past due around $8. The garbage collection company said this is a final notice and I need to pay this amount within 30 days or a lien will be placed on my property. I have noticed my tenant and still waiting for his response. I know my tenant’s new address and he bought a home. What disciplinary action can I take against him if he doesn’t pay on time? Paying his past due myself is the last resort.
Post: Disagreement on location of property line for installing fence

I'm a homeowner who plans to install a fence on my driveway along my property line to preserve privacy b/c there have been a lot of strangers going in and out of my neighbor's house constantly. I'm concerned. I gave a note to my neighbor (owner of her house) a few days ago that I'm going to start today and any post or rails will be on my side and I will pay the cost of the installation myself. In addition, the neighbor's trash bins have been next to my neighbor's side of the wall adjacent to my driveway. If I completely enclose the driveway with the fence, my neighbor will have to move her trash bins somewhere else b/c there won't be enough space to let those bins to pass through. I started the work today and my neighbor suddenly said I installed the posts past my property line and she will have to ask the county tomorrow to do an assessment about the location of the correct boundary line. I said I wouldn't object. I plan to ask her how long does the process take b/c I'm positive I did not install the posts past my property line (I measured it). What else should I do now and how should I continue to handle this situation?

I couldn't see the handyman's face clearly because he had his hoodies on.

Everyone else has already pointed out your rights to do what you please on your property, so I wont go into that.
However, I need to out your inconsistency here. You invited them to build the privacy screen, then refused access to do so. That's going to be confusing on the neighbors side. I don't think you're obligated to install the privacy screen, but you need to figure that out before you continue the conversation. At this time, nobody is helping the situation.
I agreed that they can build their privacy screen at their own cost, but never agreed to allow access through my property to do so.
