A woman was left "shaken" after a stranger left a note on her car criticising her parking on a street in Manchester.
The note appeared to be written by a disgruntled neighbour telling the motorist to pay for a car park instead of taking "valuable" space on the street.
The "threatening" handwritten note was put on a vehicle in Oldham, Manchester, off Radcliffe Street in Royton.
An anonymous poster claimed her mother-in-law found the piece of paper on her car on Saturday.

In a post on Facebook, the woman said she was "disappointed", adding that the person should "refrain from writing threatening letters".
The note read: "Tin opener available at 81 or 83.
"Next time you need to leave your car for more than a couple of hours, pay for a car park and refrain from taking valuable parking spaces outside my home!!
"Next time the can opener may not be so forthcoming."
The incident was shared in an anonymous post on a Royton Facebook group.
In response, the poster said their relative was left shaken and worried about where to park in future, despite the manoeuvre being "perfectly legal".
"Disappointed to share this was found on my mother-in-law’s car today on Radcliffe Street," they wrote.
"This person has no idea of the circumstances around the reason for parking there, however this is irrelevant as the road is not owned by either of these properties.

"She is fairly shaken and now is worried about where to park when this was perfectly legal and reasonable.
"If anyone has suffered any criminal damage this may enlighten them as to where it’s come from, obviously cannot be sure.
"Please ensure you move to a house with a parking space if you need to park close to your home, and refrain from writing threatening letters."
