Legal Question in Civil Litigation in South Dakota

Re: Property In the Street

Your statement of facts does not describe the particulars of the arrangement where you say you and the neighbors have shared parking? Do you both rent? Do you both own? Who owns the land on which the driveway/parking spaces is located? Why do you say they are shared? If your neighbors have the right to use two of the parking spaces in this shared drive, then it would be likely that they have the right to seek to discourage and prohibit others from using property which is rightfully theirs to use, such as by use of the cones. As for the cones in the street, if it is a public street, the neighbors do not have exclusive right to use the on-street parking in front of their house. You would have the right to move cones placed in the street but I would strongly discourage simply taking the cones and claiming their are yours because they are lost property. You know who they belong to. Instead, just move them and leave them in a place where they can be easily seen by the neighbor.
