A furious neighbour slapped police with a note threatening to clamp a marked car while they were attending the burglary of a 94-year-old victim.

The note read: ‘This car park is for residents only.
‘This is just a warning this time if the vehicle is seen parked again it will be clamped.
‘Thank you. (Do not ignore).’
West Midlands police blasted the note claiming they parked ‘professionally and considerately’ while they were fighting a crime.
