Police were left with no choice but to remove a car which had been left partially blocking a busy road.
Officers found the vehicle in Hambro Hill in Rayleigh on Saturday morning after recieving reports of a dangerously parked vehicle.
Photos posted on Facebook by officer show the black Mercedes virtually blocking one side of the road on a bend.
Police attempted to contact the owner before calling in a truck to remove it.
In the Facebook post, the officers said: "It's really important that you continue to report the things that are causing you concern in your community so that we can take action.
"Officers were on Hambro Hill shortly before 5.30am on Saturday, April 10, after concerns were raised with us about a car being parked dangerously on the road.
"After attempting to contact the owner several times, the car was removed to ensure the safety of other road users."
