I really want to just go put something under the wheels but I’ve never talked to these people.
Update edit: thank you for all the replies. I went over and knocked but no answer. It’s definitely not chocked. If I see them come home I’ll go back over. I’m worried as soon as the weight shifts loading it that it will just go down the hill.
Update:
Or be neighborly and go over with a couple big blocks and tell them you noticed that’s sketchy and wanted to help out!
I posted an update. I don’t like the idea of messing with the trailer myself at all. The last thing I need is to get shot or something because someone thought I was breaking into their trailer.
Murica!
Not only does it need blocking on the wheels, but that thing’s also apt to be stolen with the hitch just sitting there like that. They might consider parking a car in front of it too.
For real. That’s a nice trailer. Any dingus with a truck could run off with it in 5 minutes.
Probably more like 1 minute. Sorta related…

Two questions: do you like these people, and is anything anywhere near where it could go if it starts rolling?
I think a more important question is do you actively hate these people?
That’s the only variable that matters. Unless there’s active hatred, there’s no question about whether OP should intervene. Obviously OP should intervene.
This is a trolley problem with zero people on one of the tracks.
Even if you hate these people, that’s an accident waiting to happen and could potentially injure someone completely innocent.
Personally, I’d just buy some chocks and put them there.
No! Don’t fuck with people’s stuff. Just go talk with them.
Chock them if the people are unreachable.
The only reason to make this anything other than a knock on the neighbor’s door is massive social anxiety, and one shouldn’t let that run their life.
How is putting blocks “fucking with peoples stuff” when this is parked so unsafely?
I feel like people in this thread are being so absurd. OP specifically said they knocked and there was no answer.
This is an accident waiting to happen and people have died because of this kinda thing.
So knock on their door.
Go for it, use a personal anecdote if you have one about how you or someone you know was bit by not putting blocks in front of the wheels.
If you don’t have one… make up a white lie about how your now deceased great uncle Johnny told you he left a trailer out without blocks on a little slope like that and it rolled into the street.
The anecdotes / a story can be a … easier path to selling the truth that can feel a bit more humbled vs “I know better than you, so do what I say.”
No. Never. Not once in life.
Their yard. Their house. Their shit.
Mind your own business.
When that thing rolls and hit your house and make you a disabled homeless person…
So dramatic. People don’t like being told they’re doing something wrong. You can suggest but yes. Their stuff their mistakes.
Mind your own business fails when it starts to affect you. Thats what i was telling
This isn’t affecting you. 9/10 that trailer isn’t going anywhere.
People don’t like being told their wrong
I think the way your commenting is wrong.
Sure bud. I can tell most people here like to huddle around their favorite apps browsing lemmy and have strong opinions on things that honestly have no bearings on them.
