Please help me calm down ...

after you get your driveway clear of other's vehicles can you block your drive with bikes or something so noone can pull in but you? We used to do that when we lived in town. There is an annual Old Threshers and people would park in your parking or your yard without asking. I would take some stakes and run a chain or rope across your drive. Put no parking out there where people see it.
So sorry people are so rude at a time when you are suffering the loss of your friend. But this too shall pass. Hold on and it will be over soon!

Awww. I feel for you. It must be so hard to see your friend's stuff sold like that. I bet the new owners will enjoy those items as much as your friend did. Everything is finding a good home, so take comfort in that.
As for the parking situation, yikes! It will be over soon, but the estate sale company should really be more considerate and professional. Some signs would have been nice.

I think Charlee said it all.
I know this is a difficult time for you. At least you'll always have the memories of your friend and in the mean time you have all of us to help you through this!

It's better to come on here and vent then confronting someone out there. At least you know we are here to help!

Call a tow truck. You don't have to deal with your driveway being blocked. Emergency vehicles have to get thur if needed, the police should help. Peop;e cna't just use your driveway with your permission.
Sorry about the loss of your friend.

Call the police and let them handle this inconsiderate person.
I'm truly sorry about the loss of your friend. I lost my best friend to cancer last November so I know it's rough.
I'm also one of those people that carry armloads out of estate sales. Although it hurts to see her things go (it's like losing them all over again and it makes their passing so final) please know that the people buying them really want them so they're going to be taken care of. I bought my high school English teacher's Featherweight and I can tell you, it's cherished probably more than when she had it. I also bought some vintage hankies from one of my mom and dad's neighbors and they too will be cherished in a butterfly quilt.
