Can you have your neighbor's car towed away if she parks in your driveway?
In practice this is very difficult to do anything about. I know because it happened to me. The police weren't interested unless any damage was done to the property, and the council weren't interested unless the pavement was being blocked. Similarly, I am a lawyer and my litigation colleagues said there was pretty much nothing I could do about it except stick a sticker in the window asking them not to park there.
Another PerspectiveIt must depend on your jurisdiction. If a car blocks your driveway, preventing you from accessing it, the car can and will be towed by the local police and a citation will be issued. Most municipalities in the United States have town and city ordinances regarding how close a driver can park to a driveway. For example, there is a five foot limit locally. The police are happy to oblige when a property owner complains. If the car is parked on private property it certainly can be towed. If you are the owner of property no one else has the right to park their car in your driveway unless you have given them permission.

Is the sidewalk private or public property?
It depends on where the sidewalk is. A sidewalk situated on private property, such as the entry way to a commercial building or church, is private property.
Sidewalks along the street are treated differently. Although the landowner may own the land up to the center line of the street, generally, the town has taken easement rights that create rights in the public to use the street and sidewalk for all purposes of a public way. In that case, although the sidewalk is on private property the public has the right to use it for passage.

A deed of trust can have different meanings in different jurisdictions. In some states a deed of trust has the effect of a mortgage. A trustee holds the property until the debt has been paid.

How can i legally take ownership of a trailer abandoned on my property?
The laws of most (all?) states record the ownership of mobile homes as if they were vehicles (which, technically, they all are). Find the VIN number, usually located somewhere on the frame (usually in the area of the A-frame), and contact your state DMV. If there is no DMV record for it, you must research the laws of your state for the porcess of taking possession of "abandoned" property which may require you to make a diligent effort to locate the owner (such as taking out advertisements in your local paper, etc). In most states you simply can't take possession and assume ownership of something that does not belong to you.
