What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]
they used to do this at our uni if you parked without a pass.
Unfortunately they got done by the law for sticking un-removable stuff on the windscreens. They got round it by sticking them on the rear side windows, any other window is asking for trouble. |

They got round it by sticking them on the rear side windows, any other window is asking for trouble. I was thinking that myself. I thought it wa sclassed as an act of vandalism if you attach something to a car which hinders the drivers view. Windscreens were a definate no-no and side windows were ok (the front ones could be wound down to see their mirror), which was why you used to see so many people leave car parks with their window down in the rain. I used to have a similar problem where i lived, but it was a public road so anyone could park. The problem was people watching you and even following you to see if you got into a car so they could get your space. On a few occasions, when i was sitting in the car warming it up, people knocked on my windscreen to ask if i was going out so they could get the space! Letting down at least 2 tyres is probably the easiest option and it does no damage. -- sme |
You say this is *your* car park, but you need to be clear what this
means before you take action. Either it is reserved in some way for your use (either because it is privately owned or because the local authority has set it aside for your exclusive use) OR it is a public parking place. If the former, you have my sympathy, and perhaps some of the actions mentioned in this thread will help. However, you should really turn to legal remedies rather than vigilantism - you're more than likely to get confrontations with the kind of people who invade other people's parking spaces - good luck, take a big dog with you. If you don't have legal right to exclusive parking, on the other hand, tough. Suck it down. There's nothing more annoying than those nutters who leave their own personal traffic cones on the street in front of their house. If I parked in a legal parking spot and someone vandalized my car, I'd take photos, have it professionally cleaned and take them to the small claims courts for costs. So which are you, aggrieved victim or cone-nutter? |
Zak ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying : It is privately owned by the residents of the flats. We pay for its upkeep and maintenance and insurance. Its boundary is shown in the deeds of our flats. So which are you, aggrieved victim or cone-nutter? Aggrieved victim. So follow up on the clamp warning signs. Buy a clamp. They're not expensive. http://www.towsure.com/default.asp?d=36&t=148 |
The message
from sme contains these words: Letting down at least 2 tyres is probably the easiest option and it does no damage. When shoppers used to pinch my wife's disabled space in Hounslow we just parked each end of 'em boxing them in with less than an inch to spare. Since we both ran old bangers neither of us cared a lot if they struggled to get out. Surprisingly, quite a few chose to ring the police, who were in on the game and would come round and give 'em a bollocking for parking in a disabled space without a blue badge. -- Skipweasel.

I used to have a reserved space at work, because I was on 24 hour call for things such as fires, deaths etc. Every Friday a group of people used to come along for a noon prayer meeting, and I was sometimes out. Nearly every time, one of them would use that space, and (unlike me) was untouchable because they were not a student or an employee. When I returned, I just parked across the front of the space.

The carpark is not owned by the residents of the flats it is under lease to them. Pop down to your local major library and read up about leasing laws (most are open till 4pm on Saturdays). You can then understand the difference between owning and leasing a peace of property. |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
