Car Parking Fued

[Gully]

If you really want to get them caught set up a camera. It's the only way.

Failing that get the mans name, email, work, phone number - anything you can. We're a creative lot on here once given a brief!

Not sure how much a camera with a motion sensor would cost, though it is a good idea. You could tell him that damage has been done to your car and you are concerned for not only your property but also that of everyone else in the street, therefore you have been to the Police who are interested in the matter, they have lent you a camera for the car and are eager to pursue and catch the guilty party. If you do this from the angle of being in everyone's interest, without accusing him directly (stupid idea if he is a meat-head) you might find that things go quiet, chances are he sounds like the sort of bloke who would avoid unnecessary interest from the boys in blue!

Bloody hell what a nutcase.

Wire the car to the mains, and the frazzled lump in his own front garden holding a key, will for sure be you're culprit.

I remember he used to know someone who could make a mean car bomb

My girlfriend had eactly the same problem in her student house - their next door neighbours even went as far as snapping off windscreen wipers and physically intimidating the girls in the student house. The Police's advice (which, I'm sure won't be too dissimilar to Edna K's) was that nothing can be done without evidence - i.e. unless the girls got a video (for example) of their neighbour vandalising their cars, nothing could be done. However, the street is for the use of the public and anybody can park there, so long as they are parked legally.

Bizarrely, the neighbour even had CCTV on the front of his house to 'protect his part of the road'.

If only the police had checked his CCTV tapes!

Two choices. do the same back to his car and start are tit for tat exchange, which you are likely to lose.... or

give in and let him think he's won. wait a couple of months, and then vandal, or get someone to vandel the shit out of his car every week or so. He'll probably forget about your feud, and wont have a clue who's doing it!

Unless its a modern car that uses a remote to unlock it!!

Place a nest of wasps through his letterbox then set fire to a 6 foot crucifix in his front garden

this happens even in our very small village ,people become so possessive over a small piece of the road that is not even theirs we had visitors a few months ago soft top BMW with tinted windows wooooooooooooooo!!!! and the nob head next door spent over half an hour staring at it he had plenty of room to park behind it ...........................BUT IT WAS IN HIS SPACE until my mate went out and asked him if was thinking of buying one ...that done the trick and after my mate offered him a fiver to watch it over night something was said in welsh and we heard no more.
if you pay road tax you are entitled to park where there is a space,unless you are disabled when you can park in someone elses space if you like

Don't be a grass and besides the police would be as much use as a paper shoe in the rain

2 options

Rise above and do nothing

or

Fight fire with fire , be inventive !

This is pretty good. You could always take it to pieces to make it smaller. The only issue for me is you'd need to be parked under a street light or leave an internal light on as it could be too dark otherwise.

Territorial stuff innit. Some people need reminding that they own their house, not the street outside the house.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Don't be a grass.

How old are you?

Here's a thought, pretend you're starting up a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme, get hold of a few leaflets and stick them through a few doors including his. You could also buy a fake CCTV cam which you could mount looking at your car. Obviously neither of these are foolproof but they may act as sufficient deterrant to discourage this arsehole from touching your car. I had a similar experience when I lived in Hassocks so I took some photos of the person concerned right in front of him so he knew I was doing it. He confronted me and threatened me (rather silly as I was much bigger and younger than him) so I said go ahead and see what trouble you'll end up in. He never bothered me again.

Hire a gang with a white van and get them to pose as gas workers and dig a bloody great hole in his piece of the road.Leave a little sign that says "danger- gas" .......and just leave it.


Or park down by the harbour and walk home.

vengeance sucks - dont do it, police dont care......just bite it, .....most english towns are full of these sorts of ppl.....take the high ground...let it go and dont be involved.

Is the right answer - life's too short

 

[chops]

Escalation is the ONLY answer. Fight back and fight dirty.

 

[Goring Gull]

I think this is a common problem wherever you live if you have no offroad parking. It's a short term victory to fight back with similar tactics and chances are it will get out of hand - I favour the pretend you have backed down and leave it a few months before revenge.
