i had the same problem with a jackass college kid parking his ricewagon in the motorcycle parking area. usually blocking my bike in, making me ride the sidewalk to get out. i left notes, nice ones, about it. i also got the office to warn him about it, and he still did it. wasnt until i left a 9mm round on his roof that it stopped.

Nice notes to putting a hole in the car?

escalation FTW!

i didnt SHOOT the car, i took one of my rounds out of my handgun, wiped it down and placed it on top of his car, where he would see it when he next got in his car. there was no escalation, he knew what i was alluding to.

I heard somewhere that you just put an unfired round on top of his car.

Yes, much more sensible now that I understand. I read sensational details like that into everyones posts. My reality check failed me on that one.

Don't clean your window and go straight to the police, report property damage and sue his @ss for new windshield and wipers.

If you didnt have a driveway, or it was being occupied by another vehicle, would YOU want to be able to park in front of your own house?

Honestly so many people are throwing the whole "its public property" card here. And while it may apply to the OP's situation I sure as hell wouldnt want random people parking in front of my house all the time.

haha...glue their doors shut :)

All their door locks, house and cars.

Nah, as tempting as that would be, it'd be more satisfying to take the high road and catch them on film and get them arrested for it.

He can always do both.

Reference to another thread. One guy spent the morning shoveling out his vehicle (he didn't have a driveway), occupied it with his trashcan or something while he went out. Came back, neighbors had requisitioned the spot, tossed the can into his yard, all the while they had a driveway they were too lazy to shovel.

no seriously, there is some strong glue out there now. Go buy like a 6ft Ronald McDonald doll and glue it to their roof or something.

With the small chance that the guy would go to the police with the round and file a complaint against you, I'd have bought another box of a different brand ammo and used one of those. If the cops come knocking on you're door, you can show you don't use that ammo.

Yes, get the police. If this guy is acting this irrationally, he probably won't be pleasant in a direct confrontation. Best to let the professionals deal with him.
Plus, if you try to tell him that the law is on your side, he probably won't believe you. If a law officer tells him instead, and also informs him that vandalism is a crime, then he might listen.

i live in a house now (not that apartment complex with the jackass college kid anymore) and i hate it when people park in front of my house. but, ive also gone out and pointed out the oil stains they leave, and they are pretty good about not doing it twice. being public property, they can park there all they want. talking to them about making the street ugly or dirtier (oil stains, leaks and such) works a ton better than gluing their winders. i havent done the 9mm on a roof in this neighborhood yet, but they all think im whacko as it is...

Just to kill your guys evil revenge fantasies, i'm not going to do anything that would jeopardize my position with my company... as tempting as they are. I'll go by tonight, probably talk to them, and if they aren't reasonable call the police. I know they haven't been reasonable the last few days, but whatever. I'll keep you guys posted.

If it is a public street what you want and what is legal are 2 different things and what is legal trumps what you want. If you decide to take matters into your own hands and do something to someone elses property don't be surprised if they retaliate in kind.

i used a plinker round for that, i still had some left in my pistol from a shooting trip. my normal is gold dots for most every other occasion. my thinking was that i didnt want to throw away a good round. the whole scenario would go very differently now, that was before i had kids. now im a lot more careful how i approach situations, too much to lose

Buy everything in cash, always wear gloves and use newspaper letter clippings. Wait at least one year to get revenge.

Note to self: Never tell sourceninja my address, and never piss sourceninja off.

I would buy a cheap used car and park it in front of their house until I got tired of paying for the registration, inspection stickers, and insurance for it.

Someone else who thinks they own public streets.
