Sorry it's parking again - people 'reserving' spaces

Someone in our road has decided that one of the parking spaces - which are council owned and free for anyone to use - is 'theirs' and taken to reserving it with a cone 🙄. Annoyingly they actually live in some flats that have their own parking but for some reason choose not to park there. Theyre not very approachable and have another neighbour keeping watch when they are out to make sure the cone isn't touched - it's laughable but also baffling!

There isn't lots of parking here and to have one space taken up makes things tricky at times - we've been shouted at for removing the cone but I cant see why on earth the person thinks they have more right to the place than anyone else.

What can we do? I really dont want to get into any drama but it's getting ridiculous.

I’d love to engage in covert activity like replacing the cone, throwing it into a bin/skip every day or just running over the thing. But I’m too scared of conflict so I’d just call the council.

We did actually call the council and it turns out our road is unadopted so they wont get involved. But I still dont think that he's allowed to put cones out regardless of who owns the space - am I right?

Loving some of these ideas though especially the Sharpie cock!
