I live opposite a football stadium. Purpose built flat. When there’s a match, people always use our shared drive. They can be fined but the private company (not council) who issue the penalties are never here.

I don’t care too much if the odd car nicks a space for a match but what pisses me off is when a brand new Audi or BMW (same culprits I think) take up two spaces, leaving residents with no where to park.
Or today there was a merc parked out there and they filled a bag with rubbish from their car and chucked it on our shared front lawn.
One of the neighbours picked it up and taped it to the windscreen. When the match was over i took a picture of them take it off and throw it back on the lawn. Arseholes.
Then they flipped me the bird as they drove away.

I’ve got their faces and number plates and photos of them throwing the rubbish away.

Will the police care at all about this? Is it too petty? I just hate rich aresholes who think they own the world.
Last week a brand new BMW pulled off their fine (opposite, council owned) and threw it into our front lawn.

It just really fucks me off.

Should I just get over it and drink some wine instead?

Why do people always suggest (I’m guessing some are serious and some not) vandalising and stupidness. Don’t do anything to their car as you will be the one in trouble. Definitely block them in and go out. Report them also. Videoing their behaviour is also good for when reporting. If that’s alowed.

I can never understand the mindset of the stereotypical BMW/Audi driver and their thuggish behaviour on and off the road (not all, obviously). I was driving home the other afternoon and a BMW X5 went roaring past and the driver then threw a sandwich carton out of the window. Totally unnecessary.

Another vote for block the entrance of car park.
Either with chain and padlock as previously suggested or someone in high vis with traffic cones. ( we used to pay a couple of teenagers to do this in the run up to events, it had the added bonus that it attracted all their mates and a crowd of hooded youths hanging around made the car park undesirable to the "visitors").

Suggest they use stronger tape next time e.g. parcel tape. Plus a large sticky notice asking them to be more considerate when parking. They won't be of course, but you'll enjoy watching them remove it.

Other suggestion is Penguin bollards. I've seen them mentioned on many other threads, so they must be good.

Or post photos of the cars on facebook. People do this for pavement parkers in our local town.

I'd be tempted to put a very large poster across the front or back windscreen - which ever faces the road with 'The Driver Of This Car (Veh reg no.) Is A Selfish Turd!' Then send to football ground management and tell them they're welcome to use it before,during and after the match on the giant screens to remind fans to park considerately.

You could also get a group of like-minded friends/neighbours to stand and cheer their return while holding 'suitable' posters... make a show of them.
Or, 'Private Parking: We don't mind you parking here if you don't mind having to sort your car out before you leave!'

Check your options for poss criminality first tho.
