A CF parking on my drive!

Soooo I've seen all the threads about CF's and their cars and today I'm here to share mine 🤣
So I moved into a new house last week. It's a townhouse with a drive for one car underneath (think garage without a door underneath the house). Different people seem to think they're entitled to my driveway. I've been saying at my mums 50/50 as we have a young baby and the house needs refurbing. So probably 3 out of the 5 days We've been here I come over in the morning and there is a white car parked in the drive. Couldn't figure out who it was til my cousin was over and saw him getting into his car (after being parked on my drive all night til 11am!) and confronted him. He lives in the flats across the road and down a bit. This morning I came over and someone different was in he space but sat in his car so told him to move. Once I'd parked I saw the white car coming in looking to park in my space again (it's sort of a cul-de-sac type thing) but went on to go in someone else space as I was in mine. These spaces are exclusive to each house and it is included in our rent. What would you do?

I forgot to add that I shall be cycling round to the flat as a precaution!

I love @feistyoldbat 's suggestions, but this says that DVLA won't give out details of car owners unless request is from an accredited parking firm if is regarding a private car park. I wonder how Feisty gets round that, as she clearly has found a way

www.saga.co.uk/magazine/motoring/cars/using/2016/parking-fines-on-private-land

"If the car park operator is not accredited, then they will be unable to get hold of your details via the DVLA and will find it hard to pursue you. It has been known for some motorists to make the process easier because they write to the operator to complain about having a ticket put on their car, and in doing so, provide them with their name and address"

You could start by leaving a polite but firm notice on his windscreen informing him that the parking space is private property and yours and not to park there.

Then go full Feisty / vigilante.
