Neighbours and parking hell - I've contacted the landlord

I live in a square, and about half of those houses are owned and rented out by landlords. I own mine and so do the other half. A woman and her teenage daughter moved in a few months ago. She is divorced and their son lives with her XH. They have upset most people in the time since they arrived, which was in May. There are allocated parking spaces and they don't use them. They just nick everyone else's. They've been heard yelling at a neighbour over parking and calling him a cunt, parking across exits and blocking people in and parking outside others' houses. They have two cars and the daughter who doesn't work has just passed her test and got this Fiat, so the car barely moves, she just dumps it. It was abandoned (literally, it was shocking parking) outside my house last night when I got home after a very long shift at 10pm so I had to park somewhere down the street and get piss wet through walking back to my house and piss wet through walking to the car this morning too. It was left outside someone else's house for about a week last week.

If it is still there when I get home tonight I am going to knock on their door and ask them to shift it and not use my space again. They do have spaces, they just need to use them. I have already messaged the landlord (who gave another neighbour permission to pass on his number) and told him this, and that I will contact him again if they give me a load of abuse.

Am I doing the right thing and if not what would you advise? They've upset at least six separate houses in less than six months!

I once jumped into the back of a car that had pulled into park on my drive - the woman went berserk and started screaming aggressively at me. I said “oh I thought you were my taxi, why else would you be parked on my drive” - after more screaming (she was nuts) she sped off down the road. I genuinely did think it was my taxi, bizarre for someone to park by your door otherwise! Maybe jump in her car next time she pulls in and say “but if the car’s not for me why are you outside my house.

Brilliant!!! I'll have to try that myself if it happens to me 😁
