Parking in private car park - not worthy of a diagram

[Timefortea99]

I live in a block of flats, each with a designated car space. There are also 4 visitors spaces. We are fairly near a station, and lots of offices and periodically we get people who decide to use the visitors spaces to save paying for parking and who work nearby or commute into London, or who live elsewhere and leave a works vehicle over the weekend etc.

Most people stop doing it when you leave a note but recently we had two at the same time. One never came back after a note, the other has ignored the note and he parks there Monday-Friday. What is really galling is that everyday he parks across 2 spaces (presumably to protect his precious car) so it only leaves 2 spaces free. If the other spaces get filled other visitors park in one of the designated spaces, which is also annoying but not the main point here.

We do have a property management company - but will they have anyway of finding who owns the car, and can they do anything about it? We did have a sign up saying no parking, you will be clamped, but I have never known them to - and I think it is now illegal to do that anyway.

Any ideas? (Tempting as it is to hire a skip and put it behind the car, I want to get the cheeky fucker to stop doing it.)

Post it notes. Lots of post it notes.

I wonder what these sort of people think will happen. I'd never dare do something like this because, apart from not being a twat, I'd worry that I'd come back to find my car had been keyed or similar.

Stick some match sticks in his Tyre air valves. Repeat until he gets the message.

I am WAH. He has not parked here today! I was ready to get a photo.

What gets to me is that he actually parks across 2 spaces. Not only should he not be parking here, he is taking up 2 spaces. Cheeky fucker. And that is every time so it must be deliberate.

Bollards not an option. Our property management company don't allow them. Next to the bank of 4 visitors spaces there is another space that belongs to a flat. People used to assume it was a visitor space so the owner installed a bollard - and they had to remove it.

They also investigated a barrier at front years ago. Not sure why, but that got rejected.

I love wild birds, hearing them singing. Nowhere to hang a feeder. I might just scatter some seed in a liberal fashion and watch them all come flying.

I wonder if the car belongs to to a friend of one of the people who rent? The management could send a letter to all residents setting out the policy. Then put up a scary 'parking is for Residents and their visitors only, and in marked bays only'
