    I always find gummed labels slapped on the windscreen is a good deterrent, I used to have a similar problem years ago with the parking outside my house - residents only bays. Opposite was anight club so we used to get any tom - !!!!!! - harry or shela parking there.

    So I started slapping gummed labels on the cars, police were in agreement and they couldnt see a problem with that because the werent permanent and didnt cause damage the there would be no offence committed, a right pain in the !!!! to get rid of once the gum had dried on :rotfl::rotfl:

    Is this on a private road we are talking about? Has the OP spoke to whoever she pays her 'service charge' to? Surely it should be their responsibility to make sure the space is available?

    This reminds me of some stickers I printed off years ago and kept in my glove box for use on any car that parked inconsideratley.

    They were inspired by a TV advert (VW I think) that had a tag line - Designed by Computer, Built by Robots.

    My stickers were thus:
    Designed By Computer
    Built By Robots
    Parked by a Moron!

    Obviously each 'offending' car had several stuck right in the middle of the windscreen.

    Actually it was for the Fiat Strada.

    Someone did that to my car when I parked on a private car park one day. Huge stickers on every single window.

    Shame for the bloke who did it that I had permission from my mother-in-law (his employer) to park there and he spent his entire lunch hour scraping it all off. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
