    Well, guess what! A little "passive aggression" worked! In the end I made up the labels saying "Please do not park in the bays reserved for unit XX" and I peeled back about a one centimetre corner and stuck one on the windscreen of each offending car and today the bays are empty! Hurrah!

    I also took pictures of the labels in place to demonstrate that only the smallest corner was affixed to the glass in case of complaints.

    Don't rush to the champagne just yet. I'd give it a week or two to allow the message to hit home, or until the other drivers realise that's not much you can do to stop them ;)

    Complaint about what and to whom?

    I believe that's already been covered - sticky labels, criminal damage etc.

    Exactly, so why evidence the fact you've committed an offence?

    As much an offence as that committed by the car drivers as their wheels are eroding the surface of the car park. :beer:
    Not even wrong

    Parking my car on the space prevents damage to the road surface from the sun and rain etc :)

    When i was using the bike for work, the car would sit unused for days at a time. It didnt take long before i noticed the colour change in the surrounding area compared to the lovely clean spot under the car.
