Police 'Headered' Note on Windscreen - Parking in Service Area

Odds on its no more than a scare letter.
Scare letters and scare signs are better than a ppc
 However the message is that you shouldn't be parking there without permission.
Now you know that its annoying someone, either get permission to park from the landowner, or park some where else.

 And while you can not be clamped or towed, or even face police action some R sole may accidentally bump the vehicle or drop some screws under the wheels.
get permission (they can only say no) or park elsewhere.
if you ask nicely you may well get permission, especially if it makes a place look occupied and cared for.

Yeah I do agree, the hassle of damage to vehicle isn't worth it
Nah the staff have made it clear I am not welcomed to park although where I park is within their zone or shop unit. I park at the back of the empty shop unit which is next door to them.

Let me just Clarify specifically

it is in a serviced area behind an Empty Shop Unit which has been empty for over a year. Unless the solicitors of the next door retail units come along to state what land is owned by who, I am simply assuming where I am park is not belonging to the operating shop Unit.

But it belongs to someone and "assuming" when parking gets thousands and thousands of motorists in a whole lot of trouble and expense.

I think you are lucky, put it down to experience and please read signage or you will be back here with a real headache.

Please show us that note.

And you thought that illiterate scribble came from the Old Bill?

Just comply with the request of the landowner. You're lucky that a PPC like Excel, VCS or UKCPM aren't involved or ultimately you'd be facing a day in court and a huge stack of work to protest your innocence - and from what you've written I think you'd have a very hard job. 

Any bit of private parking land is potentially a mantrap for the unwary or the motorist who feels they have an entitlement to park how, where and whenever they like. 

Bad handwriting, incorrect "youre" (should be "your").

Also, that logo on the note may be an older police force logo - possibly Yorkshire or Lancashire (based on my memory of the Wars of the Roses), but the greenery on those roses was at a different angle.

Seems to be a Northamptonshire Police logo - possibly copied and pasted from the internet?

Good spot - attempting to impersonate the police? Or just someone who has access to their logo'd notepaper?

Well I guess they may have to get their legals involved to clearly state up to what point of the Land is owned by them. I may just have to buy the retail shop unit next door just to park the car there given the small land at the back is part of the empty shop unit
