    Try and find out from the Man Co what the arrangement is, and how well it's policed. Hopefully that's jobbie jobbed.
    If not, leave a nice note under this car's windscreen, along with that section of your deeds. Explain as others have mentioned above; you will be moving in on the Xth, and will require your parking space from that day on. Any questions, please contact me on 089573457634. Many thanks, Igor.
    Have you noticed if it's the same car that's usually parked there? And is it a BMW, Audi, Range Rover, or lowered/customised hot hatch? If 'yes', then take photos of it, and leave your dashcam running when you park up in your space at night.

    For the defiant (after warning off with a note).  Stronger measures are occasionally needed.  Blocking in and making them wait to be able to depart is a favourite if through layout and co-operative neighbours permit.  Nobody wants to do that twice.
    I agree this tactic is rarely necessary, but can be effective. The one time I had to resort to it, I blocked the offender in, leaving a note with my flat number, then went home and changed into a bathrobe. This meant that when they came knocking I could 'legitimately' and non-confrontationally make them wait a while, as obviously they couldn't expect me to move my car until I'd finished showering and got dressed. :smiley:
