I came out to my squareback tonight to find a note on it-
"Can you please not park here anymore, Thanks!'

Hah can't believe it, at the moment I'm living on a very busy residential road (used as a short cut) so have been parking in side streets whenever it looks too busy and think it's too much of a risk to loose my side mirror...I tend to stick to the same spot as it's on a nice section not near anyones driveway.. apparently this isn't good enough! LOL.

Now what to do.. heh park there as often as possible?

the people living in the house that you are parking in front of, must not like looking at your car 🙁

Hi

Only problem with sticking to your guns and keep parking there is they may let your tyres down or worse.

I worked with a guy who lived in inner Sydney where parking was hard to find, when neighbour kept parking outside his house he waited until the neighbour went on holidays then removed the plates and called the council about an abandoned car.

Just leave a note on your own windscreen, writing on the outside with just "WHY?"

lol lots of other cars parked around everywhere...I chose that particular spot because it doesn't restrict anyone's views/near anyones driveways and no one else appeared to be parked there so *shrugs* I have no idea why lol! I'd probably feel a lot more considerate to them if they signed it!

Guess they aren't fond of squarebacks!

Is this another case of writing something with no explanation Bond? Trying to make a point?

I have no idea what you are trying to say!

This reminds me of the trime when I worked for an insurance company in Melbourne and shared a house on St Georges Road, Toorak, which is about as posh an address as you can get anywhere in Melbourne.
I drove a 2 year old EH Holden and because of restricted parking on the property and in the street I had to park it in a nearby side street.
One morning a very well dressed man asked me not to park there. I explained the situation and promised to move it up and down the street a bit and not to park my "old ratteltrap" as he called it outside his house every time. I explained that it was a recent model, that it was in good condition, registered, roadworthy and legally parked. That was not good enough for him, so I told him that if he got it towed away as he treatened to do that I would have him charged with theft and interfering with the mechanism of a motorvehicle. He went away and nothing happenend about that again.

I'd suggest an explanatory note on the windscreen and to park it in a different place occasionally if you can. Don't make any threats, as I did, until you know who they are.

Geez, I thought I only had to put up with parking crap while my unit is part of a body corporate.

Same thing happened to me once. It happened that it was the son of an old couple and he had moved back with his parents and liked parking out front of their place.

I stopped parking there, but then he repeatedly parked out the front of my house, including once halfway across my driveway.

My theory is people who place notes on peoples windows asking people not to park in a certain area of a public street for no good reason, either have too much time on their hands or are just pricks.

Park in his driveway inside the boundary line. That will give him a reason to complain.
