How about removing the no parking signage and replacing it with a explosives hazard sign?
Of course any cars in the way can then be accidently torched?
This is personal advise or personal opinion.

Maybe some accidently spilt adhesive around tyres and road.
TBH i reckon writing on screen is cheeky but not exactly out of order.
Maybe a restricter pushed up inside exhaust would be a giggle. You will never know the outcome but will cause some suitable grief.
Superglue wipers to screen.

Ooooooh - you bitch!!!! nice idea. That ranks up there with the plastic bag in fuel tank trick.
Thinking about it - just glue up the fuel filler discretely. If a typical small car driver they may not try to fill up til last minute.......... just
think about the fuel station grief.
I teckon the best revenge is that which is so discreet the originator wont know where it has come from.

Thanks for the offer, but I am going to see if things cool off in the next couple of days. If things look like there is going to be a general problem
with parking in this cul-de-sac, then I may look elsewhere for a garage.
I am hoping that this little reminder might make people think that I am not going to take any sh*t

Chris, no car in there yet.
I'll wait this week to see how things go.
I can give a weeks notice to the council, so if this looks like too much hassle, they can have it.
I am not sure but I think this woman came home from the shops and just looked at me while the garage door was open and I was working on the door
defender. If she can't be bothered to acknowledge me and her car in the way, I am sure she is not the most amiable person.
I don't really care if she wants a problem or not.
All I will say is that I have a few things lined up if it turns bad.

I know a guy that stays next door to a church. First week after he moved in someone boxed his drive off at morning service. Bold as brass he walked in
and right up to the minister and gave chapter and verse along with the reg no and asked for it to be moved immediately. It was never a problem
again.
As the others have said I wouldn't go to far if your not in the vicinity. You could however let down all of the tyres and leave a note on the
window saying you "NOTICED" the tyres were flat when you "TRIED" to get your car out of the garage if you need a habd to
inflate them call me on ****** etc. as I'd be willing to help you reinflate them using the compressor in the garage that your blocking.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Once had a rep park blocking my drive, when asked if he would was told "you will have to wait" . Parked my VW camper 2 inches from his
front bumper and a 240 volvo 2 inches from his rear bumper . Went in and had dinner which took an hour , took the dog for a walk by which time he was
raving and threataning to call the police so dog had an extra long walk . Then went for shower and change before going out . On leaving told him next
time someone asked him to move it may save him 3hours waiting.

Not condoning the selfish cows actions at all, but clamping her would be illegal as you need to have a license to operate as a clamper.

Having been in a similar situation i can sympathise ........ but .........
you've no idea why she parked like that. She could have been rushing to see an elderly relative whos being taken to hospital in an ambulance.
How would you feel if that was you're car you came back too having just spent 24 hours in hospital and your mum dying?
Ok, bit extreme, but you don't know why she did it. Chances are she knows no one uses the garage and parks there cause its convienient but as a
first 'move' you should have been more polite. She hasn't broken any laws - you have.

Parking illegally on private property... ok the councils but its private none the less.
This is personal advise or personal opinion.

not sure it counts as illegal parking. I could leave my car in a neighbours drive and there isnt much (legally) he could do about it.

The dropped kerb law exists where someone blocks you in.
They can still block you in but they must be available to move the car if asked.
This woman was not available so technically was breaking the law.
The police though were not sure if it was a council road or not.
What is our council tax for?
The police only come out if you actually stab or kill someone!!!!!!!!!!

Also you need a legal sign in a clear and visible place, and put up Before the car is parked.
Writing on their car or anything else would be considered as "Tampering" which is an offence.
Trolley Jack is one of the best, no damage, and not hard to do.
I like the superglue in the tank cap. Delayed action and less traceable.
Trouble is you never know who is watching you these days.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.

Make sure you don't peen the end of the wheel lugs and then cut off the valve stem.
At my work place we had reserved parking spots which most everyone observed. Mine was against a fence front & side with my bosses spot next to
mine. Someone had a habit of parking in my spot and had been warned. One day the offender did it once too many times. My boss had me park in his
spot and he parked his ton crewcab truck on the offenders bumper. Oh did I mention that was the day my boss & I had to go for a week to a company
conference on the opposite coast. My spot was never violated again.

Classic, works best on chav cars with 4" tail pipes. Would need a nice long nozzle though.
Indellible pen will easily come off with thinners or even spray deoderant, so its not all that permanent really, not as if you took a spray can to the
car.
I would have sat and waited for them to come back and then had a few harsh words.

Would someone still park there if you had a sign saying "Nitram Funeral Services. Access required 24/7"? hehe. if they did, i think you
then close the door and wait for them to come back then start saying things like "its dark in here" and "help! i was only
asleep!"
Other 'companies' you might want to use "Nitram Car breakers" "Nitram Towing and Clampers". Any other ideas?

Update:
I went out for the day.
When I was out I realised that the marker I used was waterbased so easy to clean, so no real damage/bother.
I had a long notice stuck to my garage saying that all I had to do was ask (the signs are not enough?  ) and that I would recieve worse graffiti on
my garage and I would have to pay for it.
Kept the threat notice and I did not write anything in return.
If anything does happen, she has put her name in the frame with the notice.
They are even in nice plastic folders, so I am sure that there is a fingerprint or two on them.
Nice to know I spoilt her Sunday after spoiling my ability to move my car in last night.
The car is moved which is a result.

Its really annoying around our flats for parking as there would be plenty of space if people took the time and parked properly, instead at different
angles etc. There is a real need to have white lines denoting the spaces.
also irratating is the people who park there cars then go to work over the road in car show rooms etc. next time i catch someone doing it i plan to
park my ratty duct taped micra on their forecourt, pride of place and see if they like it.
