    If the wheels are good, remove them and sell 'em on ebay. When the owner returns, tell him about the terrible crime rate in that area. That should put him off ever returning, and you make a few bob too.

    The bugger and his mate just turned up and removed the car. I had a go at them. A couple of swarthy looking Slavs. They apologised, not that they meant it. Barely understood English.

    Just as well I hadn't been wanting to get the bike out of the garage. Which I will be doing soon for its MOT.

    Forgot to mention, I have a notice that I can print out on the computer, two of these fit on an piece of A4. If I get an inconsiderate parker I can stick one of these to the windscreen or door glass with Prittstick, this may cause the driver some inconvenience to remove!

    I had a pack of very sticky self-adhesive ones printed. Knowing how things are these days, you'd probably get done for criminal damage now.

    This is why I used Prittstick, it will come off with water.

    Funny thing about a week ago, a Police car blocked me in and I wanted to get my car out. I waited about half an hour, could not see anyone, waked up and down the road looking for the driver. I decided to leave a Polite notice under the wiper (no Prittstick). Eventually, the Police came back to their car, I must say, they were apologetic.

    You should have slashed their tyres and put a brick through the windscreen!
