Man do a lot of you people have entitlement issues.
How would you feel if you were having a picnic in a public park and someone came by and knocked over your grill and told you in no uncertain terms that was THEIR picnic area and you have to get out ASAP.
I suspect you might not be swayed by that argument.
So how is it any different when someone threatens to vandalize cars that are legally parked out on the street?

That being said...if someone came by and knocked over my grill I might have to call the police.
So you are saying you wouldn't care if someone parked in front of your house for days at a time?

I talk a lot of rubbish on this site. It's the internet, I can hide behind the keyboard and act tough! :P

There are civilized ways to deal with this type of thing. We aren't barbarians.
I guess I am a little sensitive to this topic because I once had my church priest, of all people, visit my house for about an hour last winter... he parked next to a little path that one of my neighbours shoveled out through a snowbank. I don't think it was on purpose... the space was the only one open near my house. The neighbour left a note under his windshield telling him to go eff himself, among other things. The priest has a good sense of humour and we had a laugh about it, but I was secretly mortified. What kind of normal person does something like that?

At one time, this thread was focused on travel issues but its direction has veered well off that into an increasingly heated discourse of basic parking rights, self-help, and legal principles having nothing to do with travel. I would move to the OMNI forum but some of the participants in the recent discussion are not OMNI-qualified. Therefore, the thread is now closed. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.
