All,
I want to get your input on this situation. First let me give you some background. The street I live on meets up to a townhouse development with no outlet. That means that everyone going into the townhouse development can only get in/out by coming past my house. I am the last single family home so my neighbor on my right is a single family home, then my neighbor on the left (though further away) is a townhouse.
The guy in the townhouse never has been really friendly, in fact I think he is jealous because my wife and I are fairly young with careers and are so far successful and can afford to have the things we work very hard for. They on the other hand appear to be blue collar workers. He has a townhouse full of people...it's him, his wife, his brother, and his son. I have counted a total of 5 cars that they have. They have two trucks, a Toyota his wife drives, an old full size ford, and a small sub-compact.
So here is the story. It all started when they left the car in front of my house for six straight days over a holiday weekend. When I had company over I spoke about my displeasure over it loudly on my deck so that they could hear me. Finally the car moved, but then they started parking blocking my mailbox. I called in a parking complaint because they were parked the wrong direction (against the flow of traffic). They received a warning and the very next day parked there again, I phone in another parking complaint and this time they were cited. They still parked in the same place the next day after the ticket, and I just let it go. Now, to avoid having to move my wife's car when I take my car out of the garage, I have began parking it on the side of the house which is the side that faces them, I also set the alarm off and let it go for a while too after they parked their car here yet again yesterday but this time facing the correct direction and not blocking my mailbox.
Anyone have any opinions on what I can do to keep them from parking there? Please, I don't want to do anything criminal like vandalize their car or anything like that, but the polite note and the tickets obviously didn't make them get the point. I just don't understand because if we park within the townhouse development, we will get towed away, but they can come out and harass us and we can't do anything about it.
