I arrived home this evening to find some jackass in my assigned parking spot.

I’ve called the landlord. They kindly offered to post a warning on the car. It’ll go nicely with the rather more offensive one I’ve already placed on the windshield.

I informed the landlord that my truck was currently blocking asshat’s car into the spot, and that I wouldn’t be moving it until sometime tomorrow. The response: “Umm, okay. If you think that’s what you should do.” The ever-efficient police will be along in “3 or 4 hours” to give another ticket.

At this particular moment, I’m considering a slightly more vigilante justice. Perhaps I’ll take all 4 wheels off and toss them in a dumpster? The old sugar-in-the-gas-tank trick? Maybe a good old-fashioned dump on the hood?

I’ll consider all reasonable suggestions for the next several hours while I wait for the fuzz to show…

Update (4:45am): The car has Kansas plates — and the police tell me the owner has a habitual parking violation problem there, too. I hope they find enjoyment in red-tape, Canadian-style, when they pick up the card at the impound yard.
