Be very careful. Same happened in the road where my M&D live. Some arse took it upon themselves to key down the sides of 7 cars, deep enough to go into the metal.
Plod would not even send anyone around, eventually came about 5 hours later and said as there was no CCTV, do car cam, nobody saw anything .. could do bugger all about it.

Winchesterblimey posh bullies.
Winchester has its dodgy bits.
But I'd be intrigued to know where this is - as it's just up the road from me.

I'd think I'd like a housing association property and to be able to afford a couple of nice cars.

Back in the Withdean days, there was a house at the top of Woodruff Avenue who tried this. They had nicked some cones from the council and tried putting them out so I used to move them so I could park my car. One day, I got back after a game to find that my wing mirror was broken. Now it might have been a coincidence but my mirror was folded in and the car facing the traffic and yet the mirror was bent out into the road and the glass perfectly smashed in the middle. The following week, the cones were back out but I was able to park a bit further away. However, as the cones were still there on my way back after the match, my mate and I picked them up and put them in my boot. Very childish but so what.
My disabled Mother in Law had a similar experience. One of her neighbours got the arse that her disability car didn't move, from outside her house very often and would make it difficult for her to leave in future.
She rang Sussex's finest who took it very seriously and had a chat with the neighbours and put one chap straight.
Never happened again.

I wouldn't count on it. With stretched resources the police may only act, when and if a crime is committed. i. e. when and if someone does actually block her in.
I did that once. My neighbours insisted on parking outside my house rather than theirs and their drive had space for 3 vehicles. One evening I came home to find two of their vehicles parked outside mine and their houses with nothing on their drive, so I parked on their drive.
Funnily enough, nothing was ever said, but they stopped parking outside my house.
Tell us the name of the street and let us make up our own minds huh?

The Missus has had this sort of note when she parks in the street of one of her customers, many of the residents have driveways, but park on the street to prevent non residents from doing so. No one has scratched the car or blocked her in, but they regularly fold the mirrors in and lift the wipers off the windscreen, which is quite a nice way of being a selfish ******** in my opinion.

My girlfriend gets this about once a month where she parks for work in Wilmslow. We ignore the letters and nothing has ever happened.

Happens quite often on a road I park on for work. Amusingly the majority of people there are happy for me to park there as I don't cover driveways or take the parking bays (still can't find anything that shows they are owned by the property's but it just doesn't feel right)
However there are a couple of my colleagues that have had a bit of abuse for parking legally. Boxes are put out in front of a couple of houses and they have taken the To Let sign from the other part of our office and used it to block off council owned land that could be used as a cut through. Some people are rather amusing aren't they? Why not buy a property with a driveway if they are that precious

Whereabouts? Christchurch Road area? That's where many of the Uni students park, and also where I park for town, or for visiting my dentist just round the corner.
Some people are just cocks. Ignore them

I live in Chandlers Ford, so when I say "just up the road", it's 5 miles away to the north.
Whereabouts, David? (nosey)

A friend of ours had trouble like this with her neighbour once. She parked her car on the road, outside his place, as there were other cars parked all the way along - & it was the only available spot. The neighbour came out the house moaning at her for parking where his wife usually put their car &, according to her, was quite abusive towards her and the children. The next morning she came out to find her front tyre slashed & flat as a pancake. Cant say it was definitely him, but seems a coincidence....especially as there has never been anything like that before - or since.
I had a run in with the old misery myself too when I parked my car in front of his. Before I had even got out the car properly, he had dashed out his house - & was standing there having a moan that his wife needed to get out in the morning & needed more space. Seriously, I had left about 4ft between my car & his - so I told him to send his wife to retake her test if she couldn't get out a gap that size, & stop being such a whiny old f*****. Then I just walked away. Never heard from him again.

Living in Mallorca in the 80's we would drive into Palma and double park if it was for 30 minutes or less, everyone did. But you would leave the handbreak just on so the car could be moved back and forth.
