Break their window, slash a tire and they won’t park there again
So that you can become a target for your own car or home in retaliation? They know where you live once they see something done on their car...not smart.
This is one of my considerations when I choose to buy a house in Queens or Long Island. I won't have this problem in LI.
I do, I have two of them actually, put on both ends of the gate. People don't care. This was two times today I tried to leave my house and couldn't. Cars didn't move for hours. Cops didn't come until after the cars moved. And the guy who owns the minivan isn't always home so he's not able to move it all the time, which is why people need to respect the driveway space.
If you want the problem solved, park your car in front of your driveway. Or when someone parks there, double park next to them blocking their driver side door and just sit in your car pretending to be sleeping when they come back.
After looking at the photos, it seems its not blocking your driveway, you just need to move the minivan to get your car out.
This block and the following block is notorious for cars being sideswiped or having their mirrors knocked off and also, my mustang is pretty flashy. I've seen people sit on it taking pictures before and I don't trust it being out in the open like that, even if it's in front of the house. I have cameras in the driveway so I can monitor that perspective.
Also for NY violations, it's a violation to block or partially block a driveway, the curbed slope where the curb meets the road is also considered apart of the driveway. No one should be parking anywhere past that. In the city, if you park your car even a little bit past the pole that designates a no parking zone, you're getting a ticket.
Why not write a little note, and leave it on their windshield?
I've done that. And for a few people it has worked, I haven't seen them park there again. But as I said, some others, they don't really care. And it sucks because instead of it taking 15-45 mins for a cop to show up, it takes them hours. And the sad part is I live exactly 4 long blocks away from the precinct. 5 min drive or less.
Have the same problem. People keep sticking the nose of their vehicles on my driveway. I've already tried leaving notes and putting up a sign with no luck. Had to resort to calling 311 a couple of times but the cops don't come until hours later if at all. Spoke to a couple of my neighbors about it but they keep doing it. It is a real nuisance when people don't respect your driveway space.
I remember a jobsite years ago. If anybody parked in the supers spot they would come out to one mean
12 inch by 12 inch sticker on their quarter panel glass saying no parking which could only be removed
with a bucket of hot water, a razor and a good half hour of scrubbing. Wish I knew where you could get
those stickers......

Sometimes when people leave postcards advertising things on windshields, and it rains and then the postcard subsequently dries, the same sort of thing happens that makes it really hard to take the paper stuff off the windshield.
I think something paper that turns into a sticky mess would be the best solution. They can't get you for vandalism, because it's not, but it's certainly really annoying.
