Question Hard to remove "Sticky Labels": Where??

Someone has started parking in my numbered space in my flat's private car park.
I have left a note to "request" that he/she does not continue to do this .
However, if this is ignored I would intend applying a similar note- but on difficult to remove sticky paper or vinyl to his windscreen.
Any ideas of what to get/where?

Stick the note to a baseball bat and introduce the note to the offenders face to read.

I trust you are kidding. I had a former employer who did this to shoppers who used the company carpark. He used spray mount to put a sheet of A4 over the drivers direct line of sight. One woman who owned an illegally parked car failed to scrape it off fully before driving off. She had an accident about 500 yards from the car park, and successfully sued our company.

Park your car behind them so they cannot get out, leave a note with a number for them to call you. When they do go and have a word with them, if they are huge and look fierce run ;-)

Sprinkle some tacks on the floor when they leave, ready for the next morning.
Just don't go parking there yourself.

A house with your own driveway? All estate agents have them.

Not wise to do anything destructive of course, you may get it back in spades!

I would get a sticky note to put on the driver's side window. irritating to remove and you can't really get into trouble for that.

Buy a £100 shed and park in front of their car indefinitely

Not much you can do really without clearly displayed parking restrictions

Anyhow, went out after I had finished my lunch and there were two very unhappy campers in the car, with 'her' looking daggers at the guy driving. Guess he'd *insisted* it'd be as good idea to save money by parking in my space rather than the car park. How I chortled ....
