Would dogshit under the door handle be a criminal offence?

All of you suggesting some kind of damage to the car need to be a bit careful. After all the driver knows exactly where you live. It is far sneakier to find out where they live and take revenge there.

It's the deterrent effect you're after though.

Sign stating that "no responsibility will be accepted for any damage, however caused" on display.

Not worth the paper it's written on.

Dirty oil underneath the car. Doesn't need to be much, just enough to set them thinking.

If it is not causing a problem does it matter, I am sure if more people offered space they were not using to others in need the roads would be clearer.

There's a couple of websites offering an airbnb type scheme for driveways and parking thereon.

It's very common around Gatwick and Stansted.

Install an anti theft bollard at the end of your drive and tell them it won't be removed. Surely you won't have done anything wrong as it's your property

That is fine so long as the bollard was there beforehand.

Of course it was officer, it's just now in the 'up' position

As long as you don't break in, you don't need his permission. You just need to wait for the moment he leaves his door unlocked.
My drunk alcoholic neighbour walked into my house screaming abuse at me. I managed - without touching her - to get her to leave. I quickly locked my door and she stood on my drive ranting and raving for the next ten minutes. I phoned the police and was told she had not committed any offence as she hadn't damaged anything and it all took place on private property. I always lock my front door these days!

Leave it tidy as you go.

On your drive?

Great idea but sadly....if you do ANYTHING to thier car you will be liable for criminal damage.

Not quite the truth at all
