Ha ha! My mate used to live down a road opposite a train station. Of course, people would park down there to avoid the car park charge. He used to go mad about people parking outside his house. No matter how many times I told it was a public road, he wouldn't listen.

They didn't bother putting any 'do not park here' notes on the commuter's cars, they simply put a screwdriver through a body panel, or slashed the tyres, or poured paint-stripper over it.
Lots of shouting about it on FB about how it was legal to park as it was a 'public road', but people quickly stopped parking there and even a decade on that particular street is empty of commuter cars.

Does someone who has had their car vandalised in that street return to park their car again, but instead of commuting into the office take a day off work and hang around all day on the hope that the vandal appears and they can stab them?
The person vandalising the commuter's cars could see them leaving them at 6.30am and then not returning to them until the evening, so had all day to do whatever they wanted whilst the owner was away.
