Some idiot deflated my tyre!

Well, going back in the evening and sticking the same notice on all the nearby cars would be one option.
Assuming this is a public road you're parking on, I wouldn't let people get away with nimbyism like that.
Next thing you know they'll think the space outside their house is "theirs".

It sounds like you had a few warnings, but continued to park on someone else's land for your own convenience?
I think I would find somewhere else to park if I were you.....
ETA.. You presumably do see the irony in you reporting this to the police? You admit to repeatedly parking on private land that isn't yours, and then cry foul when someone sellotapes a note to your window!

If it was your private road OP, would you get the hump with people parking there without permission?
I'd understand your point totally if it was a public highway, but being as it's someone else's land they've every right to be upset, although their means of displaying their frustration is questionable.

OP, Where is this? I know plenty of people who have at least one or more spare parking places on their private land.
Provided you left plenty of spare room for their own vehicles, I'm sure they'd be fine with you just parking there without asking them. As you point out it's not illegal, so where's the harm anyway?
You might have to walk for a while, cycle (one of those folding bikes maybe) or get a bus though as I doubt it will be within a really short distance of your place of learning.

Few points:
-There is very few parking spaces around, college provides zero due to an agreement with the bus company
-Parking on private land is not illegal, we aren't in the way and leave over half the road free for cars to park
-There's no need to damage someone's car just because they parked somewhere where you can get by easily, but take offence that it's near your house (all residents have their own numbered bays)

Whilst I disagree with them letting your tyre down, you need to stop being a
and park on public land. You have no right to park on someone else's property so stop doing it.Also the college is stupid for thinking that people won't drive there. I wish we could move past the 'if we don't make a provision for it, they won't drive' mentality.
I commute to work and have a parking space. I use about a tanks' worth of fuel a month, around £70, on my commuting. I looked at getting the train and it's £96 a month with a monthly ticket. On top of that I still have to pay insurance and tax for a car that's now sat doing nothing.
Complete no-brainer; I keep driving.

It's not strictly illegal, but you are trespassing by parking on a private road. also lack of spaces provided by the college is not justification for trespassing. Would you let someone park on your drive because they didn't have anywhere to park near their college?-There is very few parking spaces around, college provides zero due to an agreement with the bus company
