One guy used to get up at 2 am to move his car to a 'better' position when the neighbour left for his shift and vacated a more satisfactory spot.
That's a bit sad!! 
not ideal..some strange folk about..Maybe narrow it down to properties that take the Daily Mail?!..
if it was me I would park my car in the same spot again and sit up and observe for an evening..maybe take it in turns with a mate for an hour or so when you both have nothing on..and just see who goes near, looks at it or worse..maybe not actionable but at least if you let them know you know they may desist in future..
lowest of the low interfering with another mans motor..

He lives in a little cottage in the pennines. Bloke in the house next door is a proper whinging busybody - arguments have got a bit out of hand in the past and have involved the police being called.
There's a field behind the houses which is where the living rooms look out onto, these are owned by another mutual friend who keeps sheep on them. All in all it's a lovely view out towards Saddleworth moor. Except it isn't for my mates neighbour, as there is a big f
k off steel container unit in the way, strategically placed in the field right outside his patio windows. It's luminous, day-glo orange. Blokey can complain all he wants, as said box can remain there for a certain number of months before needing to be moved. Unfortunately it doesn't say how far it has to move. Consequently it hasn't moved very far at all. I'd forgotten all about it til I walked past the other day. Perhaps a bit harsh.....

Where are the supporting guidelines for how I walk along the pavement? There must be guidelines otherwise we would all be doing this:
I believe this will give you some pointers:-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w
Park your car in the same space as it was damaged then knock on people's doors and ask if it is THEIR car, as soon as you find the person who is particularly annoyed an may even confess that your car has been winding them up then you can...... deal with them like an adult/report them to the police/burn them at the stake.

That's a good idea but I'm not sure why you would need to be naked. Each to their own I guess...your car has already gained some scratchs. It's not shiny any more.
Id keep parking there and let it gain some more.
Only have a few cctv cameras wired up inside it, subtly.
Gain video of the 'perp' in the act. Then,
a) copy and distribute this widely around the estate.
b) take them to small claims for a respray
c) whilst they are at court get a mate to stick spagetti into their locks.
and most importantly
d) keep parking there. Its now your space!

Perhaps a bit harsh..... class My next door neighbour called 999 about a car left outside her house for two days. It belonged to family of the house opposite, who were staying around while the mum was in hospital having an operation on her leg.
She actually called an emergency number to complain about a car parked completely legally, and she doesn't even drive! She was incensed that the Police refused to do anything about it, and has vowed to write to our MP.
She told me all this while I was writing a note to put on a car that had been parked directly across my driveway for three or four days. Luckily I commute by bike, but I needed to get the car out to go to the shops. She saw me put the note on the car, and advised me to "let his tyres down" as well. How that is supposed to help the owner move the car I don't know.

...She then told me I shouldn't put my bin outside my house on bin morning as that was "her" parking space. Her father then told me he would have me in court for criminal damage.
People are very odd about parking - like most PHers, I couldn't give a stuff who parks outside my house, so long as I can get on and off the drive.
I've had arguments with one of Woman's neighbours, where his argument for me not parking opposite his gates was that "if my wife reverses out and hits your car, it's better that she would hit mine". My reply of "if she reverses into two tons of silver Vauxhall, she probably should look where she's reversing" didn't go down too well.
Definitely let the police know.
We had a car keyed from front to back and let the police know. They didn't do anything apart from give us a crime number but they did ask if we'd had a falling out with anyone (we hadn't) wheras your stuation might be different.
defo worth letting them know, in case anything further happens.
