Without actual proof what are you going to do. It could be any local pissed off resident. Maybe not the homeowner the car is directly outside. 
But then, I would never be parking there anyway.
But, I guess that is what happens when out of town council-type peeps park outside a local council-types house.

No one appears to do mental children's names like our antipodean friends (its old news but still excellent):

My Ozzie mate has Brooklyn, Tex and Aspen and another that escapes me, I think they work well.https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/jul/...
The judge said:
In his written ruling, he said names such as Stallion, Yeah Detroit, Fish and Chips, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit were prohibited by registration officials. Others that were permitted included twins called Benson and Hedges, other children called Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and, the judge added, "tragically, Violence". Another mother tried to use text language for her child's name, he said.

One of my Aussie friends called her son "Hudson". When I was growing up, that was a surname. A British friend called her firstborn "Fletcher". That was also a surname when I was a kid. Tell me, why do people think it's cool to give their child a surname as their first name?
Futnoat: If you can't ID the first one without a reverse image search, ask yourself this, "Should I be on a car forum?"

Storm is barely acceptable , add a Y for total Council acceptance .
At a recent tournament with my daughter one family entered three of their children, Sky, Summer and Storm - I didn't have an issue with any of these to be fair (and was a little envious that I'm not called Storm because it really sets your stall out from the off) but it did have me wondering what a 4th child me be called. Sleet? Spring? Shower? Snow? thetapeworm said:

With those 3 names preceeding it, the 4th child should be called 'Service Not Available' shouldn't it? I absolutely love shouting to my children, in crowded places
Chardonnay
Mercedes
Cleopatra
Shaniqua
Aleeschia
And so on
You try it and see how your wife reacts and the faces she can pull.
My other game is again, rather loudly, in a queue
“ has our social been paid in yet ?”
The irony being: people actually refer to pay day or being paid when receiving their dole.
As if they have worked for it etc.

Be funnier if the 4th was called Keith or Dave or similar. thetapeworm said:

Names like this used to be kids of hippy, new age traveller types. Are they now Council?Having a rave, with a DJ at a funeral in the cemetery = Council and utterly disrespectful.

A fairly long time ago, there was a relatively famous chap called Fletcher Christian...

I must admit I never understood the idea of a homeowner making vandalism threats against a legal parker... "sure you may vandalise my car, but I know exactly where you live!"I parked outside an extended bungalow once to go cycling. I had everything ready to set off when a bloke came out and said 'you can't park there'. Oh why? I'm expecting a shopping delivery soon. OK the kerb was at least 5 times the length of my car. I said erm they could park behind me? No that's blocking my neighbours driveway access.
I then bit and said yes but he doesn't have a drop kerb so it's not legal.
He said something else but I just cycled off.
Why work hard all your life, have a large (bungalow) and obviously just sit there looking out the front window waiting in your retirement? Get out, travel, go to the Lakes FFS!
