REVENGE! - She Stole My Owned Parking Spot (SILLY FUN Instead of Having Her TOWED)

UPDATE: 2 weeks after this she saw me getting into my car and came over to apologize and thank me for not having her towed. Apparently it happened to her recently when she parked in another spot. I guess she was thankful for saving time and money by not having to go get her car from an impound lot. Everyone wins! :)

***** THE STORY *****
I came home from work at 3am to discover someone had stolen my parking spot! (This is an owned and reserved/assigned spot). Each spot in the garage is assigned to a resident, so I could not just go park in another spot.
I decided not to have them towed, instead opting for placing 20 reminder notes on their car, just to be sure she saw it. I set up a hidden camera in our other car before I went to sleep, because I really wanted to see who this was.
This was fun to make. I could have had them towed, but decided to let it slide this time. Luckily she didn't ALSO come into my house! :D

(BTS: Behind the Scenes Production Secret!)
The real tricky part was that I didn't have much footage of me putting the notes on the car, so the next night I had to do some re-takes even though she was back in her spot. (I took them off myself the second time!) That's how video production goes, sometimes you have to do retakes. Congrats to the very few who spotted this! Great eyes! :D
This happened just outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada in Oakville. We have assigned parking in our condo's garage and this person decided to park in my spot.
I have been watching a lot of Casey Neistat and Peter McKinnon so used elements of their VLOG style to make this video.

UPDATE: The lady saw me get into my car this morning and came over to apologize and thank me for not towing her. She said THAT it has happened to her before. Amazing!

when someone parked his black chevy on my parking space outside i made french fryes and invited all the doves of the citty on his car, thank god these flying rats shitt like there is no tomorrow and the roof, the windshield and the back view mirrors were full of bird poop. It was a sight to behold

[@peggyhill.3798]

This is all the way frustrating! I just moved into my dream apartment and you get one free space and you have to pay for a second. I pay for a second one for my bpyfrind and the family that lives in my block got their son a new car and they instructed him to just park in my boyfriends. It went like this for a week and I waited 2 hours for them to come down. I confronted them and told them it was a violation of the lease agreement and they got pissed! They said they lived here longer and make more money so they deserve it. Wtf. I worked my ass off to be able to live here. I make just as much as them. I took it up.qith the owner of the building and they had to pay a fine of 1000 dollars and I got half of it. I hate inconsiderate people. And to top it off the security cameras caught their spoiled son keying my 1967 impala. I pressed charged and had him arrested and the whole family moved. Assholes.

we lived in Santa Barbara, CA, so parking spots are not a separate property we have to purchase, it comes with the purchase of the condo. My husband, kids and I arrived home from hospital with our newborn to find a car parked in our condo designated spot. My husband wanted to go knock on the units close to ours to locate the owner of the car. I said, no! I need you to help me with getting the kids and all the stuff (carriers, diaper bags and luggage) all that comes with having a newborn a toddler and a school age child settled first. I Did not want to deal with finding the owner of car that was rude enough to take someone's parking space. So, we parked behind them. Figured when they were ready to leave they would come find us. Yup, they did, at 11 PM and not even ashamed of having parked in my spot. He Was just miffed that he had to come and find us to get out. Turns out it was the next door neighbour's brother that was visiting. You might say, he made a mistake, he thought it was her spot. Wrong, he is also the owner of the condo she was living in. So he damn well knew it was not her spot!

Years ago, after an all night snow storm, I shoveled my spot (each apartment had an assigned spot) out before I left for work. when I returned from work a neighbor was parked in my shoveled out spot. I knocked on his door to ask why and he said because it was shoveled. I asked him not to do that again ... he slammed the door in my face. Two days later the same neighbor did the same thing to me. I buried his car with snow. When I came home from work he was pounding at my door cussing me out. A month later .. the same thing. Since the owners of the complex didn't want to get involved, I gave my 30 day notice. The day I moved, I chained his rear axle to the guard rail behind his car.

Lol I remember years ago I had parked in my spot and when I came out to go to work there was a car parked in front of me in the drive way so I was not able to get out, because I had a Suzuki softtop 4WD I was able to get a couple of friends over with rolling jacks and jacked my car up and out of the way into the empty parking bay next to me yep empty 😹😹😹 once we got my little 4WD free I then wrote on all the windows with red lipstick (very expensive mind you) asking him to next time to leave me the can opener so I could get out easier as he was parked in front of my car across the parking bay 😳😤😵

[@brianwarner6793]

Check it out people... This guy wasn't trying to destroy but rather prove a point... he pays for that spot.

[@johnscully1924]

I did something similar when someone kept parking in my space at work, except that I went to Staples, purchased some full sheet "extreme adhesive" labels and printed my note on about ten of them, then stuck them all over his windows after using alcohol to clean the glass. Probably took him hours to get them off.

[@douglasrodrigues9329]

A couple parked in my step-daughter's assigned numbered spot a few times. Their reason was that they had a longer distance to walk to their apartment ( only about 50 more feet). After the third request my daughter had their car towed...twice! After the second tow they finally got the idea that walking 50 feet was cheaper than paying for a tow bill.

[@stanhammond8414]

You sir are a saint, I would have had her towed or worse. You are a patient man, and that's awesome that the lady thanked you for not having her towed. Can't believe some people in the comments think YOU'RE the bad one lol You are the hero of this story. That lady is not intelligent... She was very lucky it was your spot she parked in.

[@shyone968]

A very creative way to solve a sticky situation. She had already been towed from another space. She knew the spots were assigned and paid for. A few notes to remind her to be considerate of other condo owners is nothing. She needs to use her spot. Well played sir, well played.

[@emilycaravan8768]

People who think it is no big deal to park in someone else's RESERVED parking spot are people who think the rules don't apply to them. They are also people who think they are entitled to things they don't deserve. I PAY for my parking spot, it clearly says RESERVED. If it isn't reserved for YOU then don't park there. Also, tell your friends and family NOT to park in someone else's spot. Why should I park somewhere else when I PAY for my spot, it is actually in my property deed!

[@KatyBauer1]

I'm glad she was gracious about it and didn't try to harass you for calling her out.

[@tobyturcott]

Jeff - I've worked in the parking industry for 13 years. This kind of behavior is an ongoing problem. People see a spot, they need a spot, so they take the spot. They don't look at signs, they are wrapped up in their own little world and don't for a second consider that the big red, blue or whatever sign that is clearly posted has any bearing on their immediate needs.

[@Dem0nD0ll]

I think what you did with the signs is much funnier than having her towed, and hey, she literally “got the message”! It’s great that she apologized to you.

[@l8dykickass418]

Once I came home around 12 am from a long trip. Well some dude parked in my reserved parking spot! I was so pissed Bc it’s hard to find parking spots at my apt complex. I didn’t have his/her car towed bc I didn’t have the towing number. Well the next day same thing happened, the same person parked in my spot. Well I got some sticky print papers and wrote “next time I’ll have you towed”. Put it on his driver and passenger window. He ended up complaining to the leasing manager that I ruined his windows, they said they couldn’t do anything. Needless to say he never parked in my spot ever again. XD

[@muskokamike127]

To all those saying take harsher action: initially I was the same but when I found out it was a "neighbour" and innocent mistake, I think the labels with tape was sufficient. But if this happened to her before, don't you think you'd pay more attention every time?

[@paulgeyer1067]

Good that she apologized. Perhaps just a dumb airhead mistake. You did good...far better for her than a tow or (heaven forbid) a mysteriously flattened tire.

[@davevaness4172]

I had a guy that had the space next to me and he would park over the line of into my space. He said He had a bigger car and I didn't need all me space. I got white baby shoe polish and painted the line he was parked on the length of hos car. He called the police and they told him to not park like an idiot.
