@TheWarOnCars Sometimes I feel like people are just being assholes because they can, it kind of drives me crazy because I don't really know what to do...

Just roll them over on their backs. That way they are helpless. Sort of like turtles.

@paulmckrcu @TheWarOnCars ya, I guess I could put some big wheels on the jack and just drag it around everywhere I go...

@TheWarOnCars and now that whole side of the street has started parking on the sidewalk. I guess the figure if one guy can get away with it, then just go for it?

@TheWarOnCars so I guess we have a partial success: the first guy seems to have had his mirror smashed off, so he (and his neighbor) have stopped parking on the sidewalk. Unfortunately the guy a bit down the street didn't get the message, and one of his neighbors has also started parking on the sidewalk.

@TheWarOnCars so that seems to be the way to go around here: after calling the police to report the cars for at least the third time last night, the lady on the phone asked if there was anything else. So rather than just saying "no" like the last times, I said "hey, I don't mind just smashing the cars up for you -- no reason to make you guys drive all the way down here, it's pretty easy to just knock some mirrors off". She seemed pretty shocked, but I guess that was enough to get them to come down and ticket these guys!

@vathpela @TheWarOnCars maybe less progress than I thought -- there were 7 illegally parked cars today, and when I called the police the guy said he didn't even want descriptions because he was sure they'd be gone by the time the police got there.
