How about making up a fake parking ticket (really good replica) that has your address as the place to send the money?

I just took this today. I thought the point of double parking is to do it before another car is in the spot next to you...

Those new battery powered SawZ-Alls are great things to carry in your trunk.

After plodding to the end of this stupid thread it occurs to me MAYBE some inconsiderate biker who should be parking in the assigned motorcycle spots elsewhere in the lot was there before you. The car driver pulled in to the remaining 1/2 spot and was then over the line.
I think you should lay in wait and confront him/her to confirm and have it out if I'm wrong. Then you can shoot them for poor parking if they are guilty.

Why would you think that when I've posted subsequent photos of his doing the same? I've also seen him do it again since my last post on him. I don't bother taking photos of it anymore. Before midday bikes usually do park in the special motorcycle space. But because of the position of the sun after about 3pm, those spots farther out, but then in the shade, become prime real estate. I don't expect you to understand if you haven't lived in the desert in summertime, but it's stupid hot in direct sunlight in the summer here. Your comment about shooting someone is beyond stupid.

Hey, it's no skin off my nose. I ride the bike 90% of the time and I can park it anywhere, regardless of how mullet man parks his cage. He ain't taking my parking space from me. I kind of prefer to leave him be so he can continue to piss off other cagers who are more likely to leave him nasty notes or even key his car. I dare say, when I drive the 993, I have the nicest car there and I'd never think of taking two spots, even if the place were empty on a cloudy day.

I'm gonna try to get a photo of mullet man at the gym, but that'll be tricky. Picture this. He wears cargo-like pants that look like football pants with the pads removed, always a football jersey, lots of tats on the arms, very good shape and short hair with just a few inches of mullet in very thin strands. I don't think I've ever seen another like it. He has to be at least 40. He looks pretty tough too. I think most people see him coming and figure he's a real gym rat and then they see that mullet in back and just laugh. To see a 40 yr. old think he has a hot car that most teenagers wouldn't be real proud of is kind of weird.

do you have a track cam you could conceal and then go up and talk to him?

I can use my iPhone for tunes instead of my iPod sometime and I still have the iPhone 3, so no flash with the camera. I might be able to sneak one. It will be worth the wait, I assure you.

I don't see the point. I think this thread was started simply to point out that this guy was an idiot, not to to say that the OP wanted to be the parking police.

If someone parks like an idiot so be it. If a person is that ignorant, what possible positive outcome would come from confronting him?

weeby is the one who came up with that bright idea.

1990C4S, yours was a rhetorical question, right? I mean, really... are you not familiar with the doofusness of the weeby?

Rick, if you get a pic of the mulletized d-bag, send it to me privately and I'll use it to make a demotivational poster... that's the way it should debut here. I'm already getting ideas.

Sample demotivational poster:
