The options are: 1) Do nothing. 2) Do something. 2a) do something that is potentially confrontational 2b) do something that isn't confrontational.
I really like the red paint story above. I also like the black mold pressure wash overspray above. I had a professor at UO that said something about "benevolent sabotage." Except it wasn't benevolent. The example was putting an open face peanut butter and jelly sandwich into a bed when the parent makes a bed for a child after asking repeatedly. In other words, some sort of consequence.
So the answer I would look for is to change the scenario so that parking their car in front of your home is less pleasant. I don't know how to do this without making YOUR home less pleasant. Things like nasty grease on road, roofing nails, and similar nuisances will also serve to annoy you.
I guess as a last resort, there is the Tanya Harding pivot. Meaning, I grew up on the East Side of Portland. It isn't always pretty or upper class. Tanya is from my 'hood more or less. I used to have people I knew that could break a kneecap or similar unsavory type activity. Not anymore. But perhaps you do? Slide them $100 and tell them how much you don't like a certain car in your neighborhood?
Keep us posted. This is a tough one.
