What details / particulars would determine your actions?
The last thing I would want to do in this instance is to create a situation which could affect you professionally. This is your place or employment, so I wouldn't want to create waves in the wrong direction that could jeopardize your job.

I never use to spots personally. Like others who have suggested, I always park in the back and against, close as possible to an island. But.....I never would ever have a problem with anyone else parking double, just as long as it’s in the back of a lot with plenty of spaces left. I think that if someone does have a problem with it, there are other issues aside from using an extra spot. Again, in the back, plenty of spaces? not a problem sir.

The argument of "What if everyone did this?" Please.....3/4 of the population park as close as possible to the door, so as not to have to haul their asses another 5-10 steps more than necessary in 95deg heat.

Again, plenty of spaces left and in the back....park as you please. Shouldn't concern or be anybody else’s business. Maybe a lot attendant or business owner. But nobody else’s.

The individual who left the note on your car obviously has issues aside from how you want to park your car. They left this note to threaten you, not to "enlighten" you on parking etiquette. You are happy about your new MB, and want to take care of it (I applaud you). And that burns this other fool up. It’s not about the parking space, it’s actually about his need to have you alter your behavior for his own satisfaction. I say don't give it to him.

Does your parking lot have surveillance cameras? If so, I suggested checking to see if they cover the area where you park and inquire with the grounds security to see they are working. Maybe you should mention this incident to them. IF there are no cameras, then you might have to think about this a little. You must have proof in case this creep decides to vandalize your car.

And I like the idea of leaving a return note. But I would be a little less polite.

Think of it this way. How would you have reacted if you came to your car to find someone in the act of leaving a note like that? I would not have been too happy.
