    Call a tow truck company and get the spotter’s fee reward.

        Usually. They’re slapping a heavy tow fee on. They appreciate people finding the money for them. You’re literally calling them to say, “Hey, wanna make $150 in 10 mins?” So a spotter’s fee in cash under the table is often 30% or so.

    Call police, since our wheelchair cannot pass. They will have it towed gladly with a lot of pleasure. (The Netherlands hates these asahats)

      This is poland where the police will come in 3 hours after the car is gone and if it’s still here they will send a letter to the cars owner who can just say someone else was driving.

        Does it matter who’s driving? It’s your car tank. Registered to your name. If you give the keys to someone else, you’re still responsible… unless you report it stolen. Is that really not a thing in Poland???

          No because there is no requirement to point out who was driving specifically. It’s a legal loophole.

    The icing on the cake is having the hitch ball mounted when they’ve probably never towed anything in their life. Make problems, and destroy some people’s knees at the same time.

      Oof yeah, I didn’t even notice that. I woulda totally wacked my shins on it. It would leave a bruise for weeks, and probably ruin my pants with grease too.

      Fuck this asshole. I’d put nails in front of his back tires so when he drives away he gets two flats. Stupid games, stupid prizes.

    Have my wife wheel me over to where the license plate # is in view and post that bad boy to social media with a sympathetic title like “we had to take a huge detour because we couldn’t get my wheelchair around this truck”, grab some popcorn and watch as people form a digital witch hunt. Then call the police to have it towed.

      I was going to say, having a wheelchair on hand would make a great way to scrape the hell out of the rear of the car with plausible deniability.

      Your idea is probably better.

    Lots of smack talk in here from the other side of the screen. Best malicious compliance is probably just call and report them for parking improperly. Or just walk across their car.

      I would report, and nothing would be done

    I had neighbours around me that did this shit regularly

    I would drag a coin, walk over the bonnet with bouncy steps, break wing mirrors and the like

    I had a spouse who required a wheelchair for a while, so I took it very personally
