I think that doesn't work over here. The parking areas belong to the super markets and are private property. The only thing I could do would be to inform the staff.:hmm:

ok, say that you send this pic to local authorities. Now here is what may happen:

He will hire a lawyer who will say, "My client was unaware of the fact that parking on this space is illegal as there was no such sign/warning board near that place".

Just like we need to warn theives that camera is watching them :D

Best ring in and say you are witnessing an actual attempted theft of a vehicle.....the response would/should be quick and on arrival the officers will sum up the situation themselves and blister (fixed penalty ticket) the windscreen automatically ;)

I most seriously beg to differ, you should try parking in London Borough of Camden, they'd fine you for stepping on the cracks in the pavement.

Lawyers cost a lot of money. That to me would be as good as a fine.

That's what I did. My wife's disabled so I help her and we park in a spot like that. I parked my car in front of the woman's minivan who didn't have the sign and called the cops. They sent a tow truck. The expression on the womans face was priceless when they took the van away. hehehe.

Good for you mate!

Take pictures next time and post them here so we can all share the joy of seeing an ass get what they deserve.

Ya it was a kodak moment but I rarely carry my digital camera in my car. You don't plan these things they just happen. ;)

My grandmother needs a wheelchair due to car accident, and driving her around is somewhat depressing, not because of her, she's the funniest person in my family. Its because the handicapped parking spots nearest to the Community Center are filled up with idiot soccer moms who don't seem to understand that they are doing something wrong.:nope:

when I worked at the local supermarket I used to take great delight going up to non-disabled people parking in disabled spots and pointing out they shouldn't be there, or the best one is the tannoy. You couldn't say the make or model of teh car but only read out the registration number. "Could the owner of car SY02 RUH, please come to the customer service desk, you're parked in a disabled space."

Going slightly off topic, once doing trolley duty I spotted two kids about 5 and 7 years old left in a car (no big deal) WITH the engine running....So I opened the door, shut off the engine and took the keys and got a tannoy made. The dad came up and was really pissed off...." I can't believe some people.

What is most annoying is when you get soccer mums who park in the disabled area when there is bloody child and parent parking spaces, usually closer to the door than the disabled spaces.

Wouldn't it be great if you could do this to the ignorant feckas for real :D
