If I really had a problem with this guy... I would park as close to him as possible, making sure to run over the little cones. Or just neatly stack them on his hood/roof with a little post it that said: "nice try" hahaha

An even better idea is to quickly grab the cones, crush them flat and then put them back around the car.
Next this idiot will be put velvet ropes around his "precious".

Interesting. Rading the responses here really indicates how far society has come, in that you advocate destruction of someone elses property precicely because they want to protect it. It doesn't matter what it is, the fact that most people don't take any care of other people's property and damage it, and the rest advocate damaging it if they try to protect it from those mindless morons really is amazing.

I parked my 7 series (which is worth far less than that Tbird) in the regular lot, with everybody else. After 4 weeks, there were 5 door dings, two of which had chipped the paint. Even though the car isn't worth much, those door dings devalue the car even more, and will cause a failry high out of pocket cost to repair if I ever wanted to sell the car as being in nice shape, or if I ever actually just want to have a nice car. My car isn't worth as much as your cars, probably, but it's valuable to me.

So I parked at the far outside edge of the farthest lot from the door, and took up two spaces, out where no one normally parks. Came back to it and there was a note basically expressing similar sentiments as have been indicated here, that doing so was inviting damage.

It's a sad state when people think it's more important to damage other people's property than respect it.

I don't see anyone parked around this car, so he's not blocking anyone from getting a prime spot. If you actually would block him in, attempt to damage the car or otherwise simply because he's trying to protect his property (property that you obviously don't value) then you're more of a douche than he ever could be. Why is that a valuable goal for you?

A very classy collectors car with Jaguar running gear is driven to work by a disabled Veteran and everybody wants to mess with him or key his car. What is wrong with people today? JMHO

If he's physically disabled he would be parking in a legit handicap spot right near the door and with plenty of room. Since the disability appears to be mental, it's another story.

Ha. I did that ShIt in Al Asad Iraq. These same guys kept parking right in front of an opening that you were supposed to walk through to get to chow. Cones were put there so NOONE would park there. BUt these tools did it every day. So finally I put the cones on top of their hood. Then I ran like hell because I knew they were Navy Seals who were parking there.

"If he's physically disabled he would be parking in a legit handicap spot right near the door and with plenty of room. Since the disability appears to be mental, it's another story."

He might be kinda sorta mentally not there iin one way or another if he was from vVetnam or hell...anywhere now a days. So he would be considered disabled.

Are you saying Ford would be better off? I've never noticed the T bird being popular with any group. Actually, I've seen maybe 2 on the rode in Houston in 5 years. Both looked like they were driven by cougar housewives from Sugarland.
