Is that a thing?
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.
Well, shit, I'm going to have to remember that trick. I really don't like people parking like assholes.
Take a picture of it and post it on social media for likes.
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.

Deflate the tires and use the truck bed as a trash can and/or porta potty.
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.
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.
Roll my eyes and shake my head. Probably make a snarky comment to my companion if I was with someone.
Fantasize about violence. Probably no real action other than banging into it when walking on the sidewalk.
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 hate these fuckers. This happens a lot in my home town. I was young i just cursed the fuckers and kept going. Nowadays i would deflate the tire.
use the tyre as a step to step up onto the bed cover, step across it, and jump down the other side.
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
Call the city line and report illegal parking. They will at least get a nice ticket, and if you're lucky, they'll get towed :)
No they won't, parking enforcement sucks in poland where this picture was taken.
Pedestrians have to resort to other means such as these "karny kutas" (punitive dick) stickers:

Annoyingly, in the jurisdiction I live, the driver will get your address if you report it
Collect the valve stems like they were chanterelles.
How thoughtful, they've brought me a canvas for my keys.
If there are no cameras or witnesses, there will be a flat if I got something sharp enough on me.
A nail when positioned correctly will cause a flat tire to slowly deflate once it's driven over. Makes it less likely to get caught because the damage won't be discovered at the scene
Call the polizia municipale for removal
After being on hold for 35 minutes they tell you that there are no patrols available at the moment to come to see (although you remember seeing one parked in front of a nearby bar) but they will come to check as soon as possible.
"As soon as possible" they meant after 6 hours and the pick up is no more parked there
Btw I don't understand those that are buying this kind of penis enhancement devices (no. It's not used for work), parking spots in Italy aren't designed for this size. If you have anything longer than 4 meters it's hard to find a place. Getting a 5.5 meters vehicle just for showing off, it's simply masochism
Fun fact: you're not supposed to keep your hitch on when you're not towing because it is directly connected to your frame, which means you lose the protection of the crumple zones and the bumper. If a misplaced sledgehammer were to land on your hitch it could seriously bend your shit and warrant very expensive repairs
Ball style tow hitches are usually removable by a very visible cotter pin! Free ball hitch!
They also make bedside tenderizers
And window softeners
Wish I had the balls to scratch a little penis in the paintwork with my keys.
What I really do is make a picture (with visible license plate and added points for having a person in wheelchair with a sad face next to it) and send it to the city...
Coin it as I squeeze past.
Look for my umbrella because that big ole cloud might be bringing rain
Drain all of their blinker fluid.
I am outside with my dogs, I carry a bag of shit, I see garbage parking..
Throw cow poop on the car
I always keeps a bucket of cow manure with me, for just this purpose.
Everyone called me weird for it, but i always knew i wasn't the only one

There was someone that parked like this all the time when I lived in an apartment complex. I called the management office to complain, and they explained that their towing enforcement contract was only Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. You know, when everyone is at work, and therefore not parked.
The truck owner went on vacation, so her truck was parked like this on a Monday, and I called. The office worker decided they had to give a written warning first. So nothing ever happened with it.
"Uh oh, is there a baby in the back seat? That's super dangerous! We better get the baby some air!"
"...oh, there wasn't? Oops. Well, my heart was in the right place."
