Allocated car parking spaces - and someone else in yours....

I would block him in and put notes with my phone number on all the car windscreens that I had blocked. On the offending car I would write a random name and wait for the call.

While waiting for the call I would grow a pristine moustache in preparation for a Sergeant Major style *******ing.

Guys, guys, keep it down. If air can be stolen it can be taxed.
In which case it is likely to be charged thus; Xpence/Litre + an ad valorem amount of 5% of the base price then adding the temporary VAT rate of 20%.
Air stored under pressure, such as that within a tyre, air bed, football etc will be charged as above * PSI.

So a football containing 10L of air at 15PSI with a base cost of 5p/litre would cost;
£0.05 * 15L = £0.75
£0.75 + ad valorem @ 5% = £0.7875
£0.7875 + VAT @ 20% = £0.945

if the place you live at has an intercom system you could have rang everyone one of them to see if it belonged to one of the residents?
 
Has everyone missed the obvious thing here? You said it's a hire car.... Why not call the hire company and they will then be able to look on their system, see who it is and contact them.....
 
Wait at the car until he comes back, then strike up a conversation with him.

Every time you speak to him, refer to him as Stumpy.

Eventually, curiosity will get the better of him, and he'll ask why you keep calling him Stumpy. At this point, remove one of his ankles with a machete.

But whose air would you use?

Ad's Scented Air Company LLP

I have some lovely new Lavender scented air in stock and could pop on over and give a free 'float away tester' boost to the rental car tyres.

It's lovely being around a floating car once it comes into land as the Lavender infused air is purged from the tyres and fills the surrounding area.

they shouldn't release personal identifiable information such as their name or contact details to strangers when all you have is their reg and no legitimate reason for contacting them. In the eyes of the law "I want to tell them to move their car" wouldn't be a legitimate a reason.


You could however maybe ask them to give him a message on your behalf however, though I doubt they'd oblige.
 
If you read what I wrote I did say that the hire company could contact them. If they're parked in a spot that they're not allowed to be parked in I'd like to think that they'd be cooperative
 
It would be a good one to argue I think. Crime screeners would certainly mark it as theft as you have permanently deprived the owner of the nitrogen.
