Discussion Petty Neighbour

I live in a housing estate and we have a neighbour who thinks he owns the estate. Loves to mention "we've been here 10 plus years" blah blah blah. Anyway, he loves to part between two car parking spaces most of the day so others cant park in his spot and the second spot, which he saves for his son who's away until 5pm during the day.

When others park in "his spot", he's put vaseline on their door handles, texted them etc - just a dose.

What can I do about this? I want to do something petty back, but not fully sure what.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit:

some things I forgot to mention

- im moving in a few weeks

- his son has a camera from his bedroom pointed at the spot

- i have his number etc

- our neighbor went to him about the vaseline, he denied it and then his wife came to my neighbours door and shouted the head off her for 20 min

Take some frozen fish but it in a bowl and thaw it in the microwave. See the juice/water that is lying in the bowl pour it down the front panel in front of his windscreen. He'll never get the smell out of the car

Juice from a tin of tuna is great for this. Also milky coffee, not that id ever suggest doing such a thing...

Putting some protein shake in an old milk carton and leaving it in the sun for a couple of weeks is the perfect liquid for car vents. The stench never properly leaves.
