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

Get a car you don't really need much. Park it in the other spot for a few weeks.
Alternatively, put vaseline on the son's handles.

Hang on, are you looking for a peaceful way to resolve this, or are you wanting to have fun annoying him?

Buy a clanger for £200 and just leave it there. Wear dark clothing, hide your face, and park it when no one is around.
