Well guess what I got to do tonight when I got home?! Thats right, I called Calgary Parking Authority again. Although I asked for them just to ticket them instead of going for a tow. I'm tired of fighting with these people, I just wish I could pull in, and out of my garage without having to make 40 3pt turns, and spending 10 minutes doing it. As funny as it is to pull an Austin Powers move a few times a day, I just wish they would stop doing this!

The original car that was towed is out of impound and taking up half their back alley drive way.

Are you able to put something in your space, like a garbage can, when you leave so that they are unable to park in that spot? I know it would mean you have to to extra work to keep them out of your space, but they may get the hint, and stop. They may also just move the item, but that would take extra work on there part. It may save you the headache of dealing with their ignorance.
I would caution against doing something in retaliation. The people you are dealing with are already showing you no respect, so if you do something to them, would it be much of a stretch for them to vandalize your property next? I know that I would be ****ed off and want to do something as well, but I would think that they would just escalate to something worse.

Sadly no I can't put anything there.

This is kind of how it works

The first time:

___ROCK WALL_____
[special car]
------ALLEY-----------
___GARAGE DOOR___
CAR CAR

The second time

___ROCK WALL_____
------ALLEY-----------
[special car]
___GARAGE DOOR___
CAR CAR


Last night;

___ROCK WALL_____
[special car]
------ALLEY-----------
___GARAGE DOOR___
CAR CAR

The extra sad part is this is a middle age couple who is doing this! I'll just keep calling parking services, I made the effort and now look what happens
