At the point this behaviour causes you issues then it's the time to act. I don't think the OP is all that bothered at the moment.
Long story short. BIL is in a new build 4 bed detached estate. All houses just 3ft between each house, just enough for wheely bin. Front has 6m drive just wide enough for 2 cars. Problem, family houses. Next door 3 cars, other side four cars (two adult kids). House with 4 cars kept not just parking in-front of his house, but also blocking one of BIL's cars from getting out - literally no room to shuffle. Politely asked them to not do it, but their answer was ,"we'd block our drive then".
BIL then speaks to the council and get's a 'H' painted on the road, the width of his drive, no wider. Neighbour parks over the 'H', he takes photo, sends to council, neighbour get's parking fine. Drive blocking stopped.
Roll on some months, neighbour decides to move to another new build. Family are in the 'sales office' discussing buying one of the show houses, and are moaning about their existing neighbour. In walks my BIL who just happens to be the site manager. And no, the family did not get to retain the show house's metal railing fence. That was no-longer in the deal !

Bollard for the serious stuff, if it's a BMW parking there the bollard is that makes mortal enemy.
Dig a big hole and stretch a black tarpaulin over
Based upon some of the posts in the Trump thread - wait for the driver to return and get in the car then shoot them four times in the face.
Are there any updates on this? I am intrigued to know if you found out who was parking in front of your garage.
I can't figure it out... Recently my school randomly shut for heating issues, so I was suddenly home early and at home the next day.
I still find a suspicious dry spot occasionally, but can't figure out how I've never seen the car...

This feels like the beginning of an X-files episode.
Maybe more of a Robert Patrick era X-files episode rather than a David Duchovny era episode but still...
I spilt a load of wax outside the garage a few years ago (different house) that left a weird dry spot sometimes...

Make sure to leave enough room so you can jump infront.
Get an ACME hole, watch car park on it. Then jump on it to test it. Free holiday to Australia.

unmm, are you married?
OP, do you need a carbon monoxide detector in your house?
it snowed here yesterday. The snow only lay in places where cars hadn’t been overnight. The cars left before 9 am and snow didn’t start until after 11 - even at 2pm the snow wasn’t lying on the shadows of the previous car… it would be ironic if you have actually been getting hot n bothered about your own car!Are there any updates on this?

I considered that when I got back one evening. Car hadn't been there since 7am, I get back at 5pm and there's a dry spot.
Think it's possible for a dry spot to endure that long?
Is your garage powered? Could you get a vinted blink/ring camera?
No, there's no power...
We have two Eufy cameras. One just has a battery inside - it lasts for about 3 months between charges. The other has a tiny solar panel about 5cm square - it's never needed charging.
Stick something like that up and report back.
Motion activated wildlife camera might be another option if you can be arsed. Start at around £30 on Amazon.
