First of all I am very sorry for such a late reply. Had caught up with some studies!

I don't think the cop asked him to park there. He was just trying to give me an excuse. The same cop had been posted there that day whom we had many a times complained about the cars parked in front of our building. Moving the gate, thats going to hamper the movement of pedestrians who again might turn up using our building compound!

The suit and tie and middle age have lost their nobility and have just become excuses for miscreants to misbehave. |
I agree Partha that there are some men in that age group who have developed this kind of an attitude but that does no mean that all the men of the age group are the same. There is a kind who wish to accept their mistake and learn from them while some others think that they are educated in all fields and there is nothing left in the world that they need to learn. My advice, stay away from the second kind of people.

I have been a witness of Vandalism on my car and know how it feels to see your beloved in such a manner. Hence, even if I wish, I can not do such a thing on any other person's property.

Yes Noopster, I agree that I should have ended the matter when he sad sorry. But, the tone in which he apologized, it seemed he was just doing a formality. Anyways, I was not going to rip his bumper off because my ethics and my values prevent me from doing such low value things. Even though the consequences were such that one would damage the persons car in case of repeated offenses, but my ethics and my love for cars even if it belonged to someone else, will always prevent me from doing this.

These things are removable, so you guys can unlock them and remove them whenever a car passes out of the building. If this seems a little impractical to you, how about hiring a watchman who can shoo these guys away when they want to park? |

Tahnk you reswaran and mannubhai. Almost all of the society members are ready on a watchman but every place has some one who has to be the bone in the meat! There are 2-3 people who say that we don't need a watchman and it increases the expense of the society for no reason. This all after a bike been stolen from the society and lock breaking incident in my flat some 3 months ago. Our floor members are now planning to install CCTV on our floor to at-least safeguard our flats. It won't solve the parking problem, but our flats will be safe till the members agree on a watchman.
Oh yes, thank you reswaran for your efforts towards solving my problem. Will be taking a look at this stuff.
Thank you all T-BHPians for helping me out.
On the other side, after the incident, I came home, Drank two cups of cold water, went out for a ride in the car with my family and enjoyed rest of the day. Being with your loved ones is the best way to forget these kind of incidents and move on.
There was again a car parked in front of the gate. A positive being that, the person had left some one in the car with the car keys. The person did not know to drive, he asked me to move the car and himself handed me the keys. I do not have problems with such people as I understand finding a parking is a difficult task in my area.
