This same guy BTW would do petty vandalism to cars (steal the windshield wiper blades, let all the air out of the tires, etc.) if they happened to park in the space he felt entitled to. He would never have the guts to confront anyone face-to-face, but sneaky little kick-in-the-groin attacks were always part of his repertoire.
Turnabout should be fair play. He needed to be introduced to a 2x4 and a dark alley.
Anybody can slash tires as well. If he had tires he should expect to have them damaged.
