That’s very funny; hide the evidence! Years ago my town tired of people holding parking spots after a heavy snowstorm, using garbage cans, lawn chairs and such so they put a warning in the local paper that they’d be removing those things in the coming week. They sent front-end loaders out to literally pick up the snow (and anything else) and dumped them in huge piles next to a river along the border. As the snow mounds melted there was a field littered with broken lawn chairs, garbage cans, etc. - nasty, but they then cleaned that up as well.

We used to make a lot of money shoveling snow for people until we got older and realized we could make faster money simply pushing people out of their parking spots (less money per effort, but much faster); this was the age of heavy rear-wheel drive cars and before the idea of “work from home”.

It’s all fun and games until you hitch a ride on a car on a snowy street and damage the side-view mirror. :-P

Your story of holding parking spots with garbage cans, chairs, etc., was classic "East Boston" growing up. Even ironing boards would do the trick.

Then you have this guy...let's see the city public works department try to nudge him from his shoveled-out spot.
