First, You're not being petty, but realistic. That is the way life is. Rank has it's privileges. Second, it starts with the parking spot, then moves on to something else. The parking spot stealing is not the problem but rather a symptom of some issues the young lady has with something or someone. Last, congratulations for having an employer that looks out for his long term employees. Your employer could of said work it out yourselves and then sat back and watched as the battle raged on.

Personally, I think you were being immature and petty. If the parking spot was not labeled or assigned, then it was not yours, merely a spot in the parking lot. I can't say I blame someone for not wanting to work for a supervisor who puts such emphasis on something so ridiculous as a parking space. Are you one of those managers who nit-picks the things that don't really make a difference, and completely ignores the things that should be getting addressed? I'd be willing to bet a week's pay that you are. "Respect my authority"? Please! I have had one too many managers like you.

No, i absoloutely don't think you were being petty. Sometimes as a person you become territorial, it's totally natural. If she wasn't mature enough to respect the situation, then it's better off you don't have to work with someone like that.

No, you weren't petty. When I was a server at a restaurant, a jealous girl quit one night because I got a better section. Seriously...it's a pride issue.
Go out and celebrate - you don't have to work with her anymore!
