I just moved into a gated house complex. In the middle there is an alley with garage doors on both sides. When I moved in, my landlord told me I was able to have guests park in the alley. So yesterday, my girlfriend parked in the alley.
When we got back from the store, there was a note on the car that said, "This is my second notice to you, don't park here anymore. You are blocking my tenants parking space. If you continue to park here, I will have your car towed away. Thanks."
This was actually the FIRST notice we got. Also, there was a big scratch on the right rear bumper. The person who did it didn't leave a number to contact.
I talked to my landlord about this and he said that she was actually not supposed to park the way she did, she was supposed to park horizontally, not vertically. So now we know we cannot park like that, but what about the scratch? This person had the nerve to scratch her car and tell her to move or be towed away.

oh boo hoo where's the waaaaambulance?
People like you need a good hit and run to remind you to pull your head out of your a*se. You are blocking other people's access and you didn't notice. f..wit. If it was me I would have towed your car and not warned you. So count yourselves lucky and get over it

You're only basing it on circumstancial evidence. Are you implying your landlord did it? Even if you were to take your landlord to small claims court there were no witnesses. It could've been anyone. Not worth it, it's more important to maintain a cordial relationship with your landlord. Chalk it up as a loud wake-up call to the kind of integrity your landlord has (none, if they DID do it) and don't let any of your friends park there anymore.

There should be corresponding damage on the other car - if there is; photograph it with a digital camera then photograph the damage to your own vehicle.
Take this to the police (if it matches) along with their note - it is called leaving the scene of an accident. Show them this on the camera - one picture summing a thousand words as they say.
Leave a note on their windscreen asking how they intend to pay for the damage and leave a cellphone number.
This worked for me !! It cost them £457.07 and they probably got a nice visit from the police.

park vertically one more time and wait in the car. delibritly blocking in this person when they come try to do something to the car hop out and ask them about the sratch, if they deny it or run their mouths, punch them in the face after a swift kick to the groin. Then say if you dont pay for the scratch im going to get mad. they should be happy to pay for it after that kick to the balls.

About all you can do is file an insurance claim. Even if you knew who wrote the note, there is no proof they are the same party that made the scratch.

Were you blocking in the person that made the scratch?

You don't know it was the same person, and even if you do you can't prove it.
See if her comprehensive insurance will cover it. If it doesn't just chalk it up to misfortune.
Sorry it had to happen. We all have our bad days.
