I live in low income apartment housing...Theres no certain spots for your apartment. There is aple parking. Within the last week with all the snow we have gotten - Theres over a foot of snow in the parking area. They plowed the driving areas, but the spaces are kinda snow filled. We shovled and salted our parking spot that have parked in for a year. Along with a path for around my car and to our door. Parking is right in front of our building, right in front of our door. Im from Florida and have two small kids so I have been adapting with the snow, also I have a small 4 door car. Last night we came back from the store and someone had parked in our spot - They do not live in our building but a few buidlingd away and acorss the parking/driving area, (so they walked farther for a clena spot then to park near where they normally do and should)
They have a 4x4 SUV - they can park anywhere! We havent had a problem since since we did this, no one else has been as rude to park there.

The managment office wasnt open for me to ask what I should do...The spots arent assigned but still that is rude. What should we do? We parked and honked for awhile last night but no one moved it...We are unsure of which door the SUV belongs to. Should I ask the cops? If they end up parking there again today...we talked about shovling the snow back behind and around them - LOL

How is that rude? If there aren't assigned spots you must have known that someone would most likely take the most shovelled spot. Seems obvious. That is why you don't put that much effort in when you don't have assigned spots. Really sorry, but I can't bring myself to feel all too bad.

The police will not help you with this matter, I highly doubt that management will either.
Unfortunately because the parking spots are clearly NOT assigned, you have little choice but to grin and bear it here. I doubt that leaving a note on their car would help either, it seems that they are lacking in the common sense department to begin with. However, you could always leave an item in the spot that you are hoping to keep - such as an old chair or milk crate. It won't guarantee that you will keep "your" spot, but it might help. People do that in the city all the time where I grew up - Chicago.
When snow falls and spaces get fewer or less accessible people tend to forget their manners.

How about talking to management about assigning spots? Then you WOULD have a case against these ppl. Now you have nothing since it is open parking and they have just as much right to park there as anyone else! This always happens when it snows, don't take it personally. Ppl want a nice clean spot but are too lazy to lift a finger.

spots aren't assigned, they won't do anything. Really you shouldn't go to that much trouble since you can't be guaranteed a spot.

It really is not "your" spot. However, if you shoveled it and cleaned around it, that was rude for someone to take your nice clean spot...
