I think Alabama qualifies as the south.
Most people in the building are considerate, so no plans to move because one person can't park. I'll let them get towed instead.
I would have let the landlord know, but I got home around 1 AM and didn't want to wake him up over this.

A note with a curious beginning and ending might work.
Years ago someone parked in front of a 4 car garage that was 2 wide and 2 deep. The people who use that garage just got out some of the floor jacks and jacked it up and roiled it to an area out of the way.
Back in the steel mill days of Pittsburgh there were big lots that the employees parked in. There were a couple of stories about people who parked improperly. Such as pushing a vehicle with a truck until it was out of the lot and illegally parked in a street where it received tickets. Or the truck with the high lift kit who got pinned in one too many times and decided to drive over the cars.
One time at a company I worked for, we used metal bands to tie wood crates for shipping. One summer employee (college kid) had a project he had to finish on his last day of work. Everyone trusted him and knew he would be the last person leaving, so he was told to lock the door when he left. His car was old with rust and faded paint, so I got together some of the employees and we put those steel bands over the roof, over the doors and under the car, pulled them tight and crimped them.
We knew that when he left he would lock the door, so there would be no way for him to get back in to get something to cut those steel bands. Everyone hid below the crest of a hill and watched.
After he saw the car and it sunk in that he could not get back in, we all walked towards him with a cutter to cut the bands.
I might have greeted you with a loaded .45 for that stunt.
First through one hundredth rule: you DO NOT MESS WITH MY CAR, ever, under any circumstances!

That car was many different shades of paint with no shine, some sections with obvious back alley body work, some rust, and basically a college persons rat ride that ran and that was about it. If it would of had any decent finish to it I would not have done the stunt. As it was there was no way you would notice any difference in the appearance after that stunt was done.

So I guess the wood crate re-assembled not touching the vehicle with only the rubber of the wheels still showing is not a good idea when it comes to your vehicle?

Jarlaxle, I guess it is a safe bet that you never had an old monster Buick with a faded paint job that you could park on top of Mt.Washington and let a half dozzen friends sit on it to watch the 4th of July fireworks.

Your stories of parking in Pittsburgh explain why my Explorer looked the way it did. It came from Pittsburgh and had new mirrors (both sides) because they got knocked off, a smashed front bumper, tweaked rear bumper, and heavily Bondo'd rear quarter, plus enough door dings for about five average vehicles.
