If you are parked way out what purpose does taking 2 spots serve? I alway park way out with no other cars around in 1 spot.

That looks like an apartment complex, given the numbered spots as well. It is quite possible the owner of the car owns both parking spots, too. If so, no one else could park there anyway. If I had two private spots, I would probably do the same thing, albeit not as obvious.

Now a public parking lot, completely different story....

I do the exact same.

Every now and then the vehicles make it my way, I joke at work that no matter where I park people follow me... I keep going further and further out.

Maybe write up a tow notice that says this car will be towed if it is parked like this 48 hours from this point. And put in some bogus tow company name.
A tow done the wrong way (on hook) will do more damage then a key!

I will also park out in the toolies - but only in one space. It's been well documented here that this kind of parking yields bad results. If his car gets damaged or spat upon - he deserves it.

Half the world thinks people who drive Corvettes and other nice cars are rich, stuck-up a$$holes, why prove them right? There are way too many jealous haters out there to take a chance. As that great American Mr. T has said so many times -

If he's not paying for two parking spots maybe you should copy this and annonmously tape it to his window, or his front door....
Be careful though...

Saying should be reversed.
This happened to a friend of mine at Walmart. He, I did not witness it, got in his Vette, pulled out, and kicked the crap out of the two cars.
