sounds like a towin ’
It does make sense to have the person who wants the tow to pay for it rather than the whole extortion racket it becomes when the owner of the car pays for it. Even when illegally parked, it should be a ticket from law enforcement rather than essentially grand theft auto unless you pay whatever amount they ask for or do a grand theft auto back to them.

Looks like someone’s tires need to get slashed
Just call a tow truck. No need to resort to revenge. Them having to retrieve the truck and pay the fees should be enough of a deterrent without giving them reasons to call the police.
Even better. I didn’t think towing was more than a couple hundred dollars.
Not if you slash two or more tires 😈 Tires are around $100-200 a piece to have mounted and balanced, and that’s usually either a used tire or a bottom of the barrel one. If you slash one they can replace it with a spare (assuming they have one). If you slash half or more of them they have to get the vehicle towed and have the tires replaced, that takes a lot of time and money. That could easily be like $600, getting your vehicle released from the tow yard if you pick it up within 24 hours is usually only like $150.
That truck doesn’t have tire pressure any higher than a car does. It’s the large trucks like semi trucks and dump trucks that have the high-pressure tires.
You haven’t done any property damage….? Until they start driving 5 minutes later and the tire goes flat mid drive which causes it to explode. The vehicle then loses control and hits a completely innocent random bystander.
Congrats, you just committed manslaughter for petty revenge.
If it’s a persistent problem, and a tow truck isn’t an option…
Get a set of cheap car dollies, then you can move it out of the way. THEN you can place it perpendicular to the parking spots with the bumper at that support beam and he’ll be stuck until the blue car leaves.
I’d put the truck between the pillar and the wall if short enough, so they couldn’t get out without tow truck.
