I am a lowly security guard, and one of my personal pet hates, is people parking in reserved/disabled or cars in motorcycle parking.
I would quietly have a chat to the security, call them on the phone, or preferably talk to them in person.
Say something like cagers get pissed when you take up a full car park on your bike, but unfortunately these douchebags make it so you HAVE to park in a car park.
You've heard threats about kicking your bike over, moving your bike out of the park so they can park there, and the like, and you just want to save the hassle for both yourself and the site guards by parking in your designated areas.
To do this, however, site policies need to be enforced.....
This then has a dual effect. One, it advises them of the problem, and two, it will then be a matter of record - so if anything happens to your bike, you can refer to that conversation etc.
Just be nice. Sure, some security guards think they're gods - but most are just trying to make a living, constantly reminded by all and sundry that we are the lowest of the low.
I strongly advise against speaking with the car owners, or leaving a flyer, because YOU then are the target, whereas if it comes from the establishment, the cagers can whinge all they want etc.
Cheers,
Rick
