This is why you need a naked bike with handguards, that looks filterable never mind needing to turn it round and stuff, just bash through, they'll move!

Superglue in their disc locks. They won't be going anywhere for a while then

I don't think anyone would recommend you park like that, but think about this; you arrive at work in the morning, there's one space left, what would you do? Exactly.
Then when you came back to your bike to find Superglue in your lock would you you think that was the right thing to have done?

Didn't think so.

Quite.

I like the suggestion of getting some mates down. If I was a parking nob, and I came back to find my bike had been moved, but not tampered with, and just parked correctly, I WOULD GET THE MESSAGE. I wouldn't want someone fiddling with my bike again, so I would park it properly, but since it hadn't been damaged in anyway, I wouldn't be ****ed off and irate, and looking for someone to retaliate against.

+1 vote for getting some muscle and carefully parking them all correctly. They're only scooters, so should be easy!

Doesn't take much to shove a scooter a few inches or feet to one side to make a gap big enough to manouver through. Vandalism is not an acceptable method of dealing with this - for one thing the guys whose bikes have been vandalised wouldn't have a clue why, so they wouldn't have learned a thing from it.

More to the point - Why hasn't the Bandit owner used the bike's steering lock as well... every little helps?

Looks like the White's Row car park near Liverpool Street to me. Do I get a prize? I used to park there and always get blocked in so I just used to look for the lightest bike blocking my path and move it out of the way without damaging it. I reckon people expect that to happen.

+1 on dragging scooters sideways - they are not really that heavy.

I'd rather be 10 mins late for work than block someone else in, knowing that their route out would probably involve scraping my bike?

If they were bothered about the odd scratch they wouldn't park like a c***. Just get through them in easiest possible way.
