Is it parked like that regularly and overnight? If so, well, you can buy a knockoff battery powered Makita angle grinder off Aliexpress for very little money and it's very useful to own one anyway, especially if you also own an old car where bolts keep rusting shut so bad it's easier to cut things off.
In this instance, I'd recommend doing just the tow hitch. If you get caught there's less damages to pay, it creates enough space for most people to pass, and the owner of the truck will probably get the message. Plus it would take way too long to cut off any part of the bed
I'm sure af nice sanding of the offending parts of the car would send a message?
Did you know you have to be suuper careful when refill your brake fluid resevoir because its practically melts your paint immediately.
Because of this I would reccomend NEVER carrying an open container or leaving the lid unscrewed whilst walking around, one trip on some uneven footpath paving could be disasterous l.
