"Oh thank god! I'm back in Spain. Maybe living in the US was just a horrible nightmare!"
Wait, that's a real country? I thought it was an elaborate set for the tv show Aqui No Hay Quien Viva. They made a whole other fucking language for it too.

"Cool, free stem valves!"

Buy a roll of those stickers they put on products that is basically impossible to remove without ripping it and always leaves behind adhesive residue. See how much you can cover.
Every Tesla is recorded. Use that info as you see fit.
Not all of them, but they all have the ability to record everything around them. So assume they are.

Walk across the crosswalk dozens of times wearing a big, metal belt buckle.
Saying "oops" every time I accidentally run into the car.
Pick up your two 20 lb sledgehammers by the end of their handles.
Then just walk across the obviously open cross walk without looking while swinging the hammers as hard as you can. If you encounter any obstacles, back up 5 feet and try again.

At least Lisbon refreshed the Zebra Stripes for the pedestrians.

I'd pee on the door handles
This sort of thing is really common where I live. No point reporting them as the police don't do anything and they continue to park like this
I ordered a pack of about a hundred business cards with "YOU OARKED LIKE AN IDIOT" on one side and a list of checkboxes with reasons on the other. Qould probably stick a couple of these at several points around the car
When I worked in printing, we made stickers of similar wording, hard as fuck to get off without ripping, bright neon green color. Would put them right above the door handle on the glass.

There used to be a website called You Park Like An Asshole that had pre-designed flyers you could attach to cars like this and other such infractions of, uh, good parking etiquette, if not also laws.
Looks like the site is dead, and either way, the other comments suggest this is in a country where the primary language isn't English so their flyers wouldn't be as useful.
... but it doesn't mean that you can't design your own in the local language and shove it under their windscreen wiper. Bonus points for putting it in a sticky-backed plastic envelope. You know. The things that parking tickets usually get put in.
Must be part of the crosswalk, just walk over it!
A car? Seen one before mate.
remember, the aircon input for cars are normally the slot under the windscreen
My immediate reaction? Why the fuck is this asshole parked in the fucking crossing walk?
I might consider calling parking enforcement to see if we can get it towed.
“Hmpf… what an asshole…” *life goes on *
Accidentally run into it head in and end up with a concussion. Then I can sue them.
