Got into a fight with neighbor's kid about parking

I will contact HOA again and beg for their help and also will report for abandoned car at the city of Suwanee.
Will keep you guys updated.

Still not sure if it's the right thing to talk to their parents.
In our 3 years of living at this cul-de-sac, they're the only one who never wave back at us or try to talk to us.



In my opinion there are three ways to handle this situation. 1) push the issue with his parents, try and reason with them, contact HOA again 2) leave the parents out of the situation, talk with the kid again, explain that you REALLY want him to move his car, and make sure he understands. No idle threats mind you, but he should get the message. 3) leave it alone. Of all the things to be stressed out about, a beat up car with a punk kid owner should not be one of them. Of the three options, only one will turn out with any degree of success. Guess which one.

I live in a cul-de-sac and there's a beat up neighbor's car parked in front of my yard for all summer long.
It irritates me because I've hard time trimming the edge of the grass since he always parked right at the edge or even worse on the grass.
I also doesn't like the fact that I've to wake up looking at his beat up car every morning.

We've a nice flat large front yard and I always enjoy playing baseball with my son.
One day, my son almost bust the window of his beat up car with his baseball so now we have to drive and practice at the park.
The car only moves for about a few hours a day or sometime just stays there... not sure what his job is or even he has one.

Today, I had enough because while I was cutting the grass, he returned and parked right in front of my yard again.
I asked him politely to explain above issues and his first response was "where do you want me to F**K the car then?"
I thought I heard it wrong, but the conversation continues with "you don't owned this F**King street" and so on and go back to your F**King property" etc...
The conversation basically started with F**K and ended with F**K.
Never heard so many F words since high school in my life...

What should I do at this point?
The parents of this kid (stepson) also had numerous issues with our next door neighbor.
I'm not going into details, but it looks like his parents are not the person you could talk and work things out.

I contacted my HOA, and they said they will try to talk but since the street is not owned by the HOA, they could not enforce anything.
I also contacted the city of Suwanee, but haven't heard back.

Any thoughts?
I had a very similar issue in my cul de sac, my neighbor works nights and his adult boys (18-22 years old) and their friends were parking in front of my house. I asked them not to (in passing) the first time it happened (I was afraid that my son would end up backing into their car since they parked very close to our driveway), the second time it happened - I got my point across in a very clear manner. I never cursed, I never threatened, but I made myself understood in a way that was easy for them to accept.

Don't take anything off of that little punk, if it were me, I would confront him when nobody was watching and explain myself in no uncertain term - if he acted like an *ss I'd clean his plow! I realize that this may not be the PC way to deal with an issue like this but I refuse to be disrespected by some little punk or the parents that refuse to hold their own children accountable...sometimes respect has to be taught!
 
get a hand full of pea gravel and put it in the grass by his car, then go cut the grass with the shoot facing his car, if his tire is on your yard go edge your property and accidentally slash his tire with your edger.
