Someone is in ‘my’ parking space (self.citylife)

I live in a quiet part of my city on a street with plenty of parking. Many of the houses have one or even two car driveways/garages so there is enough parking that I don’t need to park far, but the spot directly in front of my house has been occupied for WEEKS. There is nothing that makes that spot mine except that everyone sort of has their assigned spots like seats in the cafeteria. This person has a resident pass (though improperly affixed) so nothing is illegal but I’m sorta beginning to wonder if the car is abandoned.

There is absolutely nothing I can do about it except to hope that they move for street cleaning in another two weeks but it’s annoying and I wanted to vent. Anyone else experience this frustration?

AND, they are parked like shit and it feels like salt on the wound.

Edit: fixed a typo

Make a mark on the tires with chalk, to see if they ever move. If not, follow up with whatever HOA/municipality handles parking, to see if they will track the owner down. They don't want abandoned cars in their division either.
