He did inform me that the vehicle was a rental car which brings to question the issue of why someone would pay rental fee and leave a car sit for two days.
I then called Community Watch who informed me that if the car was not blocking an intersection, a fire hydrant or someone's driveway, there was nothing they could do.
I put a note on the windshield of the car requesting that the car be parked in the visitor parking and that if the person had an issue with that, I would be happy to "discuss" it with them. I provided my name and address as well as phone number.
I also polled the immediate neighbors and they do not know whose car it is.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can do?
Thanks

Community Watch is not always up to speed on infractions related to deed restrictions. You may have more luck, if your deed restrictions indicate that no parking on the street is allowed, by contacting Deed Compliance by phone at 352-751-3912 or email deedcompliance@districtgov.org
Good Luck!
