I reported it a few times, got photos etc. and the police now patrol the area fairly frequently. It's nowhere near the problem it was.
Failing all that I like Resolute's idea. Park a sturdy old beater for the idiots to crash into. In the meantime I would park your vehicles further away though. Sure, it may seen that you are 'giving in' but you're not. You're protecting yourself. The only one suffering right now is you. Make your calls, buy your old tank, get your video out but, above all, move your vehicles for now....

No kidding, this worked for the kid in Edmonton who racked up a $80,000.00 cell phone bill and he managed to get it reduced to $3,000.00. Go to the paper, at least.
I like the old land barge idea too. Park it kinda stupid so that people have to weave around it and if they hit it, it's their fault. That should work until the city institutes the "old beater" law which will prohibit you from having derelict vehicles on your property and this could net you a nasty fine.
