You are in a tough spot and I think your current situation of casual annoyance has a pretty good chance of getting much worse, and only a slight chance of it getting much better. She's not breaking any laws, and while you can make the argument she's doing something morally wrong, you can't prove otherwise. I realize many around here like to take the "guilty until proven innocent" approach, but when it comes to your job and an environment you have to exist in 40 hours a week, I'd tread carefully.

I worked with autistic kids once. Most weren't visibly impaired ... they just looked like every other kid. Problem is you get them into a confined space like an elevator or a line-up and they'd start freaking out. Calaway Park has a system where they will give passes that let you get to the front of the line. The particular group I was working with didn't like to use these as the philosophy of the group was to teach the kids how to cope in real-world situations. There was one time however we did use the passes. I was yelled at (to my face) repeatedly throughout the day for abusing a system that kids with "real" problems needed.

I'm not saying you're in the same situation, quite different actually. I only bring up the story because it annoys me when people make assumptions about others when they don't have the full story. Perhaps she's totally abusing the system and perhaps she has something underlying that you don't know about. Because you don't know, I think it would be best to leave this be.

But I'd follow the advice of the Captain and Rathji. You've taken this legally as far as you can. Suggest a change to the parking regulation and leave it at that. If you'd like leave a gently worded note outlining the situation, go for it. If you include harsh tones to the note you're opening a can of worms that she could very easily take to management and given the nature of the situation they won't have much option other than to take her side. If that happens you'd best hope to god nobody saw you put that note on the car.
