Back in late <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-e-g.co.uk\/blog\/a-fresh-challenge\/\">July 2013<\/a>, a few days after starting at my new (and I would like to add happily current) employer somebody scratched my car door. This was not a minor misdemeanour. They had scrapped paintwork clear off my door. I decided to stop parking with everyone else in a prime location and park further away. What difference did a few additional minutes walk from the office, if it gave me the peace of mind. Little did I know what was waiting ahead. Now I believe taking a discreet parking spot away from everybody else would mean just that. Out of sight and out of mind. A colleague had other ideas. He decided on a couple of occasions to park right up against my vehicle, making access from the nearside door impossible.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a title=\"Car Parking\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/teg\/33451181445\/in\/photostream\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/4\/3920\/33451181445_c8e9f61855.jpg\" alt=\"Car Parking\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><a title=\"Parking\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/teg\/32702508714\/in\/dateposted\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/4\/3757\/32702508714_135fdd7a94.jpg\" alt=\"Parking\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\r\n<p>It was time to come up with a new tactic.
