This is probably an urban legend, but still good:

A guy in (Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston) spent hours shoveling out a space in front of his house, and walked the block to the place where his car was parked. In the time that he got his car back to his newly shoveled space, someone else had taken it.

He had had it. After thinking a few minutes, he got out his garden hose, and starting filling the errant car with water. Did I mention that it was well below freezing?

After filling the car with water, and watching it slowly freeze to the parking space, he left a note: "You wanted this space? Fine - it's yours until spring!"

I don't care if it's an urban legend or not, it's a great story!
