He couldn't come back to see if the car's owner had actually learned anything, but he would have loved to see the reaction.
For your range rover driver, a big sticker saying "You aren't supposed to park here!" affixed to his driver side windshield that can't be removed without professional help seems appropriate.
In NYC, that sort of behavior gets you towed by the city, with a hefty fine to retrieve your car from the city lot.

The police in the Netherlands is much too nice. When they see his car they go into the café and ask him to park somewhere else. He drives away in the car and comes back, in the car, five to ten minutes later (when the police is gone) and parks on the corner again.
If a truck driver would do what your friend was allowed to do he would get a fine and would probably have to pay for damages.
But the stone is back and he can't park on the corner anymore. Now he parks his car in the spot which is meant for loading and you aren't allowed to park there for longer than 10 minutes, but at least he isn't blocking anyone's door.
