When the parking wars go nuclear.

That's it. No more mister nice guy. Those idiots on P2 have been parking in a space and half for TOO long. What's the name of those things that go underneath the car wheels with casters on them? I need to buy four of them and teach some Jerk in an Acura a lesson.
Basically our work parking situation is tight. VERY tight. If everyone in the entire building parks where they're supposed to, then there's just enough room for all the regular tenants to fit. But apparently the jerk store had a sale and the biggest buyers were the companies in my building.
SUV's routinely park in the compact spaces and kill the ability to use the spots on either side. Companies STORE materials in the few big area spaces that SUV's can fit. And the one hour visitor spots are routinely occupied by tenants who should know better thus driving real visitors down into the regular tenant spots out of necessity.
But the worst offenders are Toyota Tom and Acura Al. They've taken a three space area to themselves and routinely park well over the line so that the middle spot is unusable. In a building that can count the parking spots in inches, their gall is unfathomable.
And it's about to end. With your help.
I know there are these things that are basically casters for car wheels. Or something. I want to buy four of them. I want to show up at 11AM when those smug morons are happily at work and then use my casters to slide their cars into their propers spots so some large SUV can park in between them and they're forced to climb through their trunk to get in their cars and back out.
So it's up to you MEFI: Where do you buy these devices, how much do they cost and is overnight shipping available?

This is an incredibly stupid idea and will not end well.
Here are some more car casters.

Put the casters on a bike rack, and each day, move the bike rack between them.

Response by poster: For the record, I have complained to building management (they're in Korea and could care less. Our elevators go down more than Windows Vista)
I have left pleasant notes on the windshields to no effect.
I have even asked security to get involved. Their response was that it wasn't their job.
I've done all the smart and reasonable stuff. So now I'm onto car dollies.
