Second, if you put yourself in that position (parking like a douche), don't whine when things like this happen, because they will.
Just park like normal people do, and you won't have any additional problems. Park in the boonies if you want, but park like a normal person.
WHY INVITE PEOPLE DO DO STUFF TO YOUR CAR?????
Because when you park like a douchebag, that's what you're doing.

Ok.... so the SUV parks first. Not illegally. Then the cars park secondly. Not illegally. However, they have just made it impossible for the SUV owner to access and use his vehicle. Which, I'm pretty certain, there's laws against that for such an occasion - double parked? I would call the police and verify my rights. They'd probably send out a unit to try and find the owners of the other two cars, get them to move them and issue verbal or written warnings. Personally, I'd try to deny the officer's presence and just go straight to towing them.
My parking harmed no one. Your parking is denying me access and use of my own personal property. It has surpassed inconvenience and has become an outright denial of use of MY property. For such things, there are punishments. I'm an ass, I prefer to have you towed. Mine was a victimless crime of societal standards. Yours is a crime in which I am the victim and breaks some kind of statute somewhere. There is an unneccesary escalation here from "that guy's a jerk" to breaking the law. Just like the double-space issue and keying cars. A minor inconvenience has been raised to vandalism.
Because, I've never understood how someone's parking is an "invitation" to cause any kind of harm. What sick satisfaction do people get by doing things like this? So that SUV is parked awkwardly? Big whoop. But as Cristoff reminds us... you never know who you're messing with. I'm not a 6'7" muscle man, but I am an asshole with a smartphone, and I know how to find a tow-truck and a police officer to aid me in making your life miserable while protecting myself and my rights. Your punishment does not fit my crime. My punishment will fit your crime. Deny me access to my property because you're on some self righteous act of rebellion (and that's your motive), and I will see to it that you learn there's a time and a place. And neither one involves me or my property.
