Park in spot “D” and leave it locked inside a car. It will still be less conspicuous than the red light on a sony handycam (I have two), and you won’t have to make a trip out to it every 42 minutes to change the disk.

The other problem that you’ll face with the handycam is that the single IR LED is not terribly bright. Best-Buy has a IR floodlight attachment that clips into the interface at the top for about $35 and it works wonders. Detail is also a little bit less in nightshot mode.

Honestly, the way I would approach the situation, if I were getting fluff from the authorities, would be to leave your car parked in “A” and your fiance’s in “C.” Pull an all-nighter. Sit in your fiance’s car with the handycam. When you see him come out, turn it on and start recording. Make sure you get good footage of him damaging your car, then, without stopping the camera, so it’s one continuous feed, get out of the car, approach him and ask what he’s doing. Make sure to get his face on camera. After that the key thing is to protect the camera and disk. Once you have irrefutable evidence, you should have his ass in a sling. I say should, because it’s new jersey, and god knows what kind of wierd law they might have about videotaping after dark.

Option B is fighting fire with fire. I assure you that there are simple, effective ways to send his car to hell for parking in your spot, but I’ll let you figure those out on your own.
