An idea I had today might be just what I'm looking for. I strongly suspect it is a purely American thing, though. There are these, erm, items some guys hang from the back of their trucks. Disgusting, really. So I'll make a homemade pair for his truck, and install them without his knowledge. I'll let you use your imagination how they're going to look ;).
See? That's evil with no havoc, and no property damage.

Steven Raucci: Schenectady’s Satanic Maintenance Man
...
Raucci was finally brought down — indicted and convicted of 18 counts of arson, conspiracy, weapons and criminal mischief, and sentenced to 23 years in prison — after he was caught on tape discussing his methods and trafficking in explosives.
...
(ref)..."We felt like moving targets just waiting for Mr. Raucci to strike," said Ronald Kriss, who had testified that his pickup truck and his wife's vehicle were vandalized...

Here's a review in Scientific American:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/wisdom-from-psychopaths/
:D ooooh yeah, some of those are good...based on this you could:
- place workhorses in the contentious parking place with danger tape
- place it in the space next to your car
- add a sign to make it an employee of the month spot or better yet
- make a workplace suggestion to reserve that spot for employee of the month
- put a fake boot on the car wheels
- call in a "parking lights are" on for his car so he has to go and check
- call in a "will the owner of car xxx please come to the parking lot"
- add a Uber/Lift mustache to his car
- add a promotional bumper sticker advertizing PF on his car and get a freebie from Greg
A cautionary word:
