One individual I met in Salt Lake took Polaroid pictures of the cars
showing licence plate and marked parking space and sent them to the
police.  He also left a note on the window reading something like:
	As a concerned citizen, I have taken a picture of your
	vehicle parked in a handicapped parking space.  If you
	are indeed handicapped, but don't have the special plates,
	drop a note to Sgt. <whoever> at <address of police station>,
	with proof of your condition, and no action will be taken.
	If you are not handicapped, please consider parking in
	a regular spot, walking another 50 yards, and avoiding
	future problems with me or others who don't like your type.
Such a note is effective alone, but this guy actually did take the
pictures, mailed them, and several times had to show up in court
(he didn't mind at all) if the person didn't pay the fine that was
issued to them.

I personally just scribble a note and leave it on the windshield
stating "I didn't notice any handicap as you walked into the store.
Perhaps it's a mental problem."
