I've seen it for a number of years.. It's the folks for whom logical
thinking is a pipe dream..

If you feel like it, call the police.. the striped area is considered part
of the handicapped space, and carries the same penalties (currently
about $300 in Palo Alto, your rate may vary depending on how greedy the
county gets with admin fees, etc..)

I suspect you could do the same if the space is blocked with boxes, or
other store crap, unless they have additional spaces temporarly designated.
