If the OP doesn't have a photo of the car parked in the wrong spot then what action could any law enforcement agent take now? Even if she had written down the licence plate number it is her word against the driver of the other car... no proof that the woman did as accused.

couldnt find it on google hey?

Amy said it was near an entrance, i think??  I'm pretty sure Westfields would have video surveillance cameras. Get them to go through the tape 😄

How long would that take? I doubt they would bother... unless this person has been reported before for doing the same thing. 

it's ok, im not going to report her now, the day after.

"I would find it very annoying to be blocked in at car park, especially in the heat that Adelaide has been experiencing. They are stuffy and get very hot, and not everyone may have car aircon where they just could sit in the car, turn the engine on and run the aircon for a bit."

I didnt know how long she was going to be so i tossed on whether to get bub out of his stroller, put it and him in the car, sit in the car for a while and then, if she took ages to return, get stroller and bub back out the car and go inside and report her.

I also thought, what if i go all the way back in, up to centre management (which was down the other end from where i was and up 4 floors in a lift) and then in that time, she goes.

So i decided, i would wait beside the car.

I was prepared to wait 10 minutes and then stop a passerby and ask for a pen to note the licence plate and head back inside to report her.

couldnt find it on google hey?

was that directed at me?  

i dont know Jo, i dont shop at Westfields.  Who issues the fines there?  I thought it was the council.

How long would that take? I doubt they would bother... unless this person has been reported before for doing the same thing.

not sure..if you provided the date and time.....lucky there would be no audio :^O

our westfield doesnt have paid parking yet but it does have 90 minute parking areas. I mistakingly parked in a 90 min section once for a bit longer and i got a parking ticket from the council

I find it disheartening that more and more people seem to be inconsiderate, thoughtless and lacking in respect towards others.

IMO, some subjects at schools are dated and should be replaced with -

1. Health/Nutrition

2. Communication ( Including courtesy, manners and how to diffuse confrontations)

meep - the Mall issues the fines. Whether they can legally or not is open to question.

From the info above, in NSW, if mall managment has taken/received a cars rego number, the Govt (RTA?) doesn't have to supply the Mall with the details of the owner of the car. Therefore the Mall management wouldn't be able to locate (no name & address) the owner of the car to send them a fine?

. Some great news for the people of NSW and some not-so-good news for the operators of private car parks. A few years ago when the former state government wouldn't supply companies like Australian National Car Parks with registration details the matter ended up in the Supreme Court. The court ruled the government had to supply the information. Well, the state government has just passed legislation which means it will no longer be compelled to supply rego details to car park operators.
