"Don’t park here. You will patch. (your tires)"
I love the indirect threat hidden in this warning, which is painted on the outside of a garage in the center of Maribor. It’s not: "Don’t park here or I will slash your tires" or even "Don’t park here or I will damage your car." Instead, the emphasis is on the headache the potential violator will go through when the damage is already done. Also, flikal is a very funny word. It’s slang, of course, taken from German. (Flicken -> to patch, to mend, to repair.)
For another example of aggressive parking reservations in Slovenia, go take a look at this. (Thanks Sebastian!)
