In a neighbourhood in Zhejiang province, eastern China, a man’s decision to use three parking spaces for his son’s expensive toy cars has sparked a heated debate online.

The man, surnamed Zhao, bought three adjacent spaces in a shared underground garage, along with his flat, according to Guang Ming Daily.

The spots were left empty for a while after Zhao bought them.

However, as the neighbourhood grew and parking spaces became scarce, other residents frequently used them.

To protect his investment, Zhao came up with an unusual idea.
