The owner of the cars, the vehicle is impounded on their lot, charged daily storage fees on top of the tow amount they charge...which can be upwards of $350+

Most jurisdictions alow having cars towed at owner's expense if illegally parked on private property. Tow companies know the rules so just ask them. As for calling police about parking violations,not good use of their time.

If I find a car parked in my yard or on our remote property and I have no idea who it belongs to, the first thing I'd do is call the police.

BR did. They shirked their responsibility which isn't surprising.

I had a car breakdown and I pulled into a large gravel lot at a farm with no house. I left note in car with my name and phone number that l was getting tools to repair it. An hour later I pulled up as they were calling tow truck to remove my car. They were very mad with me and had called sheriff

Once Upon A Time my lawn was like that. 2-3 concrete trucks poured a 24x30 slab for garage/shop with nothing more than bent grass. But since that time the soil has softened and I've nearly sunk street motorcycles in the trench they left.

Am thinking the correct solution will be some form of "Beware Of Dog" sign.
"Nuclear Contamination Zone" or "Live Fire Zone" might get you in trouble. But thats along the line of thought.
"Clothing Optional Beyond This Point" might attract more than it repels.

If they did all they're allowed to do, they didn't shirk any responsibility. I'm sensing some law enforcement hostility.

Here's what I would do if I lived near a park where concerts go on and/or people parking in my yard or property was problematic.
I'd made a few signs...nothing fancy...tin, wood, plastic about 2ft x 3ft. Nailed to a 2x4, sharp point. Write "NO PARKING TOWING ENFORCED".
Put them out when start seeing park lot filling up.
I guarantee if you call most towing companies "there is an abandoned vehicle on my property needs towed off" they would do it, charge owner, you don't pay anything.
Other thing is who owns the park? The city? I would contact top most person (mayor) explain what's going on...they can post signs on your behalf like "NO parking across street, etc." The city could also install permanent no parking signs along your side along road.
You got very lucky. No way would I mess with someone's car as you could be sued/fined, etc. If someone got injured, owner claim you damaged it, etc.
You could put a 2" pipe every 30ft, 3ft high with a chain or cable through it just over onto your property. Some people plant cypress trees every 10 ft.
