Advice needed - delicate situation

My parents are good folk, salt of the earth types. Last year, they heard that the family that lives next door had gotten in financial difficulty due to the husband's gambling, boozing and whoring.
My old man decided to help them, but knowing that they are proud people and wouldn't accept hand outs, offered to buy their parking space at the front of the house for a more than reasonable price as we need it.
They agreed and everyone was happy.

However, now their snivelling, wretched, toerag of a son has moved back in with them. They obviously don't want to tell him about their former problems and hence why he can't park in front of his house. We don't want to tell him. He was around yesterday, but we fobbed him off. I have a feeling he'll be back, all bravado and solicitor's letters.

What can we do?

Simply explain that permission was sought and gained from those that have the property rights.
If he has a dispute with the use of the land, take it up with those that own it!

Thats what it boils down to and it puts the ball back in their court - to sort out their son and the mess created.

They don't have to explain why they sold the space to the son. Simply that they sold it for extra cash. None of his business. Keep parking there and tell him to take it up with his folks if he has a problem.

Edit: Oh dammit. Stick it up yer hole.
