Can the owner lock the car when parking illegally?

Legal analysis: the property can't lock the car, and the property lock the car is actually encroaching on property rights. Judging from the relevant laws and regulations, the property is a service industry, not a law enforcement department, and the property signed a service agreement with the owner. The property has no right to lock the car or take other compulsory measures. Locking the car violated the owner's property rights. If losses are caused to the owner, corresponding economic compensation should also be made. If the owner encroaches on the fire lane, the property can contact the owner to move the car or report it to the relevant department for handling, which is more reasonable and legal.
