If only more would do that!(not the super glue!!)
Im guilty of using "empty" berths!Though i always know that it will be empty for a few days.Mostly from the port capitain
Going off for a week is very odd?In France his boat would have had the lock cut off or power ground off & moved to the debt section.
As one of a few that do use others mooring's you should always be aboard or not away for to long an hour or two or at a cafe overlooking or within site of the place. I leave a portable phone number easily visable in the cockpit.
So far touch wood,never a problem,once a boat did arrive was given the place i had by the capitanery,but the capitain knew which cafe i was in and came along himself to tell me to i had to anchor before the german had left the visitors pontoon
Its a hard life today!
Im sorry to be leaving this forum ill post on the liveaboard in a moment i just cant stand the "slattery" posts i expect ill be back eventually though

Are you around Marseilles at the moment? We will be heading up that way via Barcelona, leaving Almerimar in the next ten days or so.

Now that is a most reasonable suggestion. Jaw jaw not war war. Cheers Winston.

Being kind he might have had a bit of engine trouble? - probably not though, just assumed it would stay empty.....IMO a week and also not telling the Marina (and giving them a key) is taking the p#ss.
Tricky one when it is neighbours - I would have a polite chat with him to find out what the "problem" was and point out the inconveniance caused.....if he is an a#sehole, buy some bolt cutters.

Thanks for all your answers!
It really helps me to deall with a situation like this.
My first thought was also the bolt cutter / super glue / chain and padlock solution, but this would mean that I woud do something thta I don't want other people to do to me so this would not be right.
I will have a chat with him and try to stay calm and polite (although I know that it will not be easy for me).
Again, many thanks. I started thinking that I was overreacting, but most of you seem to agree.
