A series of photos show the man hiding behind wheelie bins and a fence on a busy retail park in Canterbury, Kent.
Residents from the city have now taken to Facebook to warn other drivers about the devious tactics.
Adam Sampson, from Canterbury, posted on the Canterbury Residents Group facebook page: "Fellow residents. Anyone using the car park on Simmonds Road in Wincheap please take note.
"The chap enforcing the parking restrictions in the car park at Bamboo Tiger and Carpet Right has taken to hiding in the hope more people park there and wander off site.
The warden in question is thought to work for a parking contract company
"The car park is only for people using the buildings within it, step off site and you're eligible for a parking ticket.
He often hides down the side watching and only coming out to issue a ticket
"He often hides down the side watching and only coming out to issue a ticket. You have been warned and please share."
Along with his post, Mr Sampson posted pictures of the man standing behind the fence.
His claims were backed by business owner Darren Clark, who uploaded stills from his CCTV cameras to the same Facebook page which show a warden, believed to be the same one, crouching near bins.
