Parking in lot of places here in So Cal is miserable. There was a whole slew of people that last few years getting handicapped placards and clearly not needing them, at least for mobility sake. There has been such blatant fraud the last few years that they actually created a group dedicated to going around and fining people that abuse the handicapped spaces. Not sure how it would get enforced in a practical sense, but it was a big uproar here a few years ago.
The people that really drive me nuts are the people that purposely take up a couple of spots just so that their car doesn't potentially get dinged up in the parking lot.
LOL, you wanna talk about wanting to stomp someone's guts out when you see this. I kid of course, but not by much.

lol I saw a car like that recently, parked on the street, in the middle of two spots - someone left a note on their windscreen saying "Nice parking, d.ickhead" lol

They are lucky that's all they did, I've heard stories of people keying the hell out of someone's car when they park like that. Parking gets ugly here, like I said.
We're a good chunk away from LA where we live, but you get close to the Westside and Santa Monica areas, hell, people have been shanked for a parking space. LOL.
I agree, you can't always tell - but running up stairs does suggest the person doesn't need that spot.
It's all about avoiding door dings from the car on the other side. The accessible spots are usually 48" wider than a normal spot. If I park next to one, I usually get as close to the white line on that side as possible with my tires on the white stripe.
I interpreted "running up the stairs" as hyperbole. I kind of assume someone so lazy that they scam a handicap parking pass rather than walk across the parking lot is going to take the elevator.

Cue the Kathy Bates parking lot scene in Fried Green Tomatoes.

Keying a car...That's terrible.
Stabbed over a parking space? I thought the Westside was the good part of town, albeit I'm not too familiar with LA.

It just came up in conversation the other night, that people take up two spaces to keep from getting their car dinged, but, by doing that, you just might be inviting even more trouble, like a car-keying, which is really messed up, of course.
On a side note, recently, while our car was parked at the grocery store (in one parking spot), we were car-gummed; a big, juicy wad of gum on the hood.
