Quick charger occupied by another car that is done charging. Do you remove the plug and use it?

This happens way too often: Some car is left for hours occupying the quick charger after having finished charging, but there is a free parking space besides it and the cable can reach it.

I’m always tempted to just unplug the charged car and charge my own car (if the charger is not locked). I’m sure a lot of Karens would call the police and waste everyone’s time, but since I’m paying for my own charging (since theirs expired), would I be doing anything even remotely illegal or would the police just shrug it off as a private issue and ask me not to do it again?

Has anyone tried it? How was the other guy’s reaction?

Meanwhile I’m hoping the heavy idling fees similar to Teslas’ become a thing at every quick charger…
