I mean… depends on how long you are looking to keep them in. Assuming the community is half way wealthy (which, kind of is normal), then cops and tow trucks would be pretty quick to respond, and well, blocking it with cars etc… would seem prohibitively expensive and legally troublesome (as there’s no way in hell it’s not getting traced to you).
I’d agree with the concept, sabatoging the gate mechanism with a chain, or vandalizing the electronics would likely accomplish a similar goal, without abandoning an expensive vehicle that is easy to trace back to you. (which again, even in the best of scenarios is likely only inconveniencing the residents for a few hours).
I don’t think it even requires the police, in most US states, the law basically says that assuming the gated community has a “unauthorized vehicles will be towed at owners expense” sign somewhere, then the owners of the gated community don’t need police approval, they can call a towing company directly and have the cars removed, only needing to inform the police afterwards.

Unless OP is imagining a period in which police have much more pressing concerns than who’s piling cars up against a rich people neighbourhood.
