Kirk Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Ok this has bin goin on for a while round here but enough is enough!!! 2 conning b@$tards have been clamping peoples cars and forcing them to pay £200 for removal, they have done it to a lot of people on my street and now they have just done it to me!!! Went out to the car and there it is sat there on my freshly refurbed wheels!!!! Luckily I carry my bolt cutters in the car incase of 'emergencys' and well they won't be expecting to see that on the side of the road tomorrow! Seriously the police are useless round here they do nothing about it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Are you saying that these people are illegally clamping cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Are they not a registered company that operates in a zone where there is parking restrictions? Or are you saying these people are just Joe Bloggs that have managed to purchase clamps and are clamping people just to make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see a picture of the mangled mess! Some guys tried that with the others car, i called a mate and we "picked" the car up with his crane onto the flat bed and drove off!!!

Something just does not make sense. As surely someone has challenged them on how authentic they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereabouts are these car jackings taking place Martin ? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 smash it off and dont give it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 smash it off and dont give it back That's theft! At least it is when the clamp is legal. If your car is clamped, you can remove the clamp but must take it to the police station as lost property. Job done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
