Steve 1 - Clampers 0

Had something similar on my Baja. Some cretin clamped my car at 11pm in a friends work car park. New clamping contractor fancied making some easy money.

Easy.
 
5 stars,

I'm guessing the wishbone bolt is the one between the hub an wishbone as opposed to the bolts between the wishbone and subframe?

As i'm putting the wheel back on one of the officers comes over and asks if i could have a look at another car that's been clamped. Clampers are really impressed by this :) (Turns out a new company has taken over the car park and is now enforcing 24 clamping whereas previously the local residents were welcome to use the carpark over night, so they've clamped every car they could see!)

Jack the car up, wheel off and make a start on the wishbone. At this point an officer interupts and tells me the clampers are going to cancel this evenings clamps to save wasting everybodies time (they would have to wait around to retrieve the clamps incase some scamp chopped them up) This was quite helpful as this car was a Merc and the chain was around the ARB too and i had no chance getting the damn thing off :eek: They take the clamp of the Merc and a car parked at the far side of the carpark and then leave without saying goodbye.

Couple of snaps.

Ticket issued before she even arrived at the carpark!

Red lines show where i removed the two bolts that hold the inner edge of the wishbone, you can just see the wishbone hanging down behind the hub. This type (same design as the dvla clamps)doesn't just go around the wheel but it goes over the wishbone too.

David Copperfield has got nothing on me :D

If you see this pair of idiots around be sure to throw something at them, rotten fruit, faeces, molotov cocktails, etc

SIA??

To the OP - fantastic work. Although if the piocs of the clampers are those in the pic they seem on the "small" side compared to the ***** around here. They use intimidation to extort money.
 
I love it when stuff like this happens! Awesome story. So what is the bottom line with these guys, is being clamped anywhere actually illegal/unenforceable?
 
It was probably a totally "legit" clamp (as legit as these buggers get anyway), but i had the ability to remove the device without paying out. Not really sure what they could do now as the fee is for removing the clamp, which i've already done.
