A Kent Police spokeswoman said no complaint about wheel clamps being cut off had been made by either a clamping firm or a member of the public.

either he isn't very good at cutting the boots off, or he is extremely stealthy...

I saw something similar this weekend while housesitting... I just chalked it up to the fact that Halloween is coming up (SF Queens love their Halloween... they like to dress up almost as much as the British)...

[reverendflash]

true, but don't you think the owner of the clamp might b1tch just a bit?

You would imagine they might have an issue with it. :)

Maybe they just can't be bothered? Though these companies are usually full to the brim of jobsworth's... :)

[reverendflash]

I'd be willing to bet that if one clamp was cut, the company, plus a do-gooder from the public, would call the coppers...

then again, if the policy was the same in the US, everyone would carry around angle grinders in their cars just for this reason...

I wonder if he has his own theme song... or catchy slogan...
you know... Mighty Mouse had the: "Here I come to save the day"...
I can just imagine:
It's a dark and cold night, and the attractive woman is walking to her car, and GASP! What's that on her wheel?! It's a CLAMP! NO! And out of the darkness, a heavily mastachioed police man laughes maniacally, while stalking towards his victim, who wails into the night sky: "Someone please help!!"
Suddenly, a heroic fanfare echoes through the street (duh duh DUUUH!), and a costumed avenger, protector of the people swoops out of the night, and yells: "When you get in a Bind, just call on the Grind!", and with one fierce kick, knocks the police man across the street, and into a wall. Defeated, the villian slinks back into the darkness ("Curse you, Angle-Grind Man!") And the rescued damsel plants a wet kiss on her heroes cheek, as he expertly cuts the clamp off her car. "All in a nights' work, ma'am", and without another word, he takes off into the night.
The woman sighs, and little hearts appear floating around her head, and the night is safe once again for the illegally parked commuters.

then again, they shouldn't have been parked there in the first place :)

[Kitiara]

I wonder what the guy's answer machine must be like? :P

"Hello? I've parked my car on a pedestrian crossing, and some utter muppet has clamped it for no reason..."

[SureShot]

It's been said before, and I'll say it again...

"Your crazy brits..."
