Default Giving a boot the "boot"

I'm about one parking ticket away from getting one of these things put on my car, but now I know how to get around it thanks to this guy...scroll halfway down the page for story and pix.

i like how he thinks hes all sneaky when he says "they wont know its me" and all this shit. well yeah, sure...not until they call your license plate into the DMV and get your name. haha, im sure he'll be singing a different tune when some retarded ticket comes in the mail or a cop shows up to his house, haha. it was pretty funny that he took the damn wheel off though, haha.

My friend removed a boot from his car in Bean-town a few years back, by deflating the tire, and driving off...he got a ticket in the mail a few months later for about 5 times the amount of the original sitation. So be warned...it's not fool proof...in the states anyway.

He did, and it sat in his apartment under the coffee table for months...I don't recall what happened to it though.

hahaha. I'm sure a hefty fine followed when the po-po discovered their boot was missing.
