"Where there is a way, there is a will", ( I know I got that backwards)

Desperation is the mother of invention.......

Too funny.

Excellent.

If the tire was good, I would have taken it along. Then found a cutting torch.

I remember a story about a guy who chained his fancy little sports car to a tree in the front yard in a sketchy neighborhood. When he got up the next morning his car had been switched end for end and there was a note on the windshield that said "when we want your car we'll come and get it"

I like, it, especially if they'd take the boot. That'll teach them about that nonsense.

Seems like booting cars for profit is becoming a thing.

SALT LAKE CITY — A string of complaints has prompted the Better Business Bureau to warn consumers about a local company called Parking Solutions. Several people claim they have had their cars booted in the lot next to Zupas and Jamba Juice near 600 East and 400 South.

“He raced up there and blocked my car horizontally with his car and then he took a boot out and booted my car,” said Jennifer Davis of Salt Lake City.

Davis said she was bringing her son home from the hospital on June 13 when they stopped at Jamba Juice. She bought a drink for her son, then walked over to Jimmy John’s. Jimmy John’s has its own parking lot, divided by signs warning customers to not park in the other lot to reach the restaurant.

She knew she was using the wrong parking lot to reach Jimmy John’s, but believed because she had spent money in Jamba Juice she was OK to leave her car there with her son inside for a few minutes. Her car got booted, and when she went to pay for its removal, the worker told her he could only take cash or debit cards.

According to Utah law, "a vehicle immobilizer shall accept payment by cash and debit or credit card for the removal of a vehicle immobilization device."

“I think I shook for two days,” 81-year-old Violet Wilson said to BBB. She says a Parking Solutions employee called her a criminal before demanding cash or debit to remove a boot in the same lot recently. “He kept repeating that I was a criminal, and criminals deserve to pay.”

Had a friend (circa 1965) who got booted at school. That boy had a torch. The boot is at the bottom of the Botany Pond unless someone has moved it.

That will teach them

How does it work, they are private companies not enforcing any law.
BUT
They have vehicle tag info.
Do anything to the boot device and it is likely a violation of law.

Seems to be on the edge of "law" in a few places?
Just wondering

What's really funny is someone actually went to Jimmy Johns! Crappy food at those alleged deli's!

Co-worker fixing phone lines at a store had his work truck booted. He left his truck to walk to the end of the block to check a telephone connection point. The company who booted the car refused to take it off. He proceeded to tell the owner of the business, he'd take down the rest of his lines too if the boot wasn't removed. Boot was off quickly.

LMAO....

Necessity is once again the father of invention.

In the OPs pic they didnt mess with the boot, just removed their vehicle from it! Funny as heck!

No way I would have left the tire.

Way back my friend had a jacked up F250 set up for mudding. FSU ordered a special boot to fit his truck and booted it one morning. We came out of class and there it was. He shrugged and got in and we drove home. Plenty of clearance for the boot . He got a phone call asking nicely for their boot back. It was wrecked from being driven on and we had already used the blue wrench to cut it off.

All ya gotta do is be nice.

I about had a boot put on my car for past due tickets when I was a student at Iowa U.

The guy putting it on loaned me the money to pay the tickets and I paid him back the next day. Neither of us knew the other from Adam.
