After finding a boot clamped to the wheel of his car for not paying his parking tickets, a driver managed to remove the entire wheel from the car, put a spare tire in its place, and leave the old tire and wheel with the boot still attached in the parking space. Lemcke said most vehicle clamps are tamperproof, but a few are more vulnerable.
“It doesn’t get him out of paying his fines,” Lemcke said. “His tire and his wheel are worth more than the parking fines.”
