I lost a couple hours of my life reading through that last night, but it was entertaining. The guy is sticking it to them and hasn't done anything illegal.

From a parking enforcement standpoint, the success of the boot is predicated on the notion that you will pay to have it removed because you really need to use your vehicle and can't move it otherwise. However, if the guy doesn't need his car badly enough, and is capable of moving it, then all the company has done is come onto private property where he was legally parked and donated their property to him by attaching it to something he owns. He hasn't damaged it, and he hasn't stolen it as the company is free to take it back at any time. If it was in my garage, I would notify the company that I have their property, by recorded phone message, email, and certified mail, and start charging a storage fee after 48 hours. Once sufficient time has passed that it can be considered abandoned under local laws, there's no reason he couldn't attempt to recover part of his storage fees by selling it for scrap. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
