For the last week we have been watching Glasgow City Council lift cars from our office windows and it seems they have a pattern they like to go for which involves picking the newest most expensive cars first then hitting the normal stuff.

Based on a chat we were having in the office and after to much time arguing if it would be legal does anyone know what would happen if you left your car and undid all bolts apart from a single one which would hold the wheel in position when stationary.You would also have a note on the window saying do not lift etc The hiabs seem to use scooping mechanisms which make it very quick to lift the car but I would also think would create enough pressure to snap the last bolt and make the car fall to the ground.

In the case of it working who would be to blame and would the owner get into serious trouble? You will not only be solving an office argument here but I'm sure someone in the office has an old car and a gopro wink
