Two youths in Cannock, Staffs, have fire bombed a private wheel clampers BMW. They were charging up to £295 to get your car back. Police are looking for them, but hopefully they will................

hell if we're not allowed to firebomb them, it would at least be fun to clamp them!

In Birmingham last week, the Police clamped and then removed a wheel clampers van (complete with clamps) for having no insurance. The sergant that did it was on local radio, and boy, was he pleased with himself.

It's not just chavs though; everyone's sick of heavy handed speed and parking enforcement, to the point where people you might normally think of as "respectable" are resorting to drastic measures!

Problem is that ARSON is really a form of attempted murder and wheel clamping is extortion. It's not really tit for tat.

Phoning a clutch firm to come and take the clampers van away for 'repair' anonomosly might be more 'fair' so to speak.

£295 release fee.

Say he clamps just 20 per day (& that's conservative estimate), that's £5880 per day.
Assuming he works a full week, that's £41,160 per week.
Per year that generates £2,140,320.

This time next year Rodders we could be milwionaires - lubbly jubbly!

Wonder how much the license costs?

Arson is only property damage if there is noone inside. Its not like it was an empty house being firebombed here, You can clearly see when someone is not inside a car.

Extorting money with menaces vs Criminal damadge seems tif for tat to me, same goes for the cameras

actually, would that be a potential way to 'protest' against scameras? find some chavs of the scummier variety, and (anonomously) pay them a certain amount for each scamera they trash? give them a cheap disposable camera to prove how many they destroy? from the sound of things they're a lot less likely to be prosecuted than 'more respectable' folk, and probably out for some quick cash.

or would it be a bit to close to hard work for them, actually earning something?

Read this entertaining tale of some clampers who clamped the wrong car...
