Angle Grinder Man v Clamped Car

[Wasted Bullet]

Angle Grinder Man releases clamped cars for free

A man dressed in a Superman-style costume is roaming the streets of London freeing wheel-clamped cars with an angle grinder.

The caped individual, who calls himself Angle Grinder Man is already said to have freed a dozen vehicles in the south east of the city.

He doesn't charge for the service, although drivers clamped still have to pay the parking fine.

He's bought himself a £120 grinder and set up the Angle Grinder Man website which even has a call out number for clamped drivers.

"I got so angry, I went to a hire shop, got an angle grinder and sawed the clamp off. People were standing around cheering me - it was fantastic. Before I returned the tool, I took a picture of myself with the wheel clamp and stuck it in my car window with a note saying, 'Don't clamp me - I have an extremely sensitive nature'".

It's illegal to remove a clamp, but the crusader said he's the only one breaking the law. "I'm the one taking the risk. But I don't mind - it's a public service. And I like wearing the costume," he added.

But police say he faces arrest: "Cutting a clamp free is criminal damage," said a spokesman.

AngleGrinderMan made an appearance on Sky News last night. Was quite entertaining.

Said that if public opinion warranted it he might move on to Gatsos

Whilst I would not go out and do what he is doing because I do not think it is right. I also do not think it is right to persecute motorists to the extent they have been in recent times.

Given the choice of the two wrongs, I would rather give my money towards his Angle Grinder blades than to the local authorities who are robbing us blind.
