I'm pretty sure the fine will be less than the cost of a new alloy and tyre.

mipor123 · 2012-09-20T17:48:40+00:00

why not just write "I have a spare"... ? does it become funnier with haz?

bigsz · 2012-09-20T17:21:39+00:00

Alternative solution.

Generotti21 · 2012-09-20T17:54:39+00:00

I think the haz instead of spelling it out takes away from how badass he is being

Suited_Aces · 2012-09-20T18:59:54+00:00

This series of pictures is actually in reverse. This guy puts the tire with the boot on AFTER he parks so that he doesn't get a ticket...

DUH

Non-driver here, wouldn't the police punish him somehow when they find out he removed the yellow thing himself?

boxxa · 2012-09-20T19:22:26+00:00

I actually have a friend that came out after a bar to find a boot on his car. He had another rim and did the same thing at 5am. He also had the police giving him light as the boot was put there by a private lot that the city gave authority to boot cars. Pretty awesome and a simple auto shop can bust the boot open.

thattaboychuk · 2012-09-20T19:50:35+00:00

I wanted to get my own boot for my university parking. Parking permit was $125/year whereas a boot was around $70 & would last four years.

On a side note, someone I know took off a boot and when they saw his car again they put 3 on.

GavinRC · 2012-09-20T17:58:34+00:00

dan10981 · 2012-09-20T17:57:13+00:00

When the police boot you, they take your license plate number. The fine for removing the boot is pretty high I thought.

howitzer1 · 2012-09-20T17:44:03+00:00

So...how did he undo the bolts?

UpTuck · 2012-09-20T20:26:10+00:00

I did this once in college I got a bill in the mail for a boot.

shabutaru118 · 2012-09-20T19:15:37+00:00

Fortunately the township/agency responsible for booting cars is responsible for any damage these boots do to car. I'de be pretty pissed if they scratched up my wheels with one of these things.

Wineagin · 2012-09-20T18:43:38+00:00

Do not do this. They take those boots very seriously, grand larceny seriously :(

td27 · 2012-09-20T18:28:12+00:00

Guys I bet he just put the wheel with the boot into the open trunk...

gthing · 2012-09-20T18:28:14+00:00

You know they write down the license plate of the cars they put boots on.

kesekimofo · 2012-09-20T19:02:53+00:00

Looks like a VW, and while they have the lug bolt built into lug nut type of deal, I still can't figure it out. Unless he sheared the bolts off and then extracted the others, even then. Why!?!

MrGiggleParty · 2012-09-20T19:07:53+00:00

That tire is almost too well placed in the second photo...

wsfarrell · 2012-09-20T19:09:53+00:00

I hope he haz a spare address too.

GrinningPariah · 2012-09-20T19:24:28+00:00

If you're just going to give no fucks like that why not keep a metal grinder in your trunk?

TheLastGuitarHero · 2012-09-20T19:29:32+00:00

This reminds me of that story where this gentleman was able to put his car into his garage with the boot on it. The cops were looking to see where the car was kept and the whole time the man with the boot kept in contact with them.

inb4 cool story bro

Single_Now · 2012-09-20T19:31:20+00:00

I hate to break it to you all but we are seeing the inside if the tire. Notice the boot goes through the wheel in the middle? His bolts were completely covered. My only rational is that this man is a wizard.

thatguysammo · 2012-09-20T19:33:42+00:00

What would be cheaper... paying the ticket, or paying for a new spare tyre? o.o

xPasas · 2012-09-20T19:37:16+00:00

OP, you misspelled "has."

diditforthelols · 2012-09-20T19:48:48+00:00

I mean I'm no cop...but I watch a lot of movies. Is this not the reason you use more than one of those tire lock thing whatevers. I'm pretty sure that would solve the whole "What if he haz a spare" dilemma.

you_been_mangoed · 2012-09-20T20:08:34+00:00

I heard of some local person (friend of a friend) who parked in a lot without paying every day and was always getting tickets. He just didn't pay the tickets, so a block was put on his tire.

His solution? He sawed it off, thew it in his trunk, and just kept doing what he was doing. xD So when he DID get caught, he wasn't only charged for the tickets... he was also charged for theft and vandalism.

Joco151515 · 2012-09-20T20:09:04+00:00

When I get booted I just abandon the car.

ahuggingkissingfiend · 2012-09-20T20:10:15+00:00

Bonus points: Find a parked police car, and replace the rear passenger side with the booted tire!

sweetgreggo · 2012-09-20T20:12:32+00:00

He still has to pay the fine.

Probably late to the thread for much discussion, but once in college I knew a guy who had taken up lockpicking for fun. One day he saw a car that had been booted and proceeded to steal the boot, good Samaritan style.

I can imagine how the phone call went:

Police: Do you want us to ever remove the boot?

Owner: What boot?

Police: We booted your car.

Owner: Yeah but I thought you removed it.

Police: Yeah right buddy. Are you saying some random person just decided to take the boot for you?

I wonder if the owner ever got in trouble.

iTimmeh · 2012-09-20T20:17:18+00:00

How did he get to the lugs?

Also, good job. Now they know who (they wrote your plate, car model, color etc down) you are and you'll just be fined even MORE.

JustLetMeComment · 2012-09-20T20:17:42+00:00

I thought those things covered the wheel nuts?

Levy_Wilson · 2012-09-20T20:20:54+00:00

These wheel clamps never made sense to me.

"This person parked illegally. Let's put on this contraption to make sure that can't move their vehicle at all."

cold_fire149 · 2012-09-20T20:22:06+00:00

I got cockblocked by a "boot" once. Saw this chick in college that I hadn't seen in a long time. We were laughing, I picked her up and swung her around while she squealed happily. She says, "I don't have a ride. Can you give me one back to my house? My parents aren't there." I said, "I'll be happy to." We walk back to my car, and I just know I'm about to score. Then BAM! Fuckin boot on my car.

DoctorJared · 2012-09-20T20:28:31+00:00

I bet it sucked when he realized the police had his vehicle information and he got a larger fine on top of having to buy a new wheel and tire

mariod505 · 2012-09-20T20:30:41+00:00

This does not kill the fine.

Unclemom · 2012-09-20T20:35:13+00:00

I never understood the logic of a boot. They are pissed you parked there and so they punish you by essentially forcing you to park there.

InlineSkate · 2012-09-20T20:37:48+00:00

Buys $200 tire and rim to avoid paying $50 ticket.

HonkyDonky · 2012-09-20T20:41:31+00:00

This picture is bullshit. You can clearly see the boot covering the lug holes on the front of the rim. Otherwise you would be able to see through the center of the rim.

topazsparrow · 2012-09-20T20:42:06+00:00

Just FYI, to avoid vandalism or theft charges, leave the boot with the wheel where you found it.

It's generally cheaper to pay the fines than pay for a new wheel & tire though.

ForcedToJoin · 2012-09-20T20:42:57+00:00

Wait...there's another use for spare tires?

leex0 · 2012-09-20T20:50:04+00:00

wut-wut · 2012-09-20T20:54:45+00:00

He should take the tire with the lock home and crack the lock so he doesn't have to get a new alloy rim and tire.

This happened to me once. I was driving a pickup and went to visit a buddy at his apartment. I parked in the parking lot that belonged to the apartment building and later that day when I left some private security firm had put a boot on my tire. I called the number they left on the "ticket" they put on my window and 15 minutes later some douche shows up in a busted ass Ford Taurus with cheap ass cop lights, and some bullshit uniform and tells me I have to pay a $60.00 fine to get the boot removed. I say no way and he says if I don't remove the car in 3 days he's having it towed, then he left. I pulled out my jack, changed my tire and went home. The next day I called this guy up and asked him to remove the boot, he says its going to cost $60.00. I told him if he doesn't remove the boot in 3 days I'm charging him $60.00 a day for storage and then a $75.00 disposal fee if I have to remove the boot myself. He tried being a smart ass at that point and said if I don't remove the car in 3 days he's having it towed. I then let him know I had already removed the car, at which point I think he kind of shit himself and said he would need to call me back. An hour later the owner of this shitty security place calls me up and tells me he's having charges pressed against me unless I return their equipment. I told him I had no problem returning the equipment, but I'm not paying any fines to have them remove it from my tire. He started screaming at me about stealing from him and how his "officers" were ex military and law enforcement professionals and that I was being disrespectful of them and not understanding how much trouble I was in. I told him I didn't think I was stealing since it was his employees that locked their equipment to my car and that there's no way that a pimply faced overweight 18 year old high school drop out that I already met was ex-military or law enforcement. He said he just wants his equipment back because it cost him a lot of money, so we set up a time to meet in the parking lot of a nearby grocery store. I go there with my brother at the agreed upon time because I had no idea who was showing up. We were parked at the very end of the lot in a large open area and all the sudden we got surrounded on all sides by about 5 of these busted ass Ford Tauruses and I think one old Mercury Sable, with matching lights and high school drop out "officers" reporting for intimidation. So the leader comes up to me, who was not the owner, and I ask him to remove the boot. He tells me its going to cost $60.00. I told him me and the owner already agreed to have the boot removed and that I wasn't paying any fine. This kid tells me that he didn't know anything about that and if I want the boot removed it'll cost $60.00. I said no way, so they all got in their cars and left. The next day I called the owner back up and asked him what the deal was. He said I need to pay $60.00. I said no way. He said he was having me arrested. I let him know that if he didn't remove the boot in 3 days I'm charging him $60.00 a day for storage and then a $75.00 disposal fee if I have to remove the boot myself. Hew said if I damage the boot then its vandalism. I said no way. He said he was calling the cops and hung up on me. 3 days later I went and bought an angle grinder from Harbor Freight for $15.00 and cut that shit off. I put my tire on my truck, and now almost 10 years later I still have that angle grinder, which surprises me because so much of Harbor Freights tools break rather quickly because their cheap.

tl;dr:

Same shit happened to me, but in the end I got a new power tool!

So was this in 1945 before they came up with boots that covered the wheel itself? I haven't ever seen a boot like that.

CokeCanNinja · 2012-09-20T23:04:17+00:00

The administrators will boot your car and fine you $25 dollars if you park in the teacher parking lot. One guy did anyway, so of course they booted his car. After school, he unlocks the toolbox in the bed of his pickup (rednecky area, half the people at school drive pickup trucks), pulls out a set of very large bolt cutters (probably about two feet long) and cuts right though the lock. Next he takes the boot, gets a padlock from his toolbox, and boots the parking lot enforcers car, and leaves!! The parking lot enforcer had to get a guy from maintenance to hacksaw through the lock, which took about half an hour. Needless to say, the guy who did it got suspended for two weeks, fined $50 to replace the lock, and wasn't allowed to drive to school.

TL;DR: Guys car gets booted, removes the boot, boots administrators car, gets suspended, can no longer drive to school.
