Am thinking of carrying a cordless grinder in my car in case it's clamped. Is anyone doing this! Where's the best place to buy one!

There's been lots of discussion on here about people being unfairly clamped!

How often does it happen that you need to carry a method of removing wheel clamps!Perhaps you would just be better looking at where you are parking.Just an idea.

you do realize you get charged with wilful damage and apparently those clamps are worth heaps

Maybe a grey area, you could charge them with interfering with your car! I know of a case where one of those cheap caliper clamps was used and the guy just changed the wheel. He took the old wheel with clamp still attached home and invited them to come and collect it. Some people said well done, while others said he could be charged with theft!

I my opinion, if something is attached to your vehicle, without your permission. it's yours! Remember when books were delivered when you didn't order them! You were allowed to keep them without payment. Whatchoo reckon!
I found my portable generator with a 9 inch angle grinder worked a treat! What impressed me the most was the small crowd of people who gathered to not only give me a hand but to assure me that ???no one saw anything???.I??

I love amateur legal opinions, the sense of right and wrong is always amusing.
What about "if someone's vehicle is parked on my property, without permission or payment, it's mine!"

Fine.
Let the owner of the property do the deed--NOT some snivelling, kerb-creeping, clamping snot.

are you suggesting that as there is a rugby park across the road I should consider this attitude - and start a used car yard
or is the suggestion more the attitude of the pinhead in the office who rings a clamping company to get them to come around and clamp a car - cos it's in my yard without paying so therefore I will claim it until payment is made

If you're parking on his property without getting permission or making payment, why SHOULDN'T he clamp you!
Is there unlimited free public parking on YOUR front lawn for anyone who wants it! I bet there isn't!

Quite simply because it doesn't relieve the problem they claim exists, being the presence of your vehicle. It makes it worse by them (theoretically) being unable to remove it.
It's fair enough if they have the vehicle removed. But they don't get to try and extort money from you by holding your car to ransom.

I should take a photo next Saturday then, not one of them will haver asked before parking, and I sure have no signs up saying free parking for all

no not worth it because when you want to use it the battery will be flat.

I had an employer who slashed tyres when he had unauthorised people parking in his carpark. The "payment" went to a tyre shop instead of a clamping company lol.
