Default OT - Parking scam at Lidl

As I have posted previously this is where *clampers* get away with it,
as there are only two ways to get the clamp removed lawfully. Either
stump up. Or start a civil action requiring them to remove it. Until
somebody with deep pockets (and two cars :-) ) takes the latter route,
you are stuck with the former.

Of course you *could* angle grind the clamp off (which would be
criminal damage) and invite the clampers to sue you for the cost.
However, mysteriously, even though there are many cases of people
doing this, no clamping firm has tried it.


3 ways: learn to pick locks and remove the clamp without damage.
