A vile Yorkshire clamper called Ted Evans has stepped up his efforts
to trick people out of hundreds of pounds, by clamping their cars in
the village of Haworth. The police say they will not get involved
except to protect Evans from the public. Can anyone think of some
imaginitive ways of turning the tables on this villain with devices,
gadgets or solutions? He has gone on a clamping frenzy now, as the
law will change next year and it will become illegal for him to clamp
cars in England.

He uses every trick in the book to confuse people, including using
parking spaces that are too small to get a car into, and a ticket
machine which gives out incorrectly timed tickets - yes, it's fraud,
yet still the police won't act for some reason?

Private land or public roadway? If private, who owns it? If public, what do
the parking restrictions say?

I'm surprised the men of the village haven't turned out with baseball bats
if it's that persistent.

If it is clear cut fraud, I think I'd think about cutting or freezing them
off and leaving the bits in a big pile until he gets bored with buying
clamps.

If you want a legal approach, get a few people together, share the cost to
go to a solicitor and take an injunction out against him and enquire about
suing for "trespass of the goods" or anything else the laywer can think of.
Hint: you want a tenacious lawyer, not someone who does 99% conveyancing and
wills.
