A vile Yorkshire clamper called Ted Evans has stepped up his efforts

imaginitive ways of turning the tables on this villain with devices,

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?


I presume he doesn't have a truck with which to lift a car and take it
to a pound?

I'd favour four wheelclamps (with an optional notice on each reminding
that interfering with same is criminal damage) and one of those nice,
in-car video cams. Park the car somewhere that will really p!$$ him
off. Either he'll leave it alone or be filmed doing something the
police _can't avoid_ nicking him for.


When the cops don't bother with a crook like that it indicates he is
in league with them over soemthing such as informing and having a
comfortable new identity that needs protecting, it being a problem for
the police to upset that.

Either that or they know he will intimidate witnesses and thus it will
prove a costly waste of time for them to prosecute.
