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

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.

This seems excellent. One of his ploys is to tell victims as soon as
they discover the clamp that he has now got a vehicle coming to tow
them away costing a further £150. People are so scared that they pay
on the spot. People are towed away but I don't know if this is an
entire car lift!

If one places objects in the car that could be damaged if moved, maybe
that too could add to his costs. I also wondered if loads of cars
turned up at the car park and simply drove around in circles, just
what he would be able to do about that!

He recently fleeced a dutch tourist by taking ALL her foregin curreny
(Euros) amounting to about £300, afterwards claiming that his thugs
did not know the exchange rate. A local councillor got the crook to
return it, but STILL the police did nothing. I read that the law on
Fraud has changed recently. It certainly seems that in the case I
mention, that there is fraud involved. I would dearly love to win the
lotttery now, simply so I could take this evil lowlife through every
stage of legal persecution.
