Default Creative DIY Tips Needed For Dealing With Conman Car Clamper

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?

If the police genuinely refuse to act on cases of obvious fraud, ask your MP
to take it up with the Home Office. That's the sort of thing he is paid to
do. Or you could go straight to the Police Complaints Commission (or
whatever they are called).

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.

I'd favour four wheelclamps (with an optional notice on each reminding

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

That's the one.

Squirt some water into the exhaust then cut the top and bottom off a
tube of expanding foam adhesive and ram it in. You will need five
minutes or so for the effect to initiate. Half an hour would be best.
Repeat as necessary.

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.

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.

Those of us of a certain age will remember the Jennings book where a
potato rammed up the exhaust has the same effect.

If that is true, why is the media not all over it - and I mean national

Is Haworth the location used for the school trip on Rita, Sue and
Bob Too?

It's not DIY I just want a threesome with two 16 year old
schoolgirls.


suspect by now you would need a particularly vivid imagination....


I turned the 14 year old down last year. I suspect that I would have got 5
years or worse from the family (she was a traveller)

Troll surely. There is no way the police ar enot taking action after
that...

In one case the police at least started down the road of interfering with
police performing their duty (or whatever the phrasing is). Can't remember
outcome.

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?


I don't understand why your local TSO isn't interested in the last item.

It is very much their remit to check that automatic machines function as
advertised and not at all difficult for them to do.

Pity this lady's aim wasn't too good.....

Wonder what would have happened if she locked herself in his van until
he released the parking clamp?..

Afraid not. It was in the national press a few years back after he
clamped Betty Boothroyd. Have a Google for "clamper Haworth Boothroyd"
or something similar.

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....php?t=1628325

It seems he also has stooges giving people tickets valid until
midnight, then clamping them because the tickets are not
transferable.

The fact is that it is a civil contract, he can legally only claim
his losses if the parker is in breach of the contract and he cannot
impose penalty charges.
I'd have thought by now that some enterprising person could have
established a no-win, no-fee litigation service taking batches of
these frauds through the county court for a small fee.

Somebody in the comments section was being a racist ******, but he
missed the entire point.

Do what they do in France - fill the locks on the clamps with superglue
- then got to town on him when they can't undo the clamp.

Is this a private car park with a pay-n-display board that looks

That's the one.

Squirt some water into the exhaust then cut the top and bottom off a
tube of expanding foam adhesive and ram it in. You will need five
minutes or so for the effect to initiate. Half an hour would be best.
Repeat as necessary.


Those of us of a certain age will remember the Jennings book where a
potato rammed up the exhaust has the same effect.


Much cheaper than a tube of expanding foam,
and safer to use!

Nice stuff, had a test tube with rather a lot in in a locker, opened the
door one day to find it had changed state and the inside of the locker
was an interesting yellowish brown colour. Glad I wasn't around when it
did it...............

In the north of England?

It would never dry out enough to be effective (although wet or dry, it
becomes unstable after a few days and go off when it feels like it)
