	Had a read through, and there are lots of 'ideas' but nothing in stone. Just gotta watch out for clear signage where ever i park and be careful. Still gonna get some cutters though! cheers fellas

I'm liking that taking pictures part, i could just take pics at various stages in removal with no one in the pic and just say ''it seemed to remove itself'' :lol:

	Was clamped last week, and had no option but to pay, so am thinking about buying some bolt cutters for next time. It was tied round one of the springs so couldn't roll the wheel out or remove the wheel, so would have to cut either the padlock, or the chain. What are the legalities of removing clamps eg criminal damage etc? How can you remove it without being prosecuted? cheers
