If you sit in the car isn't it the case that they aren't allowed to move it anywhere?

Should have popped to the local DIY store and bought a cheapo angle grinder for £25 or so.
Would take about 40 seconds to cut through those weedy chains.

Say if you were to cut the chain, how could they prove it was you?
Sure its most likly to be you but anyone with access to that car park could have done it.

So what did the police do then? From what I've read of other peoples experiences, when someone has called the police regarding heavy handed clamper techniques, the police have been quick to state that it's a civil matter and they can't help.
Edit - See this thread for example.

So? I'd stick two up and smile at the same time. If they illegally clamped you like you say then they'd come out worse off in a court of law.Simon said:CCTV
Even if the clampers were still there like hawks you can still cut it off... If they touch you then its assault.

Unbelievable. So if you call the police it's a civil matter. If they call them you're in breach of the peace? Pathetic
Soldato
so let me get this straight, your saying you got clamped because your tax disk had fallen onto the floor of the car, even though its legally taxed AND in a private car park. Also because you parked in someone elses space, who apparantly complained?? what about the dude that parked in your space....forcing you to park else where?
Soldato
Well strictly speaking he Simon should have complained about the guy in his space and cleared it before parking elsewhere I suppose... Annoying though when half the carparks empty isn't it
Should have taken your wheel off. But as you said it's in your interest not to **** them off as you park there every day.

You should have removed the wheel to remove the clamp. If you can remove the clamp without damaging it, there's nothing they can do.
£165 or half an hour pulling a clamp off, I know which I'd rather do

So someone complained that you were parked in THEIR space and they clamped you so you COULDNT move your car?! How does that help anyone?? 
Sorry to hear about your situation mate, I probably would've done the same as you though just to avoid further hassle...
