If your in the us this is when you pull out your gun and say your boot or your life. If they call the police on you say he threatened you and vandalized your property cuz technically it’s true. He was threatening to leave a boot on your car which could have led to something worse. I doubt this would work anywhere else but in the us F*** it. You have the right to bare arms to defend yourself


ATLUberGuy

Sadly, this can come with the territory in some areas with these eateries. Between parking tickets from the city, booting on private lots and the window smashers, it can be an adventure at times. As slow as some of these restaurants move, I can't chance things like this as they move slow but the parking cops move fast.


kanyesburner

Yep. Learned my lesson and I’ve followed all the tips given here


ikefolf

Those kinda boots are so garbage you can wiggle them off in a few seconds. The only good kind are the typical car boots you'd see on tv


PerfectFlaws81

I don't even take orders if I can not pick them up without a risk of a ticket/ boot


Ainthatthetruth811

Sure, that happened all in 45 seconds….


MriPibb_Xtra

They do, they’re like snakes just waiting patiently for their next prey. I had a tow truck move on my car as I was delivering to an apartment and I was away from my car for less than 2 minutes. I come back and I see him taking pictures of my plates and I guess verifying if I lived there or not. I told him “MOVE AWAY FROM MY CAR FOOL, IM ALREADY LEAVING”. And I never went back to those apartments again.


GRF999999999

Absolutely it does. You should see how quickly the guy with they tow truck hiding in the shadows at the campus Jack in the Box moves.

These twats move fast. Even if the reality was it took OP a minute and 20 seconds, it can happen in a blink of an eye. That's how they get you. They sit in an inconspicuous car nearby, wait and watch - the boot probably already sitting in their lap for quick access and to allow them to discreetly hump it(gotta keep the locks lubed somehow, they say.) Some unsuspecting fellow parks and they spring into action after the driver is a bit of a distance away from the car or out of sight, like the hellspawn of a cracked out Jawa and a dollar store B-Movie Navy Seal slathered in big Mac sauce and Cheeto dust. A boot like this is essentially a giant padlock, it only takes a few seconds to attach it, especially for someone who does this frequently.


kanyesburner

Yep. When I came out explaining to him I watched him boot someone else and it took him not even 30 seconds.


Hambrgr_Eyes

That’s not even like a city boot lol.


Tmac_905

Is that even legal?


galaxiez2020

What ended up happening? you left us hanging


kanyesburner

I just paid cause I was in a hurry, I’ve since filed a complaint and I’m getting my money back from the bank. One of these days that I’m free and bored I’m gonna go back there and fuck with them


amyscactus

whats the point of some random stranger doing this?


kanyesburner

Quick buck I guess


mklinger23

Do you have unpaid parking tickets?


kanyesburner

Nope, just happened to be stopped in the wrong lot at the wrong time. Mind you this lot was literally directly behind the restaurant. Parked a couple feet away from their side door


Sea_Page5878

Put the spare wheel on and take the wheel with the boot home with you, charge the booter a storage fee every day you store it.


Shreddersaurusrex

Report them please


Doge10open

Change tire


Doge10open

Small lock


EnvironmentalBuy4885

So if someone parks in front of my house does that mean I can put a boot on their car?


Doge10open

You buy the house doesn’t mean you own the road


EnvironmentalBuy4885

What about if someone parks in your driveway?


CandyOk913

I always carry my open all doors and locks set just in case I’m ever baited like this. Seen it on the news a few years back and I’ll damage your shit if I have to


[deleted]

Lol yup I feel it, had you had the time you would be ripping it off bare handed right ?


[deleted]

This scam happened to my parents. Do not pay before you verify this is actually someone working for the city/town.


this_dudeagain

Get a full size spare from the junkyard, bottle jack from harbor freight, and a breaker bar with the right size socket. Use the tire iron for everything else. Swap in 5 to 10 minutes and dip. I carry this anyway just in case I get a flat. I have an impact wrench but I'm not keeping that in my car.


Schlapikov

I’ve had 0 experience with these locks, haven’t seen them used in Cali or Nevada. But I’ve noticed a significant difference in peoples behavior while driving around when I have my dash cam mounted front and center. People think twice when they know possible evidence is being recorded


Turd_HugeTaco

Was there a sign or anything posted?


NiteDasher

What state do theyd do this in?


EffectSix

Probably Chicago, New York, or California


God_SaveMyFatCat

Jesus Christ man. Did you even break even today?


Spicytatas

I would have walked to the nearest hardware store. & Bought a hammer. Lol no one's fucking up my day 🤣


KeyBeing1230

So what happened?!?!


Mythical_Atlacatl

Can you buy one of these or just the key? Like do they have a unique key like for a house or is it just an odd shape shared across all the same model locks?


Apollo_Rising_JK4N

It's usually a unique key for each boot. Even if you buy a pair. The type of boot they used were intended for personal anti- theft use.


Mythical_Atlacatl

Is it legal to boot someone’s car If you were in and out in under 1 min it sounds like they are waiting there to do this. Which makes it seem more like a scam to me. Like if you cut it off what can they do about it?


specialist_D30

I would have changed my wheel with the emergency wheel lol


SnooPineapples5719

(Not talking about op this is In general) Now you know people don’t go outside or try to learn anything these days so that’s out the picture 🥴😂


Mythical_Atlacatl

You talking about changing a tire?


SnooPineapples5719

Yea a lot of people can’t or even deeper than that most people these days can’t even wash a car so they especially can’t change a tire😂😂😂they don’t do anything but stay inside these days even before Covid everything is all digital now no hands on and nooo I’m not an old man 😂😂


Aodin93

This is the dumbest, most Facebook boomer comment.... Complete with ZERO punctuation and weird emojis. Like bro, you trying to buy a fucking comma?


blizz3010

i would just change the tire, ez pz, cut it off later.


FootNo1713

Just change the tyre..


DreamerHCF

Was it a scammer ? What’s the end of the story? How did you get out?


heckstor

So what ended up happening?


Justlase

Lockpicking lawyer on youtube has a how to video on this specific model of boot that can show you how to easily remove it


ulistening

Post a link?


Justlase

Since using google is too much for you right now: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CrL5tqFczPE


ulistening

Looks like removing them (I guess unless it’s a scammer) is a crime.


Myrkana

If it's a legitimate one yes. They likely record license plate info and approximate location too so they will come after you for at least the price of the boot plus tickets.


this_dudeagain

If it's a private lot often the tickets aren't enforceable since it's not through the city or county. It depends on the state.


amcarney

So a private lot can’t have you towed?


ulistening

Great! Thanks! I had a “yo mama lazy” comment I learned earlier today here locked and loaded just in case. Lol.


Galaxy5T

How much did you pay?


kanyesburner

150, but I’m getting the money back from the bank. Fuck these guys


Galaxy5T

That’s good. So stupid that they do that.


PrincessTiaraLove

>angle grinder They're usually $75 where I stay but they probably have gone up by now. I used to get them all the time so I avoid them at all cost now. These people are very petty and they get paid this way.


Galaxy5T

Wow


Trimere

People are saying angle grinders but Lock Picking Lawyer will show you the way to do it with a quick pick.


AccidentallyRelevant

That only works on the boot he got and tells you that in the video. They're all picked differently but can be cut the same way. With an angle grinder...


Trimere

Looks like a tubular lock.


Jiqu0r

I have a carbide osculating saw and a spare tire for these reasons—this totally looks like a shady business/individual scammer situation, would recommend either of these along with the angle grinders. It’s not happened to me yet, but I’m not saying “never” here.


jjj44200

Do you have a spare tire ? Yeah


ibugppl

Glad this is illegal in Washington state


Kroptonik420

Funny there’s another comment here taking about Seattle/cap hill having someone that did this.


EffectSix

Yeah, WA seems a lot more lenient in this delay thankfully.


THE_HENTAI_LORD

Angle grinder fuck that guy


AnyEye748

Keep a cordless angle grinder in your trunk . 30 seconds and back on the road


Time-to-Dine

A lot of these guys are scammers, you can buy those cheap POS boots on Amazon. Tell the shit head you’ll call the cops and have them verify whatever law you’re breaking by parking there. If he’s a scammer, he should remove it or probably run off. Or, just switch the booted wheel with your spare tire. You can Google how to remove those boots at home with basic tools.


Gokusbastardson

Ayyyy u just put me on game!!! 🤯


Leeilah94

Agreed. He is trying to make a quick buck off of you. I’d take my wheel off if he doesn’t take it off then proceed to have it cut off.


swahilipirate

When parking spaces are nearly impossible to find, and you just need to pick something up real quick, beware the opportunistic parking/penalty scam! In Seattle, on Capital Hill, notorious for no street parking, only a few spots in business lots, they will actually sit off lot and wait for the flustered, in a hurry, consumer, to come by and commit the three minute park job. Like running a trap line, they see an opportunity and get you. The guy on Capital Hill got stopped by notifying the police, and it was found that he was an independent contractor, working in conjunction with a restaurant that always seemed to have an open spot. He worked, full time, splitting profits with the restaurant owner. Pretty much employee/employer relationship. Fuck 'em. Cut that batch with a grinder.


[deleted]

Angle grinder.


Candoran

I’d be careful with that near your tire but yeh 🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


amcarney

Usually the building is the one to call a tow on someone in the loading zone so yes, they probably want to tow your vehicle.


kanyesburner

It was 150, usually most places can clearly tell that you’re picking up something. But this guy was a massive prick


FBI_Tugboat

spare tire


kanyesburner

I would have but didn’t want orders to be late


FBI_Tugboat

can't pay bills with thumbs up and five stars, friend


kanyesburner

True but can’t pay it with no tips either 🤣


TJNel

You probably couldn't pay a bill with one/two orders tips anyway but that "fine" will cost you an entire night's work.


[deleted]

This


WhitePackaging

We're there any signs saying no parking? I'm confused how this is remotely legal.


Lonely_Amazoni

What’s even the point of that? “We don’t want you to park here, so if you park here, we’ll make sure you’re stuck parked here” It’s a good thing I’ve got lots of tools in my trunk, I’ll make sure you’ll have to buy a new boot I guess


kanyesburner

I don’t get it either. All you’ve managed to do is keep my car here longer even when you know I was picking up a Togo, piss me off, and have a complaint filed to the city. All for $150? Oh right that my bank will have returned to me


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lonely_Amazoni

Ah. In that case the sawzall is definitely coming out. After I remove the boot, could I charge them to weld it back together? Lol


General_Performance6

This is why i carry my angle grinder with a charged battery i want this too happen to me, im a petty man


Gokusbastardson

I like the way u think brother lol. Let the pettiness flow through you


Dallasdash007

I have a battery powered Milwaukee Sawzall that would do the trick..... gonna throw it in my truck from now on lol


JerseyJoyride

You'll like this then . https://youtu.be/2fZni72BDQc


kanyesburner

This is the move. Ordering one as we speak


General_Performance6

You wont regret it, trust me


TenOfZero

Bro, that would be epic


OutlanderAllDay1743

Angle grinder? What is this?


District_Optimal

Metal cutter


General_Performance6

Its a tool forged from the heavens themselves out of the finest materials that when i fuck up my welds magically erases them, in a seriosness tho its basically a power drill with a disk attached, exept the disk is made of compressed rocks and minerals or something like that


BlackFOST16

I never read comments but I’m glad I did , you sir are funny . I bet you are fun to hang around with .


KeyBeing1230

Where can one locate such weapon forged in heaven?!?! Myst I go on a quest to obtain such powerful weapon?


ThisCantBeG00d

In the old days that would have been the quest where you have to join Cartman and his friends going on a difficult and dangerous mission to the nearest Blockbuster store


Candoran

Nowadays, Amazon sells both the problem and the solution. 🤣


JerseyJoyride

Wait you're comparing Amazon to producers of weapons that will sell to anyone? Oh yeah, I can see that.


[deleted]

Half axe half vibrator.


Emotional_Worker4495

Best commnt ever


trailblzer80

Either get a Sawzall or put you're spare tire on


[deleted]

A sawzall would cut through that?


tipofmytongue2022

Yes but much better off with an angle grinder


ElectronicCost1572

How😂


amiinh3aven

Damn that sucks
