I don't think anyone here would do
this, but if someone else finds themselves Denver Booted, they may want
to bitchslap gummint for messing everything up, and just take it
off. Here's one way, according to a guy who did it.

Removing the boot without tools or damage is actually a very simple
matter. Simply let out about half of the air from the "booted" tired.
Once you let the air out the prong that holds the boot in place can be
slid past the tire, exposing the hubcap. I had initially intended to
change the tire but I found that after sliding the clamp off the front
of the tire the rest of the boot was only hooked into the wheel from
the rear. I got behind the wheel of the car, started it and drove it a
few inches forward and the torque of the wheel immediately popped the
boot completely off. How to Remove a Parking Boot

After removing the boot, steal it.
ReplyDeleteOr not.
Parking and 'drinking and driving' laws are almost the only ones that make sense.
The ones I've seen are clamped on the rim. I guess I don't see what tire inflation has to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThe real solution for serious parking scofflaws is to own your own boot and ticket book. Meter maids prolly wouldn't bother if your car appears to be already booted.

Or just don't live in a large city.
ReplyDeleteOur son living in S.F. finds great humor in seeing these booted cars around the city. As he puts it, "You've got a car parked in a no parking zone, so instead of towing it away, they put a boot on. Now they're stuck there forever!" HA!
ReplyDeleteBureaucrats. They don't get elected for nothing, eh?
I think Homer Simpson did this once.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that it doesn't work but a lot of people will try it.
Lt. Col., reminds me of going to a show once. Our driver parked illegally, next to someone who had already been ticketed. Said driver took other guy's ticket, put it on his windshield. Problem solved.
