That'll learn 'em

The clamp was probably worth more than the car!

wouldn't the fine still stand? how did he get one over on them?

It raises an interesting question of ‘when is a car, not a car?’ If the back end is clamped and on the pavement but the front end with the VIN and Engine numbers is on his property, who is responsible for the back bit. I guess he is as he left it there, but is it still a car, or is it a obstacle? Similar to it being illegal to ride or push a bike over a Zebra Crossing, but it being perfectly legal to carry it as it becomes a parcel or piece of luggage.

What a burke. Cut up his car to spite his face................
