That wasn't the case as mentioned its an old burnt resturant which hasn't been in use for over a year. I seen other cars parked there hence why i parked.

Only to come back to see the car ain't there and a crappy warning sign behind the wall which i didn't notice

But bottom line and i'll still admit it for the ones that dont seem to understand, I parked there, it was private land (which i've learnt), there was a warning sign and i got bummed

And yes i can come here whinging & moaning as i feel i was ripped off for supposdely the company clamping the car for 10 minutes (which i find hard to believe that they did this) and then recovering the car

Hard lesson learnt and i don't want others to fall into this trap

Nothing wrong with expressing me feelings

the police would do the usual "its a civil matter" unless there's actually some physical evidence you committed a crime. What camera?? and trespass is not a criminal offence. They would have to try and sue you for damages and justify the cost with evidence of which you could counter sue them for damages for being deprived of your car etc.

Police arent fucking stupid but in absence of evidence they cant do jack.

if you're gullible enough to pray, you're gullible enough to pay a clamping fee

Where in brum was this?

Only been clamped once that was outside Reyland at a rolling road day, the same dude did mine, Gav Diamond and Marco's 3 doors.

He rapidly removed the clamps and fucked off when 30 or so people bowled out from the rr day!!

I wouldn't piss on a clamper if he was on fire, unless I could piss petrol.

Clampers are utter fucking scum of the earth. I have never been caught, but I fucking hate the pricks. Normally just thugs with no GCSEs out to bully people out of money, operating on the edge of the law.

even though its burnt out etc

if the company still has a contract of the owners then its still in force

and although the goverment is supposed to be trying to get rid of these clampers its only in public areas

private land won't count unfortunately

the proposal does not differentiate land owner and parking company. Its the very act of clamping and towing away on private land thats being outlawed.

If you can find the car just go and take it back. Wish I had when Essex recovery took my ex's Corsa. She wasn't keen on me going along with bolt croppers though

Fucking hate clampers, scum of the fucking earth
