Booted in a private parking lot
#22221279 - 09/11/15 10:43 AM (8 years, 4 months ago) |

So i leave the lot and come back to find some guy from a shady LLC put a boot on my car for leaving the parking lot. This happened to me once before and he charged 140 at first, only to drop to 80. I was stupid then and paid it.
Since im a locksmith now, i know the scams much better. This guy can wait, i have all day to sit in my car.

Tradesmen are scammers. Theyll probably accept 30% of what they initially charge you.
That applies for most things...not to mention the things they tell you that you need without actually needing them.

As a Man of many trades i dont belive this is true, i charge a premium for my custom made glass and will even tell you how many hours it took to made and the cost of the tube and rod, as a customer you have the choice to go to someone else, but if your commissioning glass from me your someone who enjoys quality.
now, as for the jackasses that boot your car, i'd just cut that fucking thing off then they have two problems. you keep a grinder in your trunk right? i do.

I do have my grinder...not a bad idea.
Though im worried about property damage. What theyre doing is legal. Either way, this guy keeps trying to talk to me. I just close my wondow and tell him i dont want to hear it. Told him hes going to be here aaaall day. I dont think he can leave the lot with the boot on my car

if he can boot your car legally then obviously you can't touch the boot

Yea theres 2 signs stating it. In the city of chicago what theyre doing is perfectly legal.
Still a scam, and ill be fucked if they take one cent from me.
Some seemingly random guy just came by my car and tried to discretely take a pic of me as he walked by. Not dure what that was about, probably related

you realize he will just leave the boot on till its toed right? and camera's will catch you trying to break it off, then you get arrested for destruction of property, he has your plates, and now he has your pictures......... just admit defeat, admit you did something you shouldn't have, maybe he'll take it off and let you go, or let you pay $20 to him instead of the $100's to get it out of the pound

So you parked illegally in a place where it clearly stated you would be booted for doing so. Now you're booted and claiming its wrong.
I don't understand.

Never said im not wrong, i said its a scam. If he wants to scam me for a 30% commission on $140 then he can be my guest and wait all day.
I dont think he can leave the lot with the boot still on, and they cant tow with me sitting in the car.
Im not going to touch it. Just a nice thought

yep. it's private property; they do not need a no loitering sign. do I need a no loitering sign to kick you out of my house? no.
