That's awesome. I would have taken the clamp with me though so the city would have to buy a new one.

Not a good idea. This way you can't get prosecuted for theft...

Least in this particular case, you can always say "Blimey! I was wondering where I left that wheel!"

There was a case here in London a while back where someone bought a clamp from Halfords or somewhere and found a clamper van in London and clamped it.

I was most amused. On cheaper models it is also possible to dismantle the clamp with a socket set...

I saw a volunteer fireman cut one off his car with the 'jaws of life' one day. I live beside the harbour, and another day a guy who was fixing his boat ran the length of the docks chasing a clamper with a petrol-powered diamond tipped angle-grinder revved in his hands.... :D

At the college where my brother studies, they only have one wheel clamp. He got the code for the key off the lock on the clamp, and then ordered a replacement key.

Thus whenever anyone got clamped, they just unlocked it :D

That sounds a bit like what happened at my uni last year. Someone scanned the passes for parking and sold them to students for $50. So this year the parkingnazi has a plam pilot on which she checks the licence plates.
