    Some boots cover the lugnuts too, specifically so you can’t do this.

      I had one of those by a shitty apartment complex I lived it. I let the air out of the tire, jacked up the car, and wiggled it off without a problem. Threw the lock in a bush, aired up the tire, and drove away.

      I still think about it those picks from time to time and smile at getting one over them.

        Do you ever think about this and feel like it was definitely the highest point of your life? And everything since is going downhill… I wish I had a gigantic success like that once in my lifetime, but I’m afraid I won’t like what it means in terms of setting an unreachable standard for my future successes

          Not OP but I do. Well, I don’t think about this situation…but a situation I was in which I (and many others) consider my greatest success, unfortunately.

          My life has gone downhill since then.

      Has no one ever, like, died because they had an emergency and couldn’t get to the hospital because someone booted their car?

      How is it legal? Just take down the license plate and send a parking ticket. What gives someone the right to basically hijack someone’s car.
