Read about London's Angle-Grinder Man: "a superhero wheel clamp vigilante."

"Angle-Grinder Man has so far managed to elude the authorities by a mixture of luck, cunning and quick work: once he gets going, he can liberate a car in less than a minute. He does not accept money and says his main motivation is 'anger at how politicians in this country treat people in general, but particularly in regard to motoring regulations.'

He rented a circular saw for about £30 and did the job himself. He taped a photograph of the sawed-up clamp to his windshield, along with a note saying, 'Please don't clamp me because I've got an extremely sensitive nature.'"
