Epic Ownage, Audi Booted

Its over 40 pages long and comical as well
http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3880087&page=1
he summary of the story:

Guy in AZ is part of a Home Owners Association, with strict parking rules requiring a parking tag, enacted long after he moved in. Guy forgets on ONE occasion to put up the parking tag on his Audi.

Contracted parking enforcement company boots the car, even though they know the guy is a resident and has a tag. Guy puts dollies underneath his booted car to move it into his garage (and uses a different car in the mean time), severely pissing off Arizona Parking Solutions (APS). APS threatens to take him to court, claim he is stealing the boots, and threaten him some more.

Cops get involved, and side with the car owner, saying he isn't breaking any laws. and tells APS to take their boots off the guys car and GTFO. APS rants and raves, owner of said company is on the verge of physically assaulting car owner.

Home Owners Assoc (HOA) gets involved, and appears to be siding with car owner, and apparently it is discovered APS is breaking its own rules. APS also decides to go out and boot multiple cars for no apparent reason, in retaliation.

Hilarity has been ensuing for about 40 pages now. The screen name of the main character/car owner/bootee is The A1 and A2 German. If you want, just scroll through for his posts for the updates and pictures. If you haven't read this a;ready and have some extra time, enjoy! Photo-chops will begin soon....

That's crazy, but they've made a difference, though, and APS isn't booting as many car as before. I'm surprised legal recourse has not been pursued as of yet.

Just wait....

If a fat lady is suing Chili's cause she ate too much (not really the case, I just like to juice it up), and a 50 year old is suing Victoria Secret for a bead popping off her G string and hitting her in the eye...you know someone eventually will sue for this.

"If you feel like spending about the same amount of money you could go on a booting spree. Personally I would boot the booting truck. "

Haha. Those boots suck (in the fact that they cover the lug nuts). The time I got booted at school, i just took the wheel off, put the spare on, drove home, cut it off, put the wheel back on. That'll teach them to boot me with suck boots.

Just curious...If the boot covers the lugs, how did you "take the wheel off"?

I guess I didn't word it clearly. That boot in the picture is the whole boot....well in three pieces, but yes. I meant the boots with the plate suck cause you cant take off the lug not to take off the wheels. This 'boot' was merely a claw if you will. Change the tire and off you go.
