I've not been on ATS for ages, been very busy.
Heres a fantastic storey about a bloke who IS a real hero. Not much to do with conspiracy but its sooo cool and he is fighting oppressive parking
regulations used to make cash from motorists. And so far hes not been caught.
Clad in a blue leotard and wielding a saw, a man claiming to be the UK's first wheel clamp vigilante is offering his services to motorists.
Angle-grinder Man - a self-proclaimed superhero - patrols by night looking for unhappy drivers who have been clamped and then sets their cars free.
He promises to take on clamping firms, speed cameras and the congestion charge on behalf of drivers.
An odd-job man by day, he claims to operate in Kent during the week and in London at weekends.
A hotline number on his website offers a free wheel clamp removal service.
Long-haired and lanky, he is becoming well known in some parts of south London. About a month ago, 25-year-old Petite Tendai arrived home to find a
boot on her illegally parked car. (�There were no signs saying `no parking,� � she declared.) She had barely begun to rail at the injustice of it all
when Angle-Grinder Man suddenly appeared.
�Basically, he jumped out of his car in his outfit and said, `If anyone can, Angle-Grinder Man can,� � Ms. Tendai said in a telephone interview. �Then
he just started sawing it off. It was wicked.� He was gone almost as quickly as he came. �It was just a `good luck,� and what-not, and then he was
off,� she said.
