    Back in the day when a driver carried a jack and a spare that boot would be useless. Could be removed without technically laying a finger on it.

    So you weren’t on hotel property you were on a lot next to the hotel that was private property?

    either way it’s BS

    So, now we will have to suffer thru a "Mutha-Trucker" video to see the whole story.

    It was directly across from the hotel and there was four other trucks parked there. It's like a complex with multiple businesses and it's in the same parking lot as the hotel but somebody else owns the parking lot that the trucks were parked at. I saw two other drivers get out of their truck and go into the hotel but I guess they only stayed one day and I stayed 3 days

    Did you ask the hotel about parking when you checked in?

    Well this boot was crazy the thing covered the entire wheel it went over the drive axles and even had spikes in it where if I tried to move it would puncture the tires and then it had this big huge bar that went all the way over the top of the tires and around the other side. The locksmiths that I called said they didn't think they could pick the lock they'd have to drill it or cut it and then everybody in the parking lot would have heard it

    Just make sure it’s not dry chemical. Could make for a funny video though.
