    After I removed it I would throw the pieces of it on his hood before driving away! They really aren’t hard to take off if you know what your doing and have the appropriate tool!

    A battery powered angle grinder would make quick work of it

    Exactly what I would have done after scanning the area for a sign stating NO TRUCK PARKING that wasn't seen when I parked.
    CHEERS!!

    I've actually had positive results a couple of times without squeezing the trigger.

    I wonder if he would have had the guts to use the gun. There were enough drivers involved to mob up and beat the living she it out of him.

    They were out booting trucks Sunday night at the Walmart in Texarkana on the Texas side around 1:00 am. Don't ask why I was up and moving around in a Walmart parking lot at that time to see this...wasn't by choice and I generally avoid Walmart for any reason as much as possible. I doubt they would have messed with my hotshot rig but I took the hint and left anyway. They were taking pictures and posting notices on the driver's side windows. Probably demanding some ridiculous amount of money to come take it off in the morning. They love to scam people like this down south for whatever reason. Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte, etc. Nobody seems to do that type of stuff up in here in Indiana. Back when I lived in Linden, NJ the local cops I saw sometimes would come knock on doors and shoo trucks out of the front lot of the big shopping center I lived near, but that was it.

    According to Trucker Path parking is allowed only while shopping. However some of the reviews stated that if they catch you overnight parking it’s a $250 dollar fine (I’m assuming it’s the boot).
    Me personally, I wouldn’t risk it.
