A mate used to manage a supermarket, and had the usual big sign that non-disabled people parking in the bays would have their wheels clamped and would have to pay a donation to the disabled society to have them unclamped. One day an idiot refused to pay. So he tried to drive off anyway. In a brand new Mercedes. Caused about ZAR15,000 damage to his wheel arches rather than admit he was wrong and cough up ZAR200 :-) Darwin gets them all in the end :-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
