      On some of them you can just let the air out of the tire and slip them off the wheel. I did that at a parking garage one time and left the boot in the parking spot.

      They found me later and said I stole it, I told them to check the camera footage and they saw someone else carry the thing off. I don’t know how I got out of that one but I guess they just went after the other guy instead of me lol

      Most boots are also trivially easy to pick open for even an armature.

      They arnt generally well made

        Folks in my area used to cary around crowbars (the half life style long ones for crates and shit) back when the sheriff deputies were boot happy for a bit. This was before cameras so they couldn’t do much when they found the damned things snapped didn’t help that folks would do it to any car they saw with a boot.
