Angle Grinder Man has been doing the good work for quite some time. I remember first hearing about him two or three years ago. He used to have a website, but it seems to be gone.

has he actually cut these off? according to the article there havent been reports of any.

Quote

A Kent Police spokeswoman said no complaint about wheel clamps being cut off had been made by either a clamping firm or a member of the public.

A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said they could not investigate unless a crime was reported.

If someone cut one off your car would you report it?

For the record, "I'm a heterosexual superhero," Angle-Grinder Man said, "although I have no problem being a gay icon."
