    They will clamp it around 5:30 AM and come back when they expect you to be up.
    Move the car, lock all doors when they ask where it is, tell them the owner, if they had done any research they would have know who it belongs to.
    Then close the window and wish them goodbye.
    Do not listen to any rubbish they spout about locksmiths coming, if you have had brains not to let him in, they can not force entry, so put bolts on.
    They will shout, intimidate neighbours in an attempt to get you embarrassed and let them in and when this fails, leave with a load of threats.
    Be happy...;)

    I learnt to treat them like vampires ;) Don't let them in or they can come back...

    if you cannot find or get a receipt for it then you need to pop down to your local solicitors first thing and get the solicitor to witness you signing a paper stating it is your car to give them (. Standard fee of a fiver, no need to wait or make an appointment) .

    This is a statutory declaration and I have used them successfully with Rossendales.
