That's an odd superpower

In the U.S. (or at least here in Chicago), we call the device that police attach to your wheel when you have too many outstanding tickets a "boot".

Apparently, it's more descriptively called a "wheel clamp" in the UK, and this BBC article has information about the first "wheel clamp vigilante" (complete with spandex costume and cape).
