To the question of the lock on the door remaining the locksmiths property until paid for , is in essence true , but if the customer does not pay you, and you repo the lock, this is fine as long as the customer lets you in to remove it.
If the customer does not let you in for any reason, and you pick the lock to remove it, then you are guilty of breaking and entering and can be criminaly prosecuted , if you leave the property insecure whilst customer is not in, then a civil claim can be brought against you.

there was a bit of the cool weather here before it warmed up, and for a few days, I was enjoying wearing my green plastic fleece hoodie. dark green, I got treated like a criminal by some of the idiots I happened to briefly encounter. Some people are completly influenced by propaganda, and they never want to take the slightest percieved risk. this plays into the governments terror campaign. remember governments don't make people free. the people have to take their freedom and fight the power. When facism came to america, it came rapped in the stars and stripes. (paraphrase of a famous prediction by, was it,..Huey Long)

Don't forget, Hoodie is short for Hoodlum.
Put your customer at ease, next time, wear your Scream mask with genuine gushing blood.

At some point someone asked what kind of lock is used on these devices. I know there are many variations of wheel immobilizers, boots, wheel clamps or whatever your name of choice is but the ones that I have seen (in New Orleans Pre-Hurricane Katrina were similar or the same as this:

If I recall, they were generally secured with American Padlocks though I'm not sure if they were #10 or #30:

To get round the whole 'It's illegal to damage the clamp' thing, how about displaying a sign in the vehicle that reads something like 'Any clamping company attempting to render this vehicle immobile automatically pass ownership of the device to this vehicle owner.' Simple. As I now own the clamp, I can remove it.
