Love this guy - Wondered where Flan had got to ..

Wheel Clamp Man with his hard hat and angle grinder on the streets of Perth

Question: What type of Super hero would you like in Qatar or the Gulf..

_______________________________________________

A caped crusader in green lycra, multi-coloured socks and black Speedo swimming trunks has been hailed a hero by motorists.

The mystery man with a Zapata moustache uses an angle grinder to remove the wheel clamps and save motorists a $135 (£88) release fee.

In return, he asks for a small donation which he reportedly gives to the homeless.

“I’m helping people out,” he told Perth’s Sunday Times newspaper. “I don’t feel I’m damaging property.

If he sees a lady with bared shoulders, he takes out his large "pen" and colours the offending parts black !

reminds me of our zorro, the local superhero in the university town i grew up in

he mostly walks around all day muttering to himself, but he gives high fives to joggers who pass by him on campus and sometimes gives words of encouragement, like "idol!" and "you're beautiful". because of that he always gets invited to marathons (or does he show up by himself? no one knows) all over the the city.

has been documented to direct traffic, assist people crossing the street and escort students walking alone in the dark streets if they finish late at school. restores your faith in humanity. is not allergic to having his picture taken.

Anti Stink Man. A super hero with a giant deodorant can spraying down everybody with offending BO.
