Back in 1977 an employer of mine was so outraged that his car was booted, he called his wife to come get him, they went home, and he drove back … with his welding equipment. Took awhile, but he cut that boot enough to remove it and drive his car back home (leaving the boot pieces on the sidewalk). I have no idea what “the rest of the story is,” but I was mildly amazed that nothing special happened while he was doing it. No one, including any authority figure, stepped in to suggest he stop, but also no small crowd of societal rebels formed to cheer him on. Just life in the big city, I guess.

All without destroying the wheel. Impressive.
Of course, you can’t really call it “good” because it’s illegal. But for Leopold, I imagine that’s as close as you’ll ever get.

And the booter guy hiding around the corner suddenly pees himself in terror…

He did that without damaging the wheel? He’s like a magician with a tablecloth.

Leo wasn’t being helpful. He didn’t want to walk home.
