My car was booted along with 10 others parked in the lot across the street from the Organic Farmers Market. I’d like to warn other Decaturites against assuming that they can park after 5 p.m. in the lot on the corner of Church and Clairemont. This lot is entirely empty after 5. The man who boots the cars sits in a corner of the lot in an unmarked white Chevy sedan waiting for unsuspecting prey. I, and others, parked for a mere 10 minutes for a quick run over to the farmers market. We were charged a whopping $75 to remove the boot. The boot company picked up $750 in about 15 minutes.

I’d be interested to know if the company Peachtree Immobilization is licensed to operate in the City of Decatur and if the city has set a limit on what the boot companies can charge.
