Reminds me of 1966.  I'd been working in New Orleans during the summer after my freshman year at TWC, and I bought a used car, an old Mercury, from a guy from Pennsylvania that had PA tags on it.  I paid cash, he signed over the title and gave me a Bill of Sale, then I drove to El Paso.  A month or so later I registered the car in Texas and got Texas tags, but I hadn't put them on yet when I came out of class with a buddy and found a "boot" on my tire for unpaid parking tickets.  I assessed the situation, noticed a gap between the steel plate and the lug nuts, jacked up the car, removed the lug nuts, and put the tire and the boot in my trunk, and drove off on the spare, eventually putting the boot in the fraternity trophy case.

Alas, they tracked me down.  The Dean of Students wasn't amused.  Had to return the boot, pay all the tickets, and go on social probation.  I enlisted at the end of that semester and came back 3 years later, considerably matured.
