The Boot Girls Are Saving Atlanta One Car at a Time
Jump to Connections
276,445 Views ā€¢ Feb 8, 2024 ā€¢ Click to toggle off description
Meet Atlantaā€™s most unlikely heroes, the Boot Girls. Masked vigilantes by day, sugar babies by night, the Boot Girls zip around town armed with plastic ghost keys, taking parking boots off your car for a small fee. A welcome service for a parking enforcement industry thatā€™s been described as ā€œpredatoryā€ by residents, city officials, and even state senators.

Hereā€™s how it works: private companies patrol garages, booting cars for whatā€”at timesā€”seems like minor infractions. Parking anywhere can feel like a game of financial roulette, since boot companies charge $75 to unlock your car, and that doubles each subsequent day.

In this VICE profile, we embed with the Boot Girls, documenting their rise from hustlers to patron saints of Atlanta's parking lots.

Not all heroes wear capes, but at least one wears a fuzzy, bright pink shiesty mask.

I got booted in Atlanta one time and the boot guy was sitting in the parking lot and his vehicle waiting on everybody to park and walk off. Well I filmed him after we paid him to get the boot off and Atlanta law requires the booting company to have a sign on their vehicle of who they are making themselves known and he did not well when I sent the video to his company and threaten the lawsuit. They sent me my money back.

I would get booted constantly while I was in college (paying ~$20k/yr to go to school there but still had to pay for parking šŸ™ƒ). I was working full time and going to school full time and the parking tickets nearly made me fucking homeless. Itā€™s a racket. These women are truly heaven sent

Iā€™ve seen how predatory booting and tow companies can be in Florida, and itā€™s worse in Georgia. I donā€™t endorse criminal behavior, but itā€™s weird to see people getting upset at the girls for this when boot companies walk the line of legality every day to extort people.

The private security at a client's apartment building did this to us. We told them were doing the repairs, and he wouldn't budge. So we paid to have it removed, and a week later, came back and booted HIS car. The next day, a homeless guy came with a key to the boot and said, "I'll remove it for $30."

I paid for parking in Buckhead, near the wework using spot hero. I came back and my car was booted. Not only did they boot my car, but they scratched up my rim. The booter took 2 hours to come despite telling me he is 20 mins away. He threw a I'm sorry with noo care in the world and refused to take accountability for the rim damage.

If something "illegal" can be corrected by paying something, then it's only illegal for the poor. If the law doesn't respect you, why should you respect it?

A bic pen, and a bic lighter, is an ALMOST foolproof way to pick those circular locks, take the pen apart, use the lighter to soften the tube of the pen, and then quickly press it into the circular hole, allow it to cool and harden, then twist as if the pen were a key. It doesn't always work, but it does work most of the time.

Superglue the locks like the French did, force the private companies to cut their own wheel clamps (boots) off themselves, they don't even exist over there anymore šŸ˜‚

I would worry that someone booting these cars is going to make a fake call just to start a confrontation
