Clamping on private property is illegal. Sign or no sign.

Could he leave the lock as it is and start using a chain and a padlock to secure the gates? Annoying that they've knackered the proper lock but it should help for the time being

Failing that it would be a shame if their tyres were to go flat during a their shift... and the only pump in the yard was a bike one

Acetone only dissolves resin when it's not set. When it's set, it's set.

Sometimes UV can breakdown adhesives.

Cyanoacrylate disolver from a model shop should do it.

Surely if it's your property (or relating to your company etc.) then you are legally allowed to clamp vehicles parked on your property - assuming you have the correct signs about warning of parking illegally on privately owned land!

You'd make the cost of the clamps back after one fine @ £100 a pop, so after that you're in profit. But as with all these things, you'd have to photograph them, probably offer a receipt to prove money had been paid, declare it as income (personal or company), and also run the risk of being taken to court for any damage caused by the clamp etc..

Lots to think about!

I love the idea, and if they make a fuss just look sympathetic and say "Yes we have noticed that some vandal in the area is doing that as it happened to our gate lock and our cars and that they should be careful where they park" - but escalating the problem seldom works as can be seen in the Middle East at the moment.

Rather than the above I would introduce an after hours charge for parking on your premises and temporally hire a security guard to enforce it. And/or give those who pay a key to get in and out.

This debate seems too reasonable. Someone needs to call someone else a Nazi

It seems acetone won't help from what others have said
Depending how much you need , should you decide it may work, have a word with the local pharmacy

Used to be but there was so much abuse of the system it's no longer legal...
