Theft or destruction of property charges. Technically, the boot only immobilizes the wheel it was placed on. By removing the vehicle and leaving the boot locked, undamaged, and in place they have done nothing illegal.Also, tire = $99. They don't boot except for excessive accumulation of fines, so the guy probably owes $400+
Here the 'booters" are private firms prowling parking lot areas under contract. They are not police or officers of the peace. So if you didn't take the boot, they'd have to take you to civil court for the "fine", they probably wouldn't. Also they boot everyone first time, every time.

surely if you had put the spare on you would then stick this in the boot, then when you get home take a saw to its ass!

The photograph could have been taken before they drove off with the tire + boot in the boot.
