He was also given a supervision order, an unpaid work in the community and a drug rehabilitation order and issued with a two-year antisocial behaviour order upon conviction (Crasbo) which prohibits him from entering any car park, public or private, free or for payment, in the city centre.
Khan risks arrest and jail if caught breaking the new order.
Chief Inspector Andy Rooke, said: "Details of this individual and the order placed upon him have been circulated to car park management teams across the city centre, in order that any breaches can be dealt with swiftly, and the necessary action put in place."
People are being encouraged to report breaches of Kahn's Crasbo on 0115 9152020.

“Punishing scum like this would be so much easier if the sentencing regime was:
1st offence - 1 day in prison
2nd offence - 1 week in prison
3rd offence - 1 month in prison
4th offence - 1 year in prison
5th offence - 10 years in prison
No leeway, no paroll, no Asbos, no puny fines that don't get paid.
It's a sliding scale of punishment that says, before an offence has even been committed, that these are the outcomes you will get and if you can't do the time, don't do the crime”

“What a joke, a guy in America gets 10 years for hacking a computer and stealing some photographs. Khan breaks in to almost 60 cars and gets a slap on the wrist and 120 days of which he probably only served about half. The scumbag (Khan)is a career theif who will continue to steal when he is at liberty, the solution is to take away his liberty for a very long time so he can no longer ply his trade.”

“This was reported in Feb 2009:
A PROLIFIC car thief caught in a police sting has been banned from touching cars.
Imran Khan was jailed for 120 days after he broke into a unmarked patrol car fitted with hidden cameras at the NCP car park in Stoney Street, Nottingham.
The 27-year-old was already the subject of an anti-social behaviour order banning him from entering car parks in the city centre.
On his release from prison Khan will be under a further Asbo prohibiting him from entering car parks, carrying a screwdriver, or touching any motor vehicle without the permission of the owner.
Magistrates heard Khan was caught on camera on December 7 last year breaking into the front passenger door of a police capture car and opening the glove box. He also had Smartwater sprayed on him.
Khan, of Tunstall Crescent, Aspley, admitted attempted theft from a motor vehicle, breaching an Asbo and asked for more than 40 further car crimes to be taken into consideration.
Why wasn't he jailed again? He has never taken notice of these banning orders”
