I did this once, too. YMMV based on meter maids in your city;

My own unpaid ticket from weeks ago should become an asset. protect my car from violations with cast Invisibility.

I put the decoy on windshield, under the wiper blade, and wandered off for a bit.

But this upset the coin gods. When I went to my car an hour later, neatly tucked above my original ticket was a fresh new one. Balls.

Maybe using 2 old tickets will work. :)

I’ve seen a parked car with 3+ tickets on the windshied (didn’t count but there was a small stack of them) in Austria. Had a foreign license plate though so probably just didn’t care and wasn’t gonna pay.

Around my area they almost always open existing tickets to check for the time/date. In addition many parking enforcement people patrol the same area all day and remember whether or not they already ticketed that vehicle.

But what did he do if the other car had already left when he returned? It's much more than a bit of an asshole thing to do.

That, or received a second ticket. It all went to the plan that time, at least.

Also pure genius. The worst kind, but hey! Gotta credit where some is due.

Creative... I've not done it, but it seems if I get a really good scan of a ticket, put my info on it, and use it as needed, they don't have a record of it. So I'd never get a fine.
