Last week, my parents received, in the mail, a letter from EXpressToll. For those who don't know what that is, it's an electronic toll collection system that is exclusively Colorado based (I think other places have one called E-Z Pass?). According to them, we owed them money because supposedly our old Suburban was driving on E-470 on February 7th.
Now, my parents and I had spent up until yesterday frantically searching through credit card statements, receipts, and even the pictures I'd taken from when we went to see Cats in Denver a few months ago, trying to find where it said we were driving over the mountains in February. We found nothing, though. Even on my pictures, it dates when they were taken (January 16th), and, even then, we'd driven our new car--a Highlander with a totally different plate--for that trip.
So my dad sends them an e-mail to verify that their information was correct. As it turns out, no, it wasn't. They'd seen a plate number on their camera, written it down wrong, and sent us the notification by mistake. That was kinda scary for a moment, though.
