It all started a couple days ago when on my normal rounds I found another fake permit. This one was at the same place I got the last forgery from, as when you find one, you start watching that lot much closer as it's probable that whoever made copy 1 probably has also made copies 2 - 5, especially if they've been charging for their services.
I think it was the same crew from the first time because it was a pretty decent forgery and they tried to correct the flaw that got them nailed last time, but gave themselves away in the process by screwing it up even further
Anyway, the car goes on a field trip to the impound, and as it was the last one of the day that was towed, I went home for the weekend and never found out the resolution of the whole deal.
Until I came back in on Monday, and found the same car parked in the same place, sans the fake permit, but with a large note on a piece of construction paper.
"DO NOT TOW! My buddy sold me a fake permit, until I have enough money to buy a real one from the office on Friday, I have no where else to park. Thank you."
Wow, that took some "onions", as it were, to write as it boiled down to "I intend to keep breaking the law until which point it is no longer convenient for me to do so" There seems to be as of late a new movement in the field of ethics that assumes that if you tell everyone you're breaking the law while you do it, you're free of consequence because at least you were being honest.... this guy isn't the first person to try this stunt really, but he was certainly the boldest. And something tells me you won't have the money to buy a real permit on Friday either as, *Whoop!* Oh look at that, your car is gone again, and that'll be another $105
Later learned that his buddy had indeed sold him the forged permit, for $300. He would've been better off just parking without the permit and hope we missed him.
