Got a notice in the mail from the City of Detroit reminding me that I had to pay a parking ticket from March 8th. Had my plate and drivers license # on it, but the thing is, the last time I was actually in Detroit was last June for a Tiger's game, and I paid 15 dollars to park in a lot off Woodward. Anyway, it was 50 bucks or get my car booted or get my license suspended, so I just paid the money. I don't know. It seems like fighting a parking ticket in court would cost more than 50 dollars, in terms of time and hassle. Has this type of thing happened to anyone here?

Did you have to leave your keys when you parked?
If keys are available, some parking lot attendants will skim by moving customers cars to the street and parking them illegally. As new customers arrive, they park them in the newly vacated space and pocket the money. Towards the end of the game as patrons leave, the move the illegally parked cars off the street and back onto the lot, throwing away any tickets they received. The owner never discovers what happened until months later when they het a failure to appear notice on their car for the unpaid ticket.
Parking lot management is oblivious or doesn't care. All they are concerned about is their lot has X number of parking spaces and they collect revenue for that number of spaces. In some cases, parking managers take a cut of the skim from their attendants.Going too far is half the pleasure of not getting anywhere
