If you had bought a ticket, and you have that ticket to prove it, even though it was not 'properly displayed', I would still contest it, if it were me. These parking businesses are outrageous and cannot be allowed to get away with a license to print money. If it had gone to court, I don't see how the parking company could have won - you had a ticket and as far as you were concerned, an act of God prevented it from being displayed properly ! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
