Parking wardens

**mattian** · 30th July 2013, 16:04

Cameback to my bike last Tuesday, found 2 $200 tickets !!!!!! both for not displaying rego and warrant.... WTF?

I have both legitamately displayed behind my number plate. both current. I promptly took photos and filled out the appropriate online forms with my photo evidence. Recieved my pardon in the mail today. Just wondering has anyone else had such a ticket? I mean sure they're not obvious, but at the same time, you dont have to break your back to find them.
Im pleased with the outcome but, I can see how people end up hating parking wardens.

Haven't had a ticket but had something equally infuriating. I took my bike into town on a Saturday and parked it up. When I got home I couldn't figure out how the licence plate had been bent in half until I realised a parking warden must have bent the plate in half to view the rego. What a fucking asshole. All he/she had to do was twist it round to view....

Electrify your bike so if anyone touches it they get fried. Or have a sniper watching over it while you do your thing.

Hmm, what town? I found the same thing with my bike a couple of weeks back, I put it down to "wankers", which of course doesn't exclude parking wardens, but now you've got me wondering...

I had considered doing this to my car a few years back but found out (in Australia) you can get done for injuring the bastard that's fucking with your car

Wellington. I put it down to wankers at first too but then realised that would be an odd thing for a wanker to do but not a parking warden. Would LOVE to have caught the little fucker....

We had a setup like that in South Africa to stop the kaffirs from stealing our porch lamp. It worked very well, and we never had a problem again.

Mate of mine done similar thing with his car. He had an old HQ wagon and the pricks kept stealing it to go for a joy ride. He rigged it up once with a 5 littre can full of petrol. Screwed the spark plug into it and put it under the driver seat. Made a makeshift spark plug lead and run it back to the distributor. You can imagine the outcome when the cunt tried to hot wire it one night. He got done for endangering public but it got laughed out of court. Keep in mind that this was in the early 90s.
