Then there's the story about a guy who kept getting dozens, if not hundreds, of parking tickets. He got tickets for places he'd never been. They just started coming one day and all of sudden, he was flooded with them. There was obviously no way that he could have gotten all those parking tickets legitimately.
The one thing they all had in common was that the license plate for every ticket was listed as "NO PLATE"
Well, it turns out, that was indeed his license plate. When he filled out the form for the personalized plate, it had three blanks. Obviously one for his first choice, and then a blank for his 2nd and 3rd choices. He couldn't think of but two, so he wrote in the blank for the 3rd choice "no plate."
Obviously, that was a big mistake.
So, figured out what was happening? Every time the parking cops filled out a form on a car that had no license plate on it, they wrote "No Plate" on the form, which was of course his license number.
Is this true? I don't remember, but I thought it was funny.
