Today, I walked out to my car to see four kids taking the hubcaps, radio, and license plates off of my truck. I chased them six blocks until I tripped and twisted my ankle. I limped back to my car and found a ticket on my windshield for $55 dollars. The reason? Missing license plates. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket for $150. It seems it was issued by my husband, who apparently can't remember license plate numbers. FML
Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML
Today, a truck rear-ended my car and drove off. I could see everything from my office, everything except his license plate. FML
Today, after finding $50 on the sidewalk this morning and feeling like the luckiest person alive, I got a parking ticket for $60. FML
Today, my car got a wheel lock because I had 5 tickets. Three of those tickets dated back to 2006. I got my car and license in 2008. FML
Today, I went to city hall to pay for a parking ticket. After returning to my truck, I found a parking ticket on my window. FML
Today, I parked my car, went to pay for my spot, and returned to my car only to find a parking violation ticket tucked under the windshield wipers. This all happened in less than a minute. FML
Today, I went to my car to discover a note on the windshield from the city telling me that they had hit my car. On top of that note was a parking ticket, also from the city. FML
Today, running late for work, I ran outside and the door handle literally broke off my vehicle when I pulled to open it. I climbed in through the passenger door, turned on my car, and the windshield wipers were on… swiping a fresh $78 parking ticket across my windshield. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How did they write you out a ticket with no license plates? Just a description of the truck? :/

Commenters are stupid. Police ticket parked cars all the time, and they can still ticket a vehicle without licence plates as #30 said. And I don't fault the OP for not chasing them in the truck: getting into the truck and starting it up would give the kids quite a bit of a headstart and they could always run anywhere where a truck couldn't follow. Plus, it would be harder for the OP to explain to a cop why s/he was driving without licence plates.

you should file a police report; you may be able to have the ticket overturned, and the kids, if you got a good look at them, thrown in jail for larceny.

It's called a VIIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Every vehicle has a unique VIN displayed on the bottom of the front windshield, and a cop can write you a ticket based on that even if you've got no plates. It's a simple lookup in the registry to find your plate number, name, and address.
