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

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? :/

I agree with the people above... why would they write a no-plate ticket on a parked car - don't plates get stolen all the time? And second, how would they know who to ticket?

why didn't you think to call the station right then and report what happened? if you had done that, the cops would have a description of the kids (though nothing would probably happen because of that) and your ticket would have been voided. There would have also been several witness to back up your story. And this would be a FYL Since it appears you didn't do that, this is a YDI.

WOW!!!! Dumb asses #7 is right Yes, cops can give a ticket to parked cars... he meant parked cars for not having a license. Cops can't give a ticket to a car for not having plates unless it is being driven.. understand what you're talking about before you're a dick. I say it's fake as well....

You saw them take the hubcaps, radio and license plates off your car? Surely, in the time it took them to do that, you could've a) called the cops or b) chased them off before anything was stolen. And how did they get to the radio anyway? YDI.

#7 what? there are a lot of tickets that can only be given to parked cars.

Your car is registred to a licens so it should not be hard to get rid of the ticket... just show your licens paper and it will be gone...

Even if the VIN was not visible, the police could have used a wheel clamp with the ticket, so you would need to identify yourself before you could get the clamp taken off. I hope the OP successfully challenges the ticket. This is wrong.
