SOCIAL: jerky thief jerks and my front license plate

[Peter Khoury]

Don't despair I believe most of the parking tickets I've gotten  
include a VIN number as well.  A VIN is your car's unique  
identification number that long complicated alpha numeric thing on  
your front dash.  I'm assuming that the tickets you got include a VIN  
that doesn't match yours in which case you should be sitting pretty.   
Still a lot of bureaucracy but a solid case in your court.
