The Pittsburgh Parking Ticket Scam
Today I am mailing out $94 of Pittsbugh parking tickets. They seem to hit me all once, different neighborhoods, different days of the week I have to park on different sides of the street for a street cleaner that does everything but clean.
They aren’t so bad in Wilkinsburgh where we live, since the ticket itself is the envelope you send your money in. It’s very easy, just take it off your wind shield, fill it with loot, attach a stamp and your done.
In Pittsburgh where I work in the Hill District, it is a much different story. I swear their tickets are made of tissue paper, so skimpy you can’t do anything with it but hide it in your glove compartment to never be seen again…until you get the letter saying your late with your payment with the cost of the ticket doubled. What a scam! Even when you get the deliquency notice you still have to search for who to make the check out to, where to send it.
This is not how I want to spend my money!
