Ha! Got one. Near my work is a vacant lot that is soon to be a building site. People in the area have taken to parking their cars there as there don't seem to be any restrictions. What if an devious individual get there really early, wearing a yellow safty vest, and started charging cars $10 for all
day parking? Nobody would know that you don't own the site, and they probably wouldn't care.

I'll turn up as a fake policeman and shut down your fake parking attendant scam and demand that you pay a hefty on-the-spot fine too (Yes I know - someone else is going to turn up as an even faker policeman and arrest me for impersonating a police officer). |
