We spotted the hummer owner parking on the other side of the street today. He parked legally and paid… But get this: he put an empty parking citation envelope on his dash, presumably so that when his time expired it would look like he already got a ticket.
We also discovered that he’s the manager of Aura, a night club that we frequent for weekday happy hours. I really fought the urge to say something to him, but realized that nothing good would come out of it. He isn’t going to care that he cost my company several hundred dollars. And most likely he’d just kick us out of the club which would be bad for everyone since they have grub food.
Here you can see the hummer with the “ticket” on it.
And here you can see the empty envelope. (yes, we checked - it’s a decoy!)
And here you can see that his parking permit expired at 4:21PM… picture taken at 5:15pm or so.

Dude that’s a really good idea.

That’s just too funny you guys figured out who it was. Jim took me to Aura last night - I’ve seen the guy. He even “looks” like a jerkface.

Wait? He puts a fake parking ticket envelope on his hood? E-mail me the address of this place and the license plate number of his Hummer. My sister is a Portland Reserve police officer. If you want, I can pass that information along. He can get seriously nailed for that.
