You might feel differntly when faced with a busted window and a
parking charge notice after some toe rag has helped themselves to
your non-registration marked ticket. B-)

**** happens. Can't say I've ever experienced that (yet) in 40 years of
motoring ?

Niether have I but I note your "yet". 40 years ago it wouldn't occur
to anybody to break in and steal a parking ticket. These days some
seem to think they are entitled to do such a thing.

Or smash a £100 window to steal a couple of quid in change or a USB
charging cable.
