Newsbreak suggested that an empty parking ticket would do.

Imagine walking up to your parked vehicle and seeing the dreaded envelope wedged underneath the windshield wiper.

Your heart would sink despite being aware of the fact you weren't in violation of anything.

As far as you know, your day is ruined knowing you have to drain your wallet for a petty offense. Until you see the bogus citation up close. Curses! You've been had.
