Stanley Burnside - Nebraska man gets impossible New York parking tickets - Brief Article

Reason, Dec, 2000 by Charles Oliver

The first time Stanley Burnside got a notice of an unpaid parking ticket for his old truck, he was confused. After all, the truck had been parked behind his barn for more than two years since the transmission blew out. Even more confusing was the source of the ticket: New York City, a place where the Nebraska man has never even been.

But when the tickets kept coming, and New York threatened to report him to a credit bureau, he became alarmed. After hiring an attorney, Burnside finally convinced the city it had made a mistake.
