A woman was recently surprised to find a car parked in her assigned spot, but rather than call and have it towed, she simply found another place to park on the street. Unfortunately, she ended up getting a ticket that she couldn’t afford for parking without a permit — at least according to information that was shared by an Imgur user.
“Hey Stranger. Because you were parked in my spot last night (and still are??), I got a ticket for street parking overnight w/out a permit,” she wrote. “I’m broke. These are privately owned spots, and I could have you ticketed and towed. I won’t, but please don’t park in my spot again.”
What happened next was truly surprising, as she received a letter of apology along with $100.
“First I would like to apologize for parking in the spot. It was irresonsible on my part and I would like to give this to you to pay for the ticket and whatever else you need,” the note read. [It] can be tough atound this time of year. Merry Christmas.”
The letter was signed, “The a**hole who parked in your spot!”
There is no real confirmation on whether this story was fabricated or has any truth to it, however it is encouraging to see such a thing in a time of such unease and tension.
