How in the blip? How can this happen?
I suspect that the person being ticketed had a vehicle license plate number very similar to mine, and someone made a typo.
Those things happen. I once found a deposit of $67,000 in my savings account. I was rich for about 3 months until I finally called the bank to ask about it. Someone had transposed digits in an account number... (It would have been nice if the bank had at least allowed me to keep the interest. But they even took that away.)
