That’s awesome! Thanks for the morning laugh.
A car equipped with a transponder crosses a bridge over the Ohio River every now and then, and for some reason, I get a bill for the bridge toll. I can’t figure out why the bridge thinks it’s me in that car — maybe an old license plate because the bill goes to my old address....it’s a weird modern problem not sure how to solve or whether to bother....
It’s not as funny as it used be.
It’s more like a preview of coming attractions.
But I love Weird Al.
If you get a chance to see him in concert you’ll have a great time!

In Texas, at least, we had the same problem. Seems their automated tolling system assumed all plates were from Texas, at least if Texas had a match to the plate number. So it was cheaper to send the bill to an innocent Texan than to try to identify the correct state and go after the proper vehicle.
So I called for 3 separate bills for an out-of-state vehicle with the same plate numbers - I called them, they were very nice and reversed the charges after looking at their photo. For the 4th bill, I ignored it (knowing it was false). My plan worked - to go to then next step, enforcement, they likely had a human review the case before sending me a nasty letter, as I never heard back. At that point, they may have also flagged all future bills with my plate for human review, as I never got anymore of them.
