Every three weeks I work an early shift and get to park on free all day parking rather than in one of the pay and display sites (or parking building if its raining).

90% of the time I park on a spot on the left hand side of the one way system south in Dunedin. I mostly get the chance to park just before the yellow lines start meaning if someone parks to close to me behind then I can just drive away.

On Wednesday as I got closer to my car I noticed someone was in front of me. The person behind me was also far too close and as a result of trying to get out of the car park I managed to hit both cars. I didn't feel bad however about that (especially to the car in front since it was parked illegally). On the way home I thought I should have taken pictures so I called the police who handed me over to the DCC who said they could issue a ticket.

On Thursday as I got close to the car I saw a familiar red car very close to me (I had parked in the same spot as yesterday). 50m away from the car, I got out my cellphone and rang the DCC -- the same car was in the same place on yellow lines! Thankfully the car behind me was not as close, but I waited for the DCC parking officer to arrive and take photos and give the person a ticket.
