it would suck if someone took your citation away from your car, but yea, it seems so old. you'd figure they'd send you a letter in the mail too.

i still remember someone posting about a guy who parked his car illegally, but then proceeded to take the citation from another car and stuck it on his own car, so the cops would think he'd already been written up.

I did something like that for years. Well sorta. At my university, I didn't want to pay the $55 for the parking hang tag so I got a ticket the first day I parked without it. For the rest of the year, I would stick the ticket under my windshield everytime I parked. Never did receive another one and we're allowed to cancel one ticket per semester at my university so at the end of the year, I just had that one dismissed.

i did something similar while i was at UT.

i say scam. you wouldve gotten a few letters from the DMV telling you to pay the ticket or have your license suspended before they actually suspended it. definately call the dmv, they can tell you if it has been susepended or not.

At my college, they just keep giving you tickets until you get 5, then they boot your car until you pay the old ones.
