Why does nobody talk about the $40 parking boot that saved my whole weekend
I got lazy and parked in a tow zone near Navy Pier in Chicago for like 20 minutes, and came back to a boot instead of a tow. The guy wanted $190 to take it off on the spot, but a friend mentioned you can just pay the city ticket and drop the boot at a police station within 24 hours. So I paid the $40 ticket instead of the $190, walked to the station near Grand Ave, and handed it back with a receipt. Cost me one extra hour and about $4 in bus fare instead of almost two hundred bucks. Has anyone else had one of these boot guys try to scare you into paying on the spot?
