Old internet story/spoof...originated from the Bristol News on April Fool's...not true.

Would have made a good movie.

It's an old story and it's been proven bogus:

From that article:

Quote:
Interestingly, in December 2009 a Brooklyn man broke into a closed city-owned garage, opened it, and he began charging people for parking. He was chased off the site the next day by police, who subsequently tracked him via the DNA he left on a soda can.
LOL

It happens. I was standing next to a lot one night waiting for my friends GF to get out of a club and someone tried to offer me money to park their. I should have taken it and let him park.

Yeah it may happen one or two times at a certain location at an instance but to believe somebody could do it for 25 years everyday is a bit of a stretch...
