genius !!! Man commandeers NYC garage, collects parking fees

[jeff of pa]

NEW YORK (AP) -- A Brooklyn man is in trouble over a plan to make money off a city-owned garage. Authorities said he broke in to the closed garage near the old seaport district and Wall Street, reopened it and began charging people for parking. The scam didn't last long.

The city's Department of Investigation said police chased him off the site on just his second day, then lifted his DNA from a soda can to prove he was there.

Something like was rumored to have happened in England, and got quite a bit of publicity, but it turned out to be a hoax.. It would probably work 'someplace'

A story about an unknown man who worked at the Bristol Zoo in England for 25 years as a parking attendant. One day he stopped showing up to work and the zoo administration called the Bristol town council to hire a replacement. The town council told the zoo that they never hired a parking attendant in the first place and it turned out that this person was not an employee of either the zoo or the city. Calculating the costs the zoo figured this person took off with close £4 million and is probably enjoying a very expensive retirement in Spain.
