Ken,
If you recall it was me that called you from the restaurant to purchase a parking ticket. Although the parking attendant was writing a ticket for your car he assured me that he would not report you providing that you bought a ticket a.s.a.p. This you duly did as witnessed by a group of us at that time.
The attendant has obviously forgotten to cancel your none payment.
I will be happy to give a witness statement on your behalf as I am sure so will many others who were around at that time.
Colin.
