Came downtown Denver for the First Friday artwalk.
Came downtown Denver for the First Friday artwalk. When leaving I come back to my truck to find a boot on the tire and a sticker on the window saying I have unpaid parking fees.
I don't have unpaid parking fees. I almost never drive into Denver, but rather take the light rail into the city. This makes absolutely no sense. And, what's worse, my phone's nearly dead, my roommate is asleep because she has to work tomorrow and I live an hour away.
I really have no idea about this parking thing. I have no known tickets and while I don't drive downtown that often I do occasionally drive downtown. More importantly, I drive through downtown. Hell, I parked on the street in Denver for 6 hours last Sunday with no problems.
It makes absolutely no sense.
Plus, because the office isn't open on the weekends, I can't even fight it until Monday so my truck will have to sit here until then which means it's a prime target for vandalism or thievery.

Not to mention, they have me parked up near the Federal Courthouse and I can't image for the life of me what I would have been doing up there on a Saturday at 10PM.

Hopefully that's enough for reasonable doubt.
Of course, the dispute form I submitted said they'd get back to me within 30 days - by writing. Uh, I don't think my truck has that long before it's impounded. So, I still have to go down there on Monday to try and clear this up.

He pulled up my license plate number in his system and said ... I had three outstanding tickets, from 2006, 2008 and 2011. He then went on and printed the invoices from the multiple times the City of Denver tried to reach out to me (at an old address).
At that point I really couldn't place blame on the city. They did their due diligence, just to the wrong address.
He took off about $70, but I still had to pay the "boot fee" of $100, plus the outstanding ticket costs.
Ugh.
They told me it would be about two hours before the boot would physically come off. Okay ... now I was downtown Denver, with one vehicle and needed to move another vehicle to a safer parking place so I didn't get immediately ticketed again.
I took my roommate's car down to a light rail (train) station, parked it, rode the train back, walked the 10 blocks or so (with a pretty/interesting girl, so it wasn't all that bad), drove my truck to the train station (Southmoor, for all you Denver folks), dropped it off and drove my roommate's car home. Later in the evening my roommate took me back to get my truck.
