Free Parking

There are so many parking meters out of order downtown these days. Some say no parking anytime, others say 2 hr maximum. Originally they used to be covered with canvas bags which were locked in place. But now (perhaps because there are so many) they've been using plastic bags with masking tape.

The obvious plan is: go downtown sometime when you think noone is watching, and harvest a whole bunch of these plastic bags. Then, in the future, whenever you want to park for free, just pull up to a meter, and just slip one of your own personal stash of bags over the meter! It's so simple!
