On the news last night they said each meter could have between $30 and $60 in it. So if you average $45 each, and from the news it looked like at least 15, that’s almost $700.

Not bad for a nights work… if you’re into stealing stuff anyway. Besides, how many tips do you think the city is really going to get about this crime?

I don’t park downtown much, even less on the street, but I’m still surprised I never saw them do this before.
