The next time PPA wants to ticket you for being illegally parked, and idling, and . . .

Well, this pic isn't nearly the catch made by MealTicket editor Drew Lazor when he caught a PPA truck parked next to a fire hydrant – during a fire alarm – but it's not bad.

Last night, local man Frank Iacovino pulled me from my Lord Chesterfield at the Khyber to point out the following (we apologize for the lousy picture: you call that a phone camera, Frank?): a PPA car, parked in a no-parking zone, idling, its driver inside.

Ah, you say – but was she writing a ticket? Checking a license plate? Just doing her job?

Ladies and gentlemen: she was eating a slice of pizza.

The PPA: parked (illegally) in front of the Khyber, idling, eatin' a slice.

A friend of mine got a parking ticket in center city recently and he can prove that he had left and was back at his home computer a half hour before the ticket was written. Should be interesting to see how that works out. I would bet a lot of parking tickets are fraudulent.

rough camera phone but good enough to get that vehicle number: 362.
