“Dear PoPville,
I got a parking ticket on my motorcycle a few days ago. I guess I must have missed one of those temporary No Parking signs people put up. I found the bike knocked over along with this note.
I’d just like to say a couple of things to my mystery neighbor:
1. I’m sorry about your kid’s birthday party, I really am. I have no idea how leaving my bike parked there ruined it, but as a parent myself, I understand your frustration.
2. I work in the emergency department and I have two young children. I’m pretty busy, so sometimes I don’t check on my bike for a few days at a time.
3. I did not see any sign.
4. Those signs are usually for moving trucks. I’m not sure how anyone could have known it was for a kid’s birthday party.
5. I’d love to talk to you about the situation. Maybe someone can put us in touch, or maybe you can put your name on the next note you leave. [Ed. Note: You can email [email protected] and I can put you in touch with OP]
Thanks!”
