I Lost $.35
FOUND by Brian Andrew Carlsen
in Berkeley, California
I found this stuck to a parking meter in early June 2002. I guess someone was pissed off because the meter was broken. I just parked in front of it and didn't pay.

You shouldn't have nicked the note - it was there to stop anyone else putting money in and to inform the attendant so it could be fixed!
I like how the $.35 is underlined, as if a quarter and dime equals a tragic finacial loss. And the fact that they felt it necessary to state that loss.
I think it's weird that the note is dated May 31, 2001, but it was found in June 2002. And it's also bizarre that this was posted 5 years later on May 31, 2006...weird...
So, you can put nickels in the parking meter in CA? Here they only take quarters. Hmm...
Wow. Brian Andrew Carlsen is a real rebel. Look out Berkeley meter maids!
I once saw a note like this outside of Blockbuster. The guy lost 1.00 (STOP putting quarters in, you idiot!) and not only did he want to warn others, but he DEMANDED the city pay him back.
In order to assist in this, he left the make, model and license plate # on the note. Bentley. Only in LA.
The poor guy he could have used that 35 cents or lost it in the couch.
"This damn machine took my money and won't give me my damned Cheetos!"
I think the underline was a signature. But yeah, probably should have left it there.
Those things are always broken.
this is so <u>tragic</u>
The meter wasn't broken till you put a dime in it, dummy--they only take quarters. You broke it. You now owe the city $500 for a new one.
