Don't do it: I tried it a few times and it almost never worked. The PN's
will
    a) check the date on the old ticket to make sure it's today's
    b) check the meter number
There were times when I got a ticket, had to go run an errand, came back
and parked in another spot with the old ticket on the windshield, and still
got another one. I *know* it's my own fault, but these people piss me off
to no end. There's certainly no excuse for these massive increases in
parking fees (remember when it used to be $0.25 an hour??), and lately
the tan-and-burgundy dweebs have become even more incompetent. All CU
lots should be open for night parking, at least the ones by academic buildings.

Ride a bike - it's better for your blood pressure.
