I too have come back and found tickets that should not have been there. (Well OK, one that I know shouldn't have been there). I checked the time after I put in the money, and left. When I came back I found a ticket on my windshield, with the time 10 minutes before the meter should have expired. [It should have expired 3 minutes before I got back]. There was no sign of the meter person, and I was in a BAD mood from having had to deal with other arms of the university prior to that, So I dropped a quarter in the envelope with a very nasty note pointing out that the ticket was in error, and I would contest it if they weren't happy with the quarter (Far more than they actually deserved). I actually got a letter of appology, and the quarter back a few weeks later. I don't think the parking nazis themselves are the least bit reasonable, but there is someone with more sense the gravel somewhere in the hierarchy.
