Citizen Scandal: Chicago Couple Receives Parking Ticket For $9.5 Million

A couple in suburban Chicago was given a parking ticket for $9.5 million. Want to guess why? Answer after the jump!

A) A meter maid recognized that the car belonged to Bill Ayers.

B) A meter maid recognized that the car belonged to Lou Piniella.

C) The “ticket” was actually a scrawled message from Kanye West (“I HATE YOU!!! LOOK AT MY AWESOME CAR!!! YOU KNOW I HAVE PLACES TO BE!!! YOU OWE ME $9.5 MILLION DOLLARS!!!”), left after they double parked in front of his Mercedes-Benz.

D) Computer error.

If you guessed, D, you’d be boring and correct. The amount charged, $9,501,071, just happens to be the same number on the license plate of Barbara and Lee Mitchell‘s car. Ironically, they weren’t supposed to be fined at all—just warned about leaving their car downtown too long. Needless to say, the charges have been revoked. Said West, “LOL!!! THAT SHIT IS CRAZY!!! CHICAGO!!!!”
