Parking ticket removed from windscreen

As far as I understand a parking fine doubles if you don't pay it within a certain period of time, is this correct?

What I want to know is what happens when a stranger removes the ticket for a laugh unknown to you. Will you have to pay the greater fine?

A friend of mine parked his car on a quiet country road in the middle of nowhere, half on the verge. When I arrived later on I noticed that his and 4 or 5 other cars had tickets on them. When we were leaving the next day, no car (including his) had a ticket on it. Maybe the police changed their mind (yeah right), or someone else has removed it.

The fine will not double what happens is in most places is that if you pay within 3 day of the fine then you only pay about 1/2 the fine. If the ticket has been removed eventually a letter will come from the court saying you have not paid your fine, if you then inform the court that the ticket must have been removed as you had not received it then they will issue another which must be paid straight away.

are you sure its because you don`t want to pay?! i tried that excuse once but the photographic evidence didn`t prevent the fine and i still had to pay! the fine doesn`t double but halves if paid early. trust!

Believe it or not it is actually the truth.

So homer just to clarify, when they issue another ticket he will be able to pay the half fine?
