Remember back when (almost) everyone was in the holiday spirit and poor 'ol Saint Nick got a ticket for double parking? And then he fought that ticket because everyone knows there really is no Santa Claus? Well, he lost the fight. Santa, real-life retired school teacher Chip Cafiero, says he got word of the crushing defeat on Friday. Last November the 60-year-old had double parked to hand out gifts from a horse-drawn carriage (uh oh) at a Marty Markowitz-sponsored event. He says the city can take his $115, but they'll never take his Christmas spirit (and they're totally going on the Naughty List).





They really need to publish the name of the ticket agent who wrote this.
Exactly. They are all assholes. Do the city a favor and clip them with your fender when you see them writing a ticket.
Not that I'm siding with the city, but as he was double parked and the event didn't arrange appropriate parking space for the carriage that would be reserved on the day then really they don't have anyone to blame but themselves.
