Daily Lemon: Parking ticket record

.......[Picture credits]

Parking ticket record - SEK 11 million!
The municipality of Malmoe in the South of Sweden are frustrated over an enormous debt for unpaid parking fines. More than SEK 57,000,000:- (approx. USD 8,200,000:-) are owed by the good citizens of Malmoe. And if that was not bad enough, it turns out that four people alone have amassed a hefty SEK 11,000,000:- (approx. USD 1,500,000:-) in debt to the community. Since these four people do not have any assets (at least on paper) the municipality are virtually helpless and see little chance of collecting the much needed cash. One way of getting some money is impounding and selling the perp's vehicles. Some 50 cars have thus been processed during the past year, but it has done little to fill the tresury, since most offenders cars are worth very little.

The four offenders with the biggest debt to the community have been named by the local paper, Sydsvenska Dagbladet, perhaps in hope they'll be ashamed and finally pay up to get off the list. I don't really see how that is going to work, but I'll try and help by letting you know who they are, too. Here they are, in order of debt:

1. Osama Alaiyan owes SEK 5,000,000:- (approx. USD 717,000:-)
2. Majid Mohammad owes SEK 2,800,000:- (approx. USD 401,000:-)
3. Yasser Mahdi owes SEK 2,400,000:- (approx. USD 344,000:-)
4. Nabiel Gad El Haq owes just under SEK 1,000,000:- (approx. USD 143,000:-).

Now, if you happen to run into any of these jerks, don't let them borrow your car...
