Weird news of the day
by Volker Weber
A Melbourne council has explained how one of its parking officers issued a fine to a man who had been dead in his parked car for several days. Maroondah City Council parking officers stuck the fine on the windscreen of the man's car on Wednesday at the Croydon Market shopping centre in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs. A police spokeswoman confirmed that police discovered the deceased man, 71, yesterday and found a parking ticket on the windscreen of his car. He had been reported missing to police nine days ago and was known to be seriously ill. Maroondah mayor Paul Denham said in a statement today that the parking officer had not noticed the man when he attached the parking fine to the windscreen.

"I told him to move three times and he wouldn't budge, so I closed his eyelids and gave him a ticket."
Definitely a case for the "Not my job" award...
