The ticket also had an address that didn't correspond to where the car was parked.

The officer had seen this trick before, however, and issued the trickster a $100-fine. "I know this game," she wrote, also suggesting that it happens pretty often around the city.

That sure is sneaky, Toronto, but just not sneaky enough.
