Parking tickets

This post doesn't contain an exact quotation, but rather a general reaction that makes one wonder, "WHAT did you THINK would happen???"
One of my co-workers at the phone company was a man named Joe. He was very obese (not making fun of it, but it's a necessary component to this story) and a little cocky. He had a big white van specially outfitted for him to drive. Since it was a tough effort for him to walk any distance, he would park his van right in front of our building. He'd never feed the meter, and consequently would receive 2 or 3 parking tickets every day. He arrogantly declared he'd never pay the fines. He even proudly displayed the HUNDREDS (literally) of little yellow citations on top of his dash.
I, and other fellow employees, asked him why he just didn't go to apply for a handicap tag, so he could park in a designated space nearby, but he replied, "I don't want to deal with the hassle."
One day, you guessed it, the city finally got wise and impounded his van. His fines totaled $1500, and his judgment on this development was, "Who do they think they are? I need that van to get to work!!!"
He suddenly passed away a few weeks later, sans van, and the city never did get their money. A sad close to a very strange story!
