Apparently the long arm of the law shows no favoritism, as Santa Claus…aka Sinter Klaas, Father Christmas.. and a host of other aliases, got a parking ticket in New York yesterday.
The erstwhile Santa was in town doing his good deed, passing out holiday toys from a horse drawn carriage, when a parking attendant dished out the115 dollar fine to him. The offense was the SUV that was following him in order to assure that the horse was protected.
Chip Cafiero was handing out toy, apparently al in the holiday spirit, when he was accosted by a parking attendant who didn’t find that passing out toys to poor kids was a good enough reason to park.
“This grinch just went ahead and fined me,” said 60-year-old Cafiero.
The gentleman added that he will be contesting the $115 (£74) ticket.
Guess you don’t have to be a psychic to know what THAT parking attendant gets for Christmas do you?
