DON''T BE A VICTIM ... READ ON ...

This is a true case happened to me on 29/11/07 and I thought it may prevent you to be a victim ....

I was issued a summon 3080708160394 by MBAJ , Pandan Indah, K Lumpur for not displaying parking ticket at Jalan Pandan 2/3 on 16-Aug-07

I am sure I did not make the offence as I do not know the address nor the whereabout. Moreover, I was in the office and had a Department meeting at 10.00am (or slightly later) on 16 Aug 2007.

So, I called up MPAJ office to clarify and was told that a photo was taken which bear my car number plate.

Knowing that I am innocent, I have to proof "the car" do no belongs to me at the scene of the offence. So I did the followings:-
1) Check my parking record at B1. The time my car drove into B1 on 16Aug2007 was recorded at 7.33 am
2) Unfortunately, there is no record on my car went out. (The maintenance department has de-activated the out gate sensor).
3) I went to MPAJ and witness the photo. I saw something unique as follows:-
3.1) The photo shown was black and white and very blurr but it look like my car .... I have to make up the number plate that looks like mine.
3.2) The shape of the number plate was square in size whereas my number plate is rectangular in size.
3.3) The front screen looks blurr at the driver side but my car has a very clear track ( 10 mm ) of loosen film run scross the front right screen
3.4) The front left screen do not have any sticker which I have 5 of them

Thank god, the officer bought my story and believed that "the car" used my registration number for their own purpose.

The lesson learnt was that you have to proof you are innocent and was not at the scene, otherwise, you may just pay the summon and forget it.

However, what if there is a crime involved your number plate..
" Water wash also cannot get clear la .... "

Some of the preventive measures are:-
1) Take some of photo your car... indicate any significant marks e.g. some unique sticker on the windscreen etc

So, please take some preventive action today !! Forward this email to your friends !!!
