ing ticket numbers each day and then subtracting them to get the number of tickets issued, but I wasn’t sure he could com- prehend what I was saying. I then discovered that if parkers “forgot” their monthly


cards, they could simply write their card number on the back of the ticket and they would be let out. I also found out it was common knowledge that all the cardswere numbered between 1001 and 2000. Strangely enough, it also turned out that few tickets were ever processed through the register for more than four hours (full daily max).All those, of course, had numbers on the back between 1001 and 2000. It didn’t take long for me to determine that for the five


consecutive days I audited, at least 75 daily max tickets were processed that had card numbers on them that had been used that day. These tickets were rated at “$0.00” but actually should have been charged at the full daily rate of $7.50.That’s more than $500 a day that was being stolen from this garage. That’s nearly $150,000 a year. I would have thought this cashier would have at least got-


ten off her rear andwalked to the card reader to let the cars out for that kind of pay. It’s no wonder the owner didn’t like to pay maintenance.


Hewas losing a ton ofmoney out of the garage every day.And not a person in sight could see there was any problemat all.
