Daily parking fees have a way of inspiring creativity, especially when employees must personally fund the privilege of showing up.

Rather than pay $10 every morning, one worker came up with an unusually physical method for concealing their vehicle’s identity.

Months of success have transformed a dark corner of the company garage into a private, unauthorized parking arrangement.

How long could this scheme go on?

I’ve been stealing parking from my work every day for months

My work charges $10/day for parking in the parking garage, which really adds up.

We are supposed to pay this out of our own pockets. But I don’t pay.

I found a parking spot on the bottom floor of the garage that is all the way in the corner.

It’s dark there and quite well hidden.

This man parks in a way where his car’s plate number cannot be seen.

Then, I back my car into the spot, put it into neutral, and push it gently until it rests against the wall.

The wall completely blocks my rear plate, and I have no front plate.

So the parking attendant, if they happen to walk all the way into that corner, cannot easily read my plate.

His coworkers complain about parking prices, but he doesn’t.

I see many of my coworkers complaining about the prices or showing parking tickets they got because they forgot to pay that day.

But so far, I have not gotten a ticket.

Eventually, I will get a ticket, I think.

At that point, I will not pay it and just start taking public transportation to work.

How long will this person be able to keep this free parking hack going?

Finally, short and straightforward.

OP backs into a hidden corner and manually pushes the car against a wall, completely concealing its only license plate.

The scheme has avoided months of parking fees, although OP plans to switch to public transportation once the inevitable ticket arrives.

Nothing says “secure parking solution” quite like quietly shoving your own vehicle into stealth mode before every shift.
