Show Chicago Cops Have System Outwitting Overtime Parkers CHICAGO. Policemen here have come up with a trick that offenders haven't yet been able to outguess. Until recently, traffic policemen marked the tires of parked cars with chalk. If a car bearing the chalk marks was still in the stall when the policeman returned after the allowed period of parking, the motorist would receive a ticket. But the drivers got smart. They would erase the chalk mark and pretend innocence when accused of overstaying their time. So, the policemen took to putting peanuts under the wheels of parked cars. If the police returned and found the peanut intact, the violators viola-tors were tagged. |
