  No doubt.  :)

  I heard all sorts of stories/excuses when I was in parking but could
often tell from the persons body language, voice, etc if they were
telling the truth or not.
  I recall one time I was citing a car when the owner gave this long
story why they shouldn't get a ticket.  I listened politely and told them
(with a smile and chuckle) I was letting them go since in the all the
years I had been ticketing I had heard so many stories but this excuse
was a new one and they were getting off for originality.  :)
  (BTW, I hadn't printed the ticket yet and any time up to that point the
person could get away.  I didn't mention that).
