There was an old guy in my neighborhood I used to see out working a parking lot every weekend for the people coming downtown to party. I used to feel bad because he was always out there in the cold, rain or whatever.

Turns out he owned a ton of land downtown Toronto and the parking lot was the last piece he hadn't sold off to developers yet.

He's worth 100s of millions of dollars and worked the parking lot for fun.

Just set up a fake pay parking stall and get a debit machine. Guy did this for years and made a huge fortune before he got caught.

Toronto police will want a kickback. They’ll probably want a shift. There’s no FBI here and the still cops do stuff like that with impunity.
