Outside England’s Bristol Zoo is a parking
lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant.  The fees were 1 pound sterling for cars, 5 for  buses.

One day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he didn’t show up, so the zoo management called the city council and asked it to send them another  parking agent.

The council researched, then replied that the parking lot was the zoo’s own responsibility.  The zoo advised the council that the attendant was a city employee.  The council responded that the lot attendant had never  been on the city payroll.

Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on
the coast of Spain (or some such scenario), is a man who’d apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own, then simply begun to show up every day, collect and keep parking fees, estimated at about $560 per
day–for 25 years.

Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million!
……
And no one even knows his name.
