In Australia, parking at popular beaches is both packed and crazy expensive, with day passes pushing $50, so there's a well-established tradition of giving your parking ticket to the guy waiting to swipe your spot as you pull out.

Of course, the councils running the parking didn't want to lose out, so they've "upgraded" to parking meters that require you to punch in your license plate number, which is then printed on the ticket in large letters to make sure it can't be reused.
