If you hold a coin halfway into some older parking meters for a while, it will think its slot is jammed and registers "out of order." Most cities won't ticket an an out of order meter. Free parking. All day.

"Most"? I haven't seen a parking meter in years that without "tickets issued at broken meters" on the label.
