Sandra Geathers says she had no idea about the unpaid parking tickets her car’s been racking up. Since 1993.

She came home one day to find a boot on her Camry and a letter from the Philadelphia Parking Authority explaining it would cost $600 to free her car.

“The city is out of control,” the West Philly resident told Fox29. “They need to spend their time going after some real criminals and not someone like me.” Geathers says she never got the notice the PPA sent in January. And those decades-old unpaid tickets? They’re from her old car.
