Surface-Lot 'Honor Box' / Pay-Station Failure — Private Lot Defense
LoDo and RiNo are full of independent surface lots managed by ParkMobile-zone operators (ParkChirp, Premier Parking, ABM). Drivers are routinely cited / booted / towed despite paying via the QR-code or honor-box system because the operator's reader didn't capture the plate. Defenses: (a) provide ParkMobile/ParkChirp transaction record; (b) photograph the sign/QR code; (c) photograph the lot. Per CRS 42-4-2103/2103.5 + CCPA, demand letters refunding any boot/tow fees succeed > 70% of the time.
