(f)        For the purpose of determining whether an illegally parked vehicle has been issued three (3) or more overdue parking tickets which have remained unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days, it shall be sufficient if the license plate number and/or the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the illegally parked vehicle and the license plate and/or VIN of the vehicle appearing on the tickets are the same.

 

(g)       It shall be unlawful for any unauthorized person, firm or corporation to remove from any vehicle a wheel lock placed thereon pursuant to this article without all civil penalties and applicable charges having first been paid. Unauthorized removal, or damage, may subject the violator to additional criminal penalties beyond this ordinance.
