A couple is frustrated after their SUV was stolen from Montreal's South Shore in March and they received a parking ticket for the same vehicle last week.

"My wife went out and took a look at where the car was and we found the broken lock pieces of the door on the ground," said Oliver Frost, recounting the day his 2018 Honda CR-V was taken in Saint-Lambert.
Frost said police told him it was unlikely the vehicle would ever be found, but then the $156 parking ticket showed up in the mail. The vehicle was ticketed just seven kilometres from where it was stolen.
"I just found it strange that we received a ticket for a car that was stolen and that the car wasn't flagged in any system, and that made it a little bit frustrating because had it been flagged as stolen, we may have been able to retrieve it," he said.
