'How a motorist’s £75 parking fine opened up the greatest driver revenge ever – it cost the council THOUSANDS'
Decked out in tutu’s and glittery wings, the pair were soon hailed as the Parking Fairies.
They even bought an old meter cart and painted it bright pink as they went around carrying out their service in 1994.And because the authorities were still issuing tickets by foot, they couldn’t keep up with the two cunning sisters. At first the council thought the sisters antics were a big joke that wouldn’t last more than a couple of weeks but the donations kept pouring in.The parking fairies continued their work and in just one year the council lost over £80,000 in revenue.The Pacillo sisters became local legends, saving their neighbours from costly parking tickets and retired from their duties by dramatically burning their wings outside the City Hall.
The Pacillo family sold their gas station in 2003 and just six years later Linny died after battling muscular dystrophy and injuries from a car accident. She died at age 47 and in remembrance of the local hero, state legislators in Anchorage named a new parking garage after her in 2007.
