This story is amazing. How could the Zoo or the government not realize an individual collecting all that money for so many years? Congrats to him

Wow is all I have to say. This guy was a clever entrepreneur that knew his way around the system. He designed a parking ticket machine on his own and collected money through his creativity. Now, the guy is sitting somewhere retired with a lot of money from putting together something so small that made him so much money. What a very clver guy and I was going to ask the same question too. Is what he did illegal? Because if this guy was making this much money, there has to be ome way it was regulated, apparently not.

This is a great idea! Its strange that nobody caught on till he did not show up one day! I think thats a smart man! I wonder if he ever showed back up?

That is crazy! He is a lucky/smart guy. I would imagine with the turnover that a zoo has, by the 5th year on the job, most of the workers around him were new and didn’t really know the difference.

Pretty smart guy!

This is just proves that no one really pays attention to the small things. It surprises me that this man was able to do this for 25 years and no one even think about if it is legit or not. If I were him, I would have bumped the price up a euro or so every couple of years!!

I hesitate the new’s credibility. Does he need to pay some money back to the Zoo or City Council organization?
But I also heard some similar news before. Some beggers in China also can build a beautiful apartment by the income from collecting garbages.
That also lead me to think that entreprenurs need to pay attention on areas that are always ignored by people. Big chances may be there.

Wow!! This man is a genius. He collected so much money by just using his brain. He is so clever. Who would have thought of such an idea?!

This is definitely illegal in the States. A man tried doing something similar in New York. He opened up a closed parking garage and started operating it. The cops soon after arrested him and charged him on multiple charges.
