Rear number plate obscured

I recently parked at an airport hotel car park I have used on many occasions which has always had the barriers up but much to my despair this time parking eye now have cameras at the entrance and exit. I parked any way as I never pay the invoices they have sent in the past from other car parks I have used. I was just wondering if I will actually receive one this time as they will have a picture of my front number plate entering but not my rear number plate leaving as there was a large delivery vehicle less than a few inches from the rear of my car following me out, it was impossible for the camera to pick up my number plate and there where no other cameras in the car park, so as far as I'm concerned they would still think I'm in the car park, assuming the pcn is generated automatically as soon as you leave .

    Just go in next week with your front plate covered and exit again to see if you get a ticket for overstaying.

    I wouldn't be the slightest bit concerned! I would be thinking along the same lines as Kite2010, about he fun that could be had by trying to generate a fake PCN saying you were there a week/month/year!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I wouldn't do anything at all - leave the thick sods scratching their heads and wondering if they should send for Mulder and Scully :-)
