Paking ticket from euro car parks

Hi, I wonder if anybody have any experience or knowledge of similar problem.
This morning have received a parking ticket for staying at carpark for local small supermarket.  The rules are that 30 minutes are free, no return for an hour.  On the ticket it states that my car was parked there for 9 hours 10 minutes when in reality it was 2 very short stays with 9 hours between them.  All the prove they provided was 2 grainy photos of my number plate.  No pictures of the car in the car park - that would not even be the same spot. There is absolutely no chance I would have left my car there for 9 hours and walked home to return back late at night. How do I go about proving that they are in the wrong? And are there any chances of proving that?  I would be greatfull for any ideas!
