The following is a true story: One evening after office hours in Hartwick Pines State Park (Michigan) I saw a RV pull in and hook up, The entire family (A fairly large one) used showers and such,, and then early in the morning before the office opened they left.. of course they never registered or paid the camping fee.
About an hour before they left,, The park manager arrived (Way before the office opened) and inventoried the park, He wrote down ALL the license plates of RV which were not already registered (And likely a few that were).
He then compared his list to the registration list in the office,,, And crossed off those who had paid.. As others registered throughout the morning he crossed them off.
The ones who had, well, let's be honest, ripped off the park.... Well.. the crime is called Defrauding an Inkeeper.. And it is a very serious offense.
