What to put on the sign

β€œCITATION: Being way too cute to not ask. FINE: one HOCO yes, payable Saturday.”

One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.

The plan

Print a parking-ticket-style form and tuck it under their windshield wiper so they get that stomach drop for two full seconds before they read it. Fill in fake fields like a violation code and a fine amount. The bit only works if the layout looks real enough to fool them for a beat.
