Dear Idiot,
For future reference 'Kodiak Shovel' is not considered a 4-digit number. I can see how you could make this mistake… no, wait… actually I can't. The box was very clearly labeled '4-digit equipment number', it seems to me like there was absolutely no room to misinterpret this, but apparently I was wrong. Not only will we be forwarding charges for the labour associated with having to jump through hoops to find out who you are, but in the mean time we will also be forwarding you a ticket for the bylaw violation for which we needed your EQPT number to nullify. Rest assured, despite the reason code on your ticket it is purely for your stupidity.
A lesson to the public in the future: I'm not paid to decipher your crappy printing, chase you down to get your information, or use my psychic powers to complete your half-filled out forms. If you're trying to pay your taxes/permit fees/tickets/whatever try filling out the forms correctly - and don't phone to yell at us when your bill goes into collections because your half-assed attempt at paying it on time fails due to your inability to read instructions (or ask for help) or print clearly the information we require.
Seriously, if you take your time and do it right the first time it will be better for all involved.
