River of Coins: How City Hall Turned Parking Meters Into $900K Theft

A parking meter pulled from the river held coins and a trail that led to $900,000 billed over four years - with city trucks, vendor invoices, and municipal logs all implicated; who in City Hall let this run for years without being stopped? The uncovering began with a birdwatcher finding a meter and ended with convictions, plea deals, and missing original crime-scene photos.
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events laid out in municipal logs, witness testimony, invoices, and internal memos to show how the mismatch between meter readings and deposits persisted, how an analyst’s footnote triggered scrutiny, and what questions remain about oversight and institutional knowledge.
Person: Stanley Hicks
Person: Laura Powell
