As a former Montrealer I must admit this is truly a shame.
My 2cts is approach this veeery calmly so that they don't think you are an "angry touriste".
Most unfortunately is that you'd have to spend more time dealing with this crapola.
I wonder if your insurance company can intervene on your behalf... I mean if they paid you off technically the truck is theirs now...
Let me know if you need any assistance in the local Français I can help you with.

OMG! I'd be composing a nice letter to send to the major Montreal newspapers. Montrealers have to be concerned when their image takes a beating like this. I can't think of anything more ironic than getting a ticket on a stolen vehicle.

Right, I am working on a little "Note" as we speak.
I will call the court tomorrow and provide them with the police report case #, but bet they want all kinds of written stuff!

Here are some sources for you:
1) The Montreal Gazette
2) La Presse
3) Le Journal de Montreal
4) The Globe and Mail - Montreal edition

I have a contact with another newspaper (it's at the office), I mean a reporter. I'll pass it to you tomorrow.

Welllll, maybe ludicrous, that's as close to funny as losing $6000 can get, even given the stranger than fiction goings on!

I did! That's why they issued the parking citation TWO months after the violation. I just got tired of making the trip North with the booty!

There's a pun to be made with your flagrant usage of the word 'booty' in this context, but I cannot seem to come up with one.

You Hip Hop guys from Joisy, must realize that us Vienna Waltz guys from NH refer to the word "booty" in its original meaning. See to me it conjurs up a picture of a Pirate's treasure chest of ill gotten gains. I bet you can make mincemeat of that, too! :D
