Just curious, what city? And did you try to appeal? That seems crazy.

Especially since the RDW (local equivalent of the DMV) has my address on file and I lived right across the street. All they had to do was ring the bell and ask me to move my car. Hefty fine too, 140 guilders at the time (70 Euros or so today).

    What happened with the appeal? I know Dutch law is not the same as common law, but it would seem that this would be something that could be overturned higher up the chain.

      It might have but the problem is that you're going to be throwing good money after bad and you might still end up paying. Pick your battles. After getting a lawyer give me a quote I decided that maybe an appeal is not the best use of my resources. FWIW he thought it could have been won.

        I understand. I took a parking ticket to appeal myself and it was financially a huge lose (I won the case). I justified going forward only as a self-education experience. I did learn a lot so maybe it was worth it - this is what I tell myself anyway :)
