Anyone that lives downtown, in London, or anywhere that requires parking permits or meters will appreciate this latest contraption from Restoration Hardware. This Parking Meter Alarm is absolutely perfect for those of us that have a difficulty keeping track of how much time we have left on those pesky meters. No more running up to the parking attendant screaming, "What?! It's 3:39 already? NO! I'm only late by TWO MINUTES!!!" as they laugh and write you a ticket.
The Parking Meter Alarm alerts you when your time is almost up, functions as a key ring, and has a spring loaded coin holder that can hold ten American quarters, which is the UK equivalent of about 12, ten pence coins. Plus you can always stuff it with as many £1 coins that will fit! It uses a 24 hour countdown alarm, and only uses one cell button battery. This handy little parking buddy will only cost you $12, which beats paying for a parking ticket any day.
$12 from Restoration Hardware
One cell button battery included
