OK but what about that shitty mall that charges for parking and gives private parking tickets?

I didn't pay a couple of private tickets, over ten years passed, and so far I have been fine, but I'm not a lawyer...

You inspired me to do a little research on my local shitty mall and it turns out they didn't get city permission for their little scheme, so all they can do is send you demands for payment, and if you get a bunch of fake tickets in 12 months they can threaten to tow.

Since I go there only a couple of times a year, sounds like I get free parking.

I'd only be worried if they were willing to send it to collections, that can hit your credit. Even a small thing can fuck up your credit

They don’t have your SSN. How are they going to report it?

Even if they learn the registered owner, doesn’t prove who got the “ticket” and unlike a real ticket they can’t hold it over you with the DMV.

Was just calling out something to think about at least

Interesting. What country is that?

Here (USA) I think if a mall tried that it would be suicide. They are already struggling to get enough customers against online shopping and many malls and some major retail stores are going out of business.
