Question

Toby McAllister was in a bind, he had found out of some illegal actions but he needs to know how they were perpetrated in order to keep his job as a private investigator. Can you figure out how the two following crimes were perpetuated?

1. A woman set up a fake parking spot in order to not get towed away. This fake spot consisted of the normal two white lines at a regulation distance. However these lines were some how both completely portable and made no mark on the ground. How did she accomplish this feat?

2. A clay sculptor who wanted to park at a parking meter didn’t have the correct change for the time he wanted to stay... he had a dime and a penny; he needed a dime and a nickel. What did he do to alter the penny in order to fool the parking meter? (Hint: yes, he has some clay with him)

Can you help Mr. McAllister solve these crimes and keep his reputation? (P.S Both there methods of breaking the law are not recommended and illegal)
