You will steal a council rubbish bin and sell it on Ebay to get your money back, or something similar? Is that what you mean?

I think that is where they are "right"
"* Was it in a CPZ? If so, the restrictions only need to be posted at the zone boundary not at each set of bays."
I went back to check. So this is Kensington and Chelsea. There are only Yellow Sign Posts on Kings Road but nothing on the side streets.
As can be seen below. A and B are where the yellow signs are. P is where the car was parked.

This is called the Observation Period.
I think this is worth a read

Observation period:
An observation period is an amount of time during which a
vehicle is monitored to ensure that it is complying with the
appropriate restrictions. Observation periods are split into two
types; casual and constant.
• Casual observation takes place when a CEO notes the times
when a vehicle has been observed but does not specifically
monitor the vehicle.
• Constant observation takes place when a CEO remains at
the location and monitors the vehicle for a specified period
to establish whether a contravention is occurring.

The whole of RBKC is a single CPZ.This means parking on a single yellow during controlled hours is prohibited.

Blacklands Terrace is in the blue zone, so Saturday afternoon is a no-no.
That is why it pays to do some prior homework when visiting London.
If you had parked south of the Kings Road in, say, Turk's Row you would have been fine.
The Saturday restriction there ends at 1.30pm. The boundary between the zones is round the corner in Franklins Row.
Have a look at the other side of the sign...
I received a ticket from Westminster council in the mid 90's
On the back of the ticket was a few lines of legal stuff including something like:
Getting ticket = authorised to be clamped
Getting clamped = authorised to be towed
So in theory you could be ticketed, clamped and then towed in less than 5 mins if you were having a bad day
I can only assume things have got worse since then!
