Restricted parking rules

Not very interesting I'm afraid, but just a bit of clarification needed.

Car is parked with a residents parking permit legally. Along come the local parking monkeys and put up a yellow sign stating no parking between this date and this date.

Car stays in it's bay as noone is at home to know this sign has been put up, then this morning the car gets taken away. Should there be a fine to pay even though the car was already there, or will it be a case of proving the car was already there. Would the council be obliged to take a photo of the space when the sign is put up to show what is in the space?

Thanks for the replys.

Signs were put up Friday or Saturday, car moved this morning. Not my car btw, a neighbour of mine who was with her family for Easter, I think she's back tomorrow.

Interested to see where we'd stand in this situation.

Thanks again.
