I was watching Pawn Stars last night on History Channel, it's the Las Vegas Pawn Shop run by three brothers. A guy brought in the driver's copy of a speeding ticket issued to Sammy Hagar for speeding in a 55 mph zone in a Ferrari.

For those who don't know, Sammy had a big hit in '84 "I Can't Drive 55". As it turned, they had an expert who said it was probably Sammy's signature, but it's only a copy of the ticket, the police have the real copy. The guy wanted $2,000 but they passed on buying.
