As noted in earlier discussions on this topic, the procedure that works best is to:
1. Do nothing until you get your first late notice, which also contains an automatically generated hearing date. 2. Go to that hearing or follow the instructions to change the hearing date to one that fits your schedule. 3. Appeal in person. Bringing your resident friend and citing the permit number would both be good ideas.
It's not necessarily right or fair or logical, but it is what works.
BTW, a "grace period" only works if the PCO saw you pull up. If you park and run in to get a visitor permit and the PCO turns the corner after you've exited your car, then he/she can have no idea of when you arrived. (I don't know, of course, whether that's what happened in your case. The PCO may in fact have seen you exit the car and just assumed you weren't returning.)
