that's what i was getting at. it's unlikely the cop was staking out your car and the exact moment you left it, but more likely it was just a shitty coincidence. so i agree you should contest the ticket, but i don't at all think it merits being 'disgusted,' and, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, once a cop starts writing the ticket, they can't just get rid of it.

i've actually even run out once to move my car to find it getting booted, and despite my begging and crying, nothing could be done. and the guy wasn't trying to be a jerk either, just doing his job.
