Clearly the parking attendant was trying it on, aware that a certain

You can *try* anything you like. But you would be wasting your time.
It will lead only to frustration and possibly a loss of money. There
are more worthwhile "causes" to spend your efforts on.

If you want to create waves, make sure that you get evidence that the
car park was indeed free after 17:30 on the day in question. It is
not unheard of for rules and signs to be changed retrospectively.
