If it's a clerical error (someone mistyped the address for example) you may be able to get the whole thing dropped. Take pictures of your neighbors trash cans when they are out just to be safe.
I hate tickets that simply boil down to "How do you prove you *didn't* do something" when the enforcement method is specious to begin with.
At least with a speeding ticket, you've got a cop to question. The people whose Ski Resort Radio Transpoder which tripped an EZ-Pass toll gate (resulting in a ticket for an "invalid account") were provided "proof" which consisted of a photo of their license plate. They had paid the toll, but because they didn't ask for a receipt, (maybe even if they had) faced a choice of driving to Delaware or paying the fine.
If it's a clerical error, and they make you show up in court anyway, say they should pay *your* time. It *is* a false accusation after all.
Ask for a copy of the complaint
