Holy crap! I did exactly this little dance last week, when (after expending significant mental energy to remember) that little ticket told me where I was parked. Freaked me out, and started a train of thought. My train led to the same place yours did -- they scan the plate as you get the card, then drive the rows looking at plates. They didn't have my CC yet, so I felt it unlikely they were figuring out the plate that way; a camera on entry seemed easiest. On the way out I caught vehicles circling the lot that looked like they could provide the latter.
Given that Logan has been known to move cars around in LTP to allow for better packing and random construction, this could be vital; while I've never had my car moved, I've been warned that it might be -- something they apparently don't tell you any more -- and seen them shuffling. Given that hooking my current car up to a normal tow truck has a good chance of borking the whole transmission, not so happy with this idea.
