Can I get a FINE for this?

Yesterday I stopped by the yellow lines with crosses at Bahnhof Enge since all the parking bays were occupied.

I got off the car for 2-3 minutes, picked something up from Sprüngli, rushed back to the car to leave.

As I was driving out, I saw that a parking inspector was on her way towards me from the left side. Driving away, I saw that she briefly looked at the car.

Can I get fined for this presuming that she might have noted my number plate?

OR did I get away with it in the nick of time as she had not produced a ticket?

Looking for feedback. Thanks!

If it was a yellow line interrupted with yellow X, it's just a no parking zone and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't hear from the police.

However if it was a yellow line like it can be found near pedestrian crossings (no standing zone) there's a slight chance that you'll recieve a fine by mail.

Thanks Nathu. That reassures just a little bit that I might just get away with it. It was a yellow line interrupted with yellow X's.

A colleague of mine mentioned that since they didn't produce a ticket they might have no way to prove it. I am not so sure though?!
