Holy mackerel. How much guilt are you dealing with when you pay a parking ticket 32 years after you get it?
Police in this Upper Peninsula town had forgotten about the $1 parking ticket written on Sept. 1, 1976. But the woman who had found it on her windshield hadn’t.
The ticket, a $20 bill and a note arrived at police headquarters last month in a plain white envelope with no return address.
The note read: “I always had good intentions of paying it. I put it aside and every once in a while I would come across it and said ’someday I’m going to pay it.’ Now I think it’s time.”
How many times do you look at a $1 parking ticket and think about paying it? Seriously? She must have been dealing with some serious guilt to make her send $20 and a not that asks them not to track her down. Respectable, I’m not sure, but forgetful, yes.
