Sometimes it’s easy to delay paying off the bills for a week or two, but I still make sure everything gets paid on time. Today’s slacker pays off his debts too….it just took 27 years to pay off an old parking ticket. Better late than never.
From Yahoo! news:
WAUKESHA, Wis. - A $1 parking ticket from 1980 has been paid off, after the offender sent the payment along with a $3 late fee to police — without giving a name.
“It’s kind of cool that someone took the time to take care of their obligation after 26 years,” police Capt. Mike Babe told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for a story posted online Monday. “Maybe their conscience got to them.”
The signature on the money order used to pay for the ticket is not legible, and the return address reads: “Someone who keeps way too many old papers way too long.” The envelope carried a Chicago postmark.
State transportation records show that the license plate number on the ticket is inactive.
Waukesha stopped using parking meters in 1989, a city official said.
