A mysterious motorist calling himself Dave said he had been carrying a $2 ticket for parking in a restricted zone since 1974.

A man named Dave has paid a parking ticket in Pennsylvania - 44 years after he got it. Police in Minersville, in Schuylkill County, received a handwritten note from Dave confessing that he had an unpaid parking ticket - along with a $5 bill. The ticket, for parking in a restricted zone, was from 1974 and was for $2.

The letter said: "Dear PD, I've been carrying this ticket around for 40+ years. Always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don't give you my info. With respect, Dave."

The return address said: "Feeling guilty, Wayward Road, Anytown, Ca." Police Chief Michael Combs said he was blown away that someone would keep a ticket this long, let alone pay it, according to CBS Philly.
