MINERSVILLE, Pa. (CBS) - A driver in Pennsylvania paid a parking ticket 44 years after it was issued.

The Minersville Police Department in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania recently received a payment for a parking ticket from 1974. The ticket was for $2.

It also contained a hand written, "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 chief says he's blown away that someone would keep a ticket this long, let alone pay it.

He says he wants to meet the driver and thank him.
