$1 parking ticket paid after 26 years

WAUKESHA, Wis. -- A $1 parking ticket from 1980 has finally 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 Captain Mike Babe said. "Maybe their conscience got to them."

The signature on the money order used to pay for the ticket is not readable, and the return address reads: "Someone who keeps way too many old papers way too long."

My bigest question here is why? what made him doing this? And, this guy has strong memory to remember this after 26 years.
