The next couple of days would be good to get a Boston parking ticket

Anybody who gets a parking ticket in Boston today, tomorrow or Saturday can pay for it with a toy, specifically, "a non-violent, unwrapped toy of equal or greater value than the ticket fine."

Sorry, hydrant parkers and handicap-space violators, the city's annual Toys for Tickets program excludes you, as well as people caught double-parking or in crosswalks or fire lanes.
