A Wausau, Wisconsin resident decided to leave a note on his car and walk home after having a few drinks out on the town. Luckily, this particular Wausau police officer took pity and only granted the driver a warning.

Check out the note and ticket below:

"Parking Control Officer Jim Hellrood can appreciate people making safe choices, and a good sense of humor," the police department said in a Facebook post. "That's why he recently issued a warning to a vehicle left in a metered lot overnight. Thanks to this resident for sharing!"

Good move by Officer Hellrood.
