A parking ticket collection apparatus for use with a motor vehicle including a body having an opening and comprising container means for holding at least one ticket. The container means comprises a mid-portion, a first portion extending longitudinally from the mid-portion in one direction, and a second portion extending longitudinally from the mid-portion in another direction, opposite the one direction. The first portion comprises a top end and the second portion comprises a bottom end. An opening on the top end of the container comprises first slot means of a size adapted to permit the insertion of a ticket therethrough. The second portion comprises a bottom end which constitutes portal means and which is mounted on the container means for movement between an open and a closed position and which comprises means normally preventing the removal of the ticket from the container means when the bottom end is in the closed position and for permitting the removal of the ticket from the container means when the bottom end is in the open position. The vehicle body opening comprises second slot means of substantially the same size and configuration as the first slot means. The apparatus is preferably mounted in the trunk area of the motor vehicle wherein the first slot means is in substantial alignment with the second slot means to permit the insertion of the ticket into and through the second slot means and the first slot means and into the container means. Ticket-guiding means is provided of a size adapted to fit into the second slot means and into the first slot means for guiding the ticket into the container means. The apparatus preferably has a rectangular cross-sectional area and has the approximate dimensions of 101/8 inches long, 53/4 inches wide, and 11/2 inches deep. Drainage means is provided in the bottom end for preventing the accumulation of moisture and debris therein.
