Chars Life and Times

A family in Irvine, California brought home a box of crackers and it had $10,000 in a white envelope in it. What a shock! They didn’t feel right in just spending it, so they called the local police who thought the money might be part of a drug deal. 

The police heard from the grocery store who said that a hysterical older woman had come in earlier, totally upset because she had accidentally returned a box of crackers with her life savings in it. The store had restocked the box instead of destroying it as it usually does. Evidently, the California family had purchased that gold mine of crackers. 

I guess the elderly lady wasn’t that grateful about getting her money back, as the California family didn’t hear from her and didn’t even get a small reward. That’s a shame. They should have gotten something for being so honest and not spending the money. Instead, they called the officials and returned the money to its rightful owner.
