There's Cash in My Crackers!

An Orange County, California family found $10,000 stashed in a box of crackers they bought at Whole FoodsImagine heeding the call of a craving for some Annie's Sour Cream and Onion Cheddar Bunny crackers and opening the box to find $10,000 in cash instead. It happened to a Tustin family, who had bought the box of crackers at their local Whole Foods. Instead of being greedy, though, the Rogoff family brought the cash to the cops, who thought at first it could be part of a drug drop. According to abc7.com,

Police later heard from store managers at Whole Foods in Tustin that an elderly woman had come in a few days earlier, hysterical because she had mistakenly returned a box of crackers with her life savings inside. The Lake Forest woman, whose identity was not released, had lost faith in her bank and decided the box would be a safer place for the $10,000.
Once the cash was returned to its rightful owner, the Rogoffs "never heard from the woman and didn't receive a reward," but instead went on with their lives. Well, they did actually ask for one thing out of the whole incident: A fresh box of crackers. They got it.
