A Utah couple says their toddler shredded an envelope containing more than $1,000 in cash. Ben and Jackee Belnap consider themselves diehard Utah Utes football fans. They had been saving up cash to pay Bens parents back for University of Utah football season tickets. They had $1,060 in an envelope ready to go, when that envelope disappeared over the weekend. The parents started searching the house. After careful and tearful consideration, the couple realized their son Leo had shredded the envelope. Im digging through the trash and she hollers and says, I found it, Ben said. Shes holding the shredder and she says, I think the money is in here.' Jackee said their 2-year-old son, Leo, is familiar with their shredder. Leo helps me shred junk mail and just things with our name on it, or important documents we want to get rid of, she said. Leo thought he'd been helpful when he spotted the unfortunately-placed envelope of cash.

It turns out the couple might not be out all that money. There is a government office that deals with mutilated cash. I called the guy the next morning and he said, Oh, we might be able to help you here, and I was shocked, Ben said. He said, Bag it up in little Ziploc bags, mail it to D.C., and in one to two years, youll get your money back.


Well that was a happy ending.

That's why you don't borrow money from relatives, especially for something so frivolous.

i remember hearing about those guys in school or something where a dad buried like 50k in cash during the 80's in his backyard and his daughter in the 2000's found the money and she was able to recover like 40k of it.

Where did they keep the money, on the floor?

And how big is the toddler that he can operate a shredder? And why do they have it out there for a kid to play with like it's a toy?

What kind of shit shredder is that that they can just reconstruct it.

Because it's interesting

Why does that trigger you

How is it interesting?

Absolutely nothing in at least the OP's excerpts (or is that the whole article? I don't even want to click on the link) sounds remotely plausible.

The article itself isn't even well written.

The story is legit it isn't from a satire site. There are other sources covering it as well.

Examples of people who should never have children. This wasn't anything but the parents fault. They left the money out where the kid could grab it, you gotta put stuff up high if there is a munchkin running around. Also the fact that the kid somehow had access to where the shredder was? It is fine that you get little timmy help you shred things, but don't have it in an area where they can access it without you around.

Literally everything was the parents fault. If anyone deserves punishment it is the parents.

Ofc. The money should have been in a bank anyway.
