IRVINE, Calif. (AP) -- A California woman found quite a prize in her box of crackers: an envelope with $10,000 in crisp $100 bills.
But Debra Rogoff didn't keep the cash, or even the crackers. She and her family thought they'd "never feel good" about spending someone else's money.
Police told them the cash may have been part of a drug drop. But Rogoff later heard the money belonged to an elderly woman who'd mistakenly returned the cracker box -- and her life savings -- to the store. She'd apparently lost faith in her bank and thought the box would be a safer place for her money.
The Rogoffs have never heard from the woman and didn't receive a reward, though Rogoff did return to Whole Foods a few weeks later. She says she asked for another box of crackers. The store obliged.
