Is a cracker box safer than a bank? Maybe so, even if the box gets lost!

Updated

Perhaps it pays to buy organic...A family shopping at Whole Foods brought home a box of Annie's Sour Cream and Onion Cheddar Bunnies and instead of cheese crackers inside found an envelope with $10,000. The funds turned out to be the life savings of an elderly woman who had such mistrust for banks these days that she was stashing her money in her pantry. Her problem was that she returned the wrong box of crackers to the store.

At first glance, this story sounds like the tale of a nice family that wasn't duly rewarded. At least, the punchline is that the family gave this woman back her life savings and all they got was a lousy box of crackers -- no thank you or reward.
