Mom Debra Rogoff was more curious than ecstatic about her daughter's (Sandra Rogoff) finding $10,000 in $100 bills in the green box of Annie's Sour Cream and Onion Cheddar Bunny crackers on Oct. 10 2008.

The family called police and was initially told the money could be part of a drug drop. 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. In a mix-up the store restocked the box rather than composting it. The Rogoffs never heard from the woman thereafter nor received any reward. VIA
