Utah boys give police ‘envelopes full of cash' found at high school track meet
The envelopes were found near the Mountain View High School stadium during a track meet and were still wet from Tuesday's rain, officials said. The department said they praise the adolescents' honesty in turning the money over.
While no one has claimed the cash as of yet, there are a few clues from the envelopes. The name 'Anderson' and the words '2011 Sienna' were written on the outside of the Chase Bank-branded envelope. Police say anyone who claims the money is theirs needs to 'be prepared to verify all kinds of information.'
Police did not reveal the total amount of money inside, saying anyone who claims it will need to confirm they know the missing amount first. Police said false claims will be punished by 'written essay.'
Many of the comments on the department's post praised the young boys for turning the envelopes in, writing, 'Nice to know there are still good people in this world' and 'We should all be proud of those two honest kids.'
'One thing I'll always defend is that there are a LOT of good people in [the] Orem area,' one commenter wrote.

Pirates Under Fire For Directly Marketing Team To Children
PITTSBURGH—Detailing the harmful, long-term effects of early exposure to the ball club's dismal on-field product, parents and child safety organizations denounced the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday for directly marketing the team to children. 'It is deeply irresponsible to lure kids into becoming Pirates fans before they're emotionally equipped to handle the kind of disappointment and chronic underperformance this franchise will almost certainly inflict on them,' said National Child Safety Council spokesperson Rebecca Amoroso, adding that targeted giveaways, cartoon mascots, and Pirates-branded youth merchandise effectively glamorized futility, setting up kids for a lifetime of frustration and terrible baseball. 'The team knows that no sane adult would willingly become a Pirates fan, so they have to go after minors. They hook children early because they know the cycle of hope and despair is addicting, and if young kids start watching games, there's a good chance they'll grow up to be season-ticket holders. They know that Pirates fandom is linked to depression, anxiety, and even suicidal ideation, but they don't care. Their business model depends on turning innocent, impressionable kids into sullen, dead-eyed adults who pound IC Lights and scream at the TV night after night about the team's abysmal offense once again letting a strong pitching performance go to waste. It's unconscionable.' Amoroso went on to urge parents to think twice before taking kids to a Pirates game, suggesting safer alternatives such as rooting for literally any other team in the National League Central.
