Utah boys give police ‘envelopes full of cash' found at high school track meet
OREM, Utah (ABC4) — Police are searching for the owner of two envelopes full of cash after a 12 and 13-year-old found the money and turned it over to officers, according to the Orem Police Department. 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. Envelopes of cash found by two boys in Orem.
