A football fan described how he lost the money he and his wife had set aside to buy tickets to a game. As match day came, their reserved funds were no longer in place. They discovered it in the most unlikely area, all due to a smart incident. Jackie and Ben Belknap had saved $1,060 for football tickets for a year. They also had a kid, who frequently helped his mother shred unpleasant letters with a shredder.

The couple unexpectedly misplaced an envelope containing money. Jackie discovered the money in the shredder while searching. Certainly, this story has no humor, but Ben attempts to remain optimistic. “Deep down, I hope that one day all of this will seem funny,” the man says. However, not all may be lost.

Citizens can send damaged bills to the US Department of Treasury to have their value restored. However, the process might take up to three years. Good luck to Ben and Jackie! And, as you can see, leaving children alone with shredders can lead to disastrous consequences!
