SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (WTHR) – A child, a paper shredder and envelope full of cash. You know where this story is going.

Ben Belknap is a huge Utah Utes football fan.

When his parents bought him season tickets, he and his wife Jackee decided to pay them back.

So they saved up enough cash and put it in an envelope to give to them in person.

This past weekend, though, the envelope disappeared.

After tearful consideration, Jackee realized her son Leo had shredded the money – more than $1,000.

Luckily, the Belknaps could get it all back through a government department dedicated to mutilated money.
