A machine with a bunch of tiny little really sharp blades....perfect toy for a two year old. Hand him so scissors to run with too while you’re at it!

I’m waiting to hear about a go fund me account for this couple.  Why else does a story like this make the news?  Seriously, if this happened to you, would you be calling the news networks?

Well never mind the fact that the kid would have had to have gotten into the office and do it without anybody hearing.  Then he would have had to have been smart enough to pull the money out of the envelope and put it through a few bills at a time, because you know shoving through the whole stack would have jammed the thing.  Thus increasing the amount of times it would have made noise.  Not to mention, who is going to let a two-year-old out of their sight long enough to do it anyway.

The whole thing just sounds fishy to me.

Oh, I completely agree on all of it.  First thoughts were, damn must be a bad [BLEEP] shredder and whos watching this kid?  Also, why are you keeping money in a freaking envelope where a 2yr old can get to it?

Remind me again how much money one has to save to pay for University of Utah tickets.  They are currently on StubHub for $35 vs Arizona and $67 vs USC

Additionally, the Government actually funds a Department that does nothing but reassembles money that has been destroy in some manner.  It was shown on a segment of 60 Minutes a few months ago.

With any luck, a 2 year old would do what a 2 year old does, and jam the scissors into the shredder. Problem solved!

I don't think the electrical circuits extend to the shredder teeth, but you never know what a 2 year old can do.

Ever consider the idea that someone who is saving up to buying University of freaking Utah tickets, can't really afford a safe?

They do have these new-fangled things called bank accounts.

One of my older brothers way back in the day wasn't paying attention to his toddler and she flushed their food stamps (yeah, like actual paper food stamps) down the toilet.

It was hilarious
