Orphan Boy Steals Envelope Full of Money from Old Man and Finds a Note Inside – Story of the Day

Scott was the stock boy at the supermarket, and he saw the chance to steal an envelope of cash from an older man. But there was a letter inside, and curiosity got the best of him. He started crying after reading the surprising letter and returned. But what he learned later was even more shocking.

“Excuse me, sir. Are you ok?” Scott asked the older gentleman he had just run into at the supermarket. It wasn’t an accident. He did it on purpose. He saw a thick envelope in the man’s pocket and wanted to nab it. So, he devised a plan and ran into the man “accidentally,” taking the envelope discreetly from the man’s pocket.

“Oh, yes, young man. Don’t worry,” the older man replied and continued shopping around the store. Scott gave him a side-look while walking away as it seemed like the man had not noticed what had happened at all. He was right. The older gentleman walked up the aisle with no clue that he had just been robbed blind.

Scott went to the back where his locker was located and counted the money in the envelope. It contained several thousands of dollars, and he was delighted. He was finally going to enjoy some of his life.

Scott was 18 years old and lived his entire life jumping from one foster home to another. He lasted longer with his last family, but they never adopted him and didn’t feel like close relatives at all. So, now he lived in a tiny studio apartment and barely lived paycheck to paycheck as the stock boy at the local supermarket in Indiana.

He wanted more money, but he had nothing. He almost didn’t graduate high school and resented the world for his current predicament. It wasn’t his fault that his birth parents abandoned him in an orphanage, and now, he was alone in the world to fend for himself. Stealing wasn’t ideal, but no one noticed. The rich old man probably wouldn’t miss the money.

Suddenly, he noticed a piece of paper inside the envelope and almost threw it away in the trash. But his curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to read it.

I know this money won’t make up for everything I did in the past, but I heard you desperately need it for your surgery. Please...
