Zachary Verrill's graduation party ended at about 8 p.m., but his mother, Tiffany Klink, didn't have time to check the card box until about 10:30 p.m.

When she did, she was horrified. Five or six cards were opened, and Zachary told her he hadn't opened them. Other cards that she knew had been put in the box, by people such as her brothers and a sister, were missing.

The cards that were opened had no money in them.
