Kids find Playoff Yankee Box Seat Tickets then return them

[Champ]

SUMMIT, N.J. (AP) - Talk about temptation: box-seat tickets for New York Yankees playoff games lying on the street.

Not for these nine youngsters. They just gave the tickets to the police.

"It's a real tribute to their honesty and total integrity," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said Friday in a statement through spokesman Howard Rubenstein.

The tickets belonged to Wachovia bank. Only four of 70 tickets in a package worth $20,000 that apparently fell off a delivery truck Monday are still missing, Wachovia bank spokeswoman Fran Durst said.

"I am absolutely amazed by their honesty," Durst said. "What a temptation, just to take these tickets and go to the game. But they did the right thing."

Since the tickets - some worth $2,600 each - are for bank customers, the bank will treat the boys and their parents to a New Jersey Nets game Dec. 10 against New Orleans from its luxury box at the Continental Airlines Arena, Durst said.

6. I'm glad the kids turned the tickets in

but really, what other choice did they have? They must have known it would look pretty odd if they showed up for the game in seats that didn't belong to them.

Still, Nets tickets? What a fucking ripoff....par for the course for Herr Steinbrenner
