A Florida school got its TI-83 calculator back in the mail 20 years late. No note, no name, just "the class of 2006." Nobody owes a dime.

Folks, somewhere out there is a graduate with a clean conscience and one less thing in the junk drawer. Lincoln Park Academy in Fort Pierce, Florida, received what the principal called "a really odd package," WPBF reports. Inside was a TI-83 Plus calculator that apparently went home with a member of the class of 2006. No note, no name, no explanation. The sender was identified only as "the class of 2006." Principal Michelle Herrington did notice the postage: "They paid a lot of money to send this calculator back to us. The postage was almost $10." The calculator is etched "LPA123," a marking from a teacher who labeled her calculators, and the tracking number traces to a post office in Palm Bay. Former students have been tagging classmates on social media, and someone suggested the class vote on who most likely did it. Nobody has claimed it. Now, for the nervous party wondering about trouble after all these years, the principal has a message: "They will not. And there is no obligation list and no money that is owed." The school plans to put it on display. "I think it's something that we're going to keep sacred and special," Herrington said. Here's the landing, folks: that calculator was built to solve for x. Twenty years later it solved a better problem. Somebody decided late beats never and paid almost ten bucks to prove it.
