This Happened to Me Once

Israeli woman mistakenly junks $1 million mattress - Las Vegas Sun: "An Israeli woman mistakenly threw out a mattress with $1 million inside, setting off a frantic search through tons of garbage at a number of landfill sites, Israeli media reported Wednesday.

The woman told Army Radio that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise on Monday and threw out the old one, only to discover that her mother had hidden her life savings inside. She was identified only as Anat, a resident of Tel Aviv."

I can't believe someone would put their money in a mattress. I put my money in safe places like the stock market!
