Dumped mattress lands cash in trash in
Israel
JERUSALEM (AFP) - - A stash of cash landed in the trash
when a woman in Israel dumped her mother's mattress not knowing it
was stuffed with the equivalent of about one million dollars.
Israeli media reported that the 40-year-old woman showed up at a
garbage dump in a panic on Tuesday, looking for the valuable
bedding.
She had bought a new mattress for her mother and, wanting the
gift to be a surprise, threw away the old one. She then found out
the decades-old mattress contained her mother's life savings.
Workers are helping her search the garbage, but have found no
sign of the cash so far.
