dmarc117 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090610/ap_on_...dollar_mattress JERUSALEM – An Israeli woman mistakenly threw out a mattress she said had almost $1 million inside, setting off a frantic search through tons of garbage at a number of landfill sites on Wednesday. The woman told The Associated Press that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise present on Monday — and threw out the old one. The next day, she said, she remembered that she had hidden her life savings inside the old mattress. "I woke up in the morning screaming, when it hit me what happened," said the Tel Aviv woman, who asked not to be identified. She went to look for the mattress, but it had already been hauled away by garbage collectors, she said. Subsequent searches at three different landfill sites turned up nothing.

cdrudge Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 According to a CNN article, it wasn't the lady's mattress, but her mothers that had the money. She wanted to surprise her mother by replacing it. The mother had been stashing money away in it for decades. Which story is the actual truth, who knows.
