One Good Reason Not to Hide Money!!!

Israeli woman mistakenly junks $1 million mattress

A stash of cash landed in the trash … By IAN DEITCH, Associated Press Writer Ian Deitch, Associated Press Writer – 2 hrs 35 mins ago
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.

Re: One Good Reason Not to Hide Money!!!

I read this news story earlier today and just had to shake my head! I can only imagine how that woman's joy at surprising her mom with that new mattress turned to horror when her mom told her she had thrown away a million bucks.

The report I read said that they were looking in three different landfills where it possibly got taken by the garbage truck but with no luck so far. I wonder if one of the garbage guys didn't take the mattress home or sell it.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Someone probably picked it up by the side of the road from the trash and is sleeping on $1M - - BUT....since it hit the news they probably have already cut it open and got it out.

I think it was pretty stupid to let it be released in the news before finding it.

Re: One Good Reason Not to Hide Money!!!

Would a mattress filled with that much money be extremely heavy?
