No, We Want The Old Mattress Back
A woman in Tel Aviv, Israel, threw out her elderly mum's old mattress - not realising it was stuffed with £500,000. She was searching local tips for the cash and security had been stepped up to keep out treasure hunters who had heard about her plight.

Isn't that a terrible story? Sad, sad! Thanks for commenting at my blog. I appreciate it! :)
wow!! taking care of the older generation's sentiments does pay hmm!! thanks for reccomending my blog. I appreciate it truly.
I agree with marytheteach that it's sad... but I wonder from where the elderly mom got the half a mil?
Too much .. this is clearly an infectious mistake .. I told you about a woman here in the NY area who claims she had thousands in her mattress which she forgot about .. tossed the mattress out and then remembered ... oy!
Oh my gosh... would that not make you ill?
I guess she should have slept on it instead. hahahahaha
Thanks for dropping in my Sunday... your Monday!
Hehe I heard about this one. I hope she found it!
wow. never know what you are sleeping on...good luck with that one. off to start my search. know where i can get discount tickets to Tel Aviv?
Sometimes you really are better off not knowing.
I saw that story on the news! Oops. I bet that landfill is full of treasure hunters.
Gives new meaning to...no good deed goes unpunished.
That is so sad. I hope she's able to find it - money still inside.
I wonder if she got it back?
How sad...I hope she finds it!
Doesn't the saying go "One man's junk, another man's treasure"? NOT a profitable mistake!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog...I'm honored!
The most expensive spring-clean ever, eh?
