Search for mattress containing $1M life savings
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- It was supposed to be a pleasant surprise, but turned into the shock of a lifetime. A woman in Tel Aviv, Israel, gave her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise gift, throwing out the old tattered bed her mother had slept on for decades. The gesture ended up bankrupting Annat's mother, who had stuffed her savings of nearly $1 million inside her old bed for decades. A massive search is under way at the city dump, where security has been beefed up to keep out treasure-seekers who have heard Annat's story in Israeli media. Full Story |

You think your doing something right. Alas; Once again you are wrong. I wonder if the do-gooders screamed " Surprise ".
 This only goes to show that the best place to keep your money is in a box, in the closet. |

Maybe the mattress and the million have a other connection.

She probably came up with the million in her vivid imagination.
I tell people that anytime they throw my stuff away. "Hey jerk, that old crushed beer can was a valuable collectible!" |
