Under the mattress is not the only place folks hide things. And it seems stuffing your mattress with your life savings is not just a phrase. A daughter 0f an Israeli woman thought she would do something nice for mom. She spent the day cleaning and then decided that mom should have a new mattress. She carried the new one upstairs and hauled the old one down out to be hauled away. And that’s where the trouble began. It seems the mother was quite fond of her mattress. So fond, she had been stuffing it – literally – with cash for decades. Inside the mattress was the mother’s entire life savings…approximately $1M. Now they are scouring the garbage dumps with the help of security.
The mother: The heart is crying but you know we could have been in a car accident or had a terminal disease.
The daughter: It’s a very, very sad story but I’ve been through worse. It’s a matter of proportions in life … people need to know how to accept the good and the bad in life.
