The Million Dollar Mattress

Have you guys heard this story yet about the Million Dollar Mattress?? An Israeli woman bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise gift and got rid of the old one without telling her. When the lady found out her old mattress was gone she told the daughter she had been stashing her life savings in the mattress, which was $1 Million!!!!!

The garbage collecters had already taken the mattress so now they are basically searching every landfill/dump site for the old mattress. Here is the article.

Can you believe it???? Oh my god. I feel sooooo bad for this woman. I really really hope she finds her mattress. How awful.

This sounds too fake to me! I read this story in the post. For all we know they are sitting with a bunch of donations from people.

Oh, can you imagine! I read once that there is no worse thing than a good deed turned bad. This is definitely a good deed gone wrong!!!

there's actually alot of stories floating around like this. from personal experience, I know that my grandmother had a VERY expensive ring hidden away in a jar and one of my aunts threw it away thinking it was just a jar with some old dried fruit.
