Woman unknowingly tosses $1M stuffed in old mattress

well, now i’m conflicted. For years, we’ve been urged not to pick up furniture, particularly mattresses, off the curb for fear of spreading bed bugs (a very real threat that I am obsessed with). but yesterday in israel a woman threw out her mother’s mattress only to find out later that her mother had secretly hidden close to a million dollars in it! it could very well be that that mattress you walk by on your way home from work is a padded vault containing a fortune, which could easily pay for the extermination you’d need if it also contained a few bed bugs.

i’m seriously going to start re-thinking my avoidance of salvaging furniture from the street. pick up the right piece and you may be able to actually buy your next piece of furniture. you know, from an actual store.
