A woman in Tel Aviv, Israel, mistakenly threw out a mattress with $1 million hidden inside, setting off a frantic search through tons of garbage at a number of landfill sites.

The woman told Army Radio that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise on Monday and threw out the old one, only to discover that her mother had hidden her life savings inside. She was identified only as Anat.

Ho ho ho!!! I know the world is disillusioned with the global banking system, but hiding $1 million dollars in your mattress is a bit over the top!

I bet the daughter is in line for a good kick up the arse! Also, how uncomfortable would a mattress be with $1 million dollars stuck inside????

Anyway, I feel for the lady, but it did make me laugh!
