The million-dollar bed

Isn't it frustrating when you lose money? But some people just throw it away! An Israeli woman is frantically searching for the old mattress she threw away last week, because she had been hiding her life savings inside it - a whopping one million dollars! "I woke up the next morning screaming when it hit me what had happened," the woman, who doesn't want to be named, told The New York Times. A mattress is a strange place to hide your savings, but the woman preferred to sleep on her money after a bad experience with her bank. Now, she's hoping the garbage collectors at the local rubbish dump can help her get the mattress back. But as 2,500 tonnes of rubbish arrives there every day, the mattress and the money may be lost forever.
