Woman forgets she stuffed mattress with Rs 45 lakh, throws it away
Money inside mattress
Keeping things in a safe place often means forgetting about them entirely. We are all guilty of doing it and often feel frustrated when we realise that safekeeping didn't help.
Something similar happened to a woman in Italy who packed up her entire life savings inside a mattress and years later threw it away, and only remembered about the money after it was taken away.
The woman in her 80s had saved up a total of $53,089 (nearly Rs 45 lakh) and was afraid that thieves might steal her money, The Mirror reported.She didn't trust the banks either and didn't want to keep the money there either. So she tore open a mattress, put it all inside it and sewed it back up.
However, when the mattress became old she threw it out and at the time had forgotten about the money inside it. After she realised her mistake, she started panicking and was left distraught.
She called the police in Montebelluna, and told them about everything, asking them for help to find her mattress. The police wasted no time and got to work right away and were successfully able to locate it. It was returned to the woman who heaved a sigh of relief after finding all the money was still there.

Woman finds cash inside sofa cushion
A similar case happened in the Unites States a few years back when a woman found approximately $36,256 inside a sofa she got online for free. The woman from California was looking for furniture online for her new home when she came across some free items. A family was giving away a sofa and other bedroom items after the death of a loved one.
She noticed something odd with the cushions and upon inspection found the cash concealed inside it. "I just moved in, and I don't have anything in my house. I was so excited, so we picked it up and brought it in."
