Tel Aviv - One woman's trash is another woman's treasure. A woman only identified by her first name, Anat, replaced her elderly mother's mattress this week. Her mother nearly fainted when she learned her daughter had sent her old mattress to the dump. The old mattress was stuffed with nearly $1 million cash. Anat has searched through tons of garbage since Monday and is unable to locate her mother's mattress or the cash. Treasure hunters are already circling the dumps like vultures.Ironically, an Israeli company manufactures a bed with a safe built into the base, the Executive SAFE-T Bed (pictured above). If I worked for Hollandia, I would be marketing this bed to the elderly and the paranoid. There is a safer alternative if you need a more fortified bed, there is the BedBunker (bottom photo) available for storing your precious treasures.
I hope the new mattress came with sedatives. Mother is not going to be very happy with Anat. My advice, pass Mother the Manischewitz.
