Don't REALLY put all your money in your mattress. Or if you do, make sure you don't have a daughter that likes to surprise you:

An Israeli woman unknowingly threw out her mother's old mattress which contained $1 million in savings, the Yediot Ahronot reported on Wednesday.

The woman, identified only as Anat, said she wanted to give her elderly mother a surprise and had bought a new mattress on Monday, throwing the old one out.

However, the "surprise" turned into despair for the mother, who kept all her savings in the mattress, and the news initiated a mad, desperate search through Tel Aviv's myriad of waste tips.

The search has already been going on for three days but there has been no trace of the $1 million-dollar mattress, which may be hard to find among the 3,000 tons of trash dumped every day at the site.

Oops.
