A lesson learned. If she is able to find her life savings; pehaps a direct trip to the bank would be to her benifit. At least, the amount would be insured and over time, she would be able to earn interest to help offset any inflation. This is something, not even, an old mattress can provide.

Oh well, when President Obama and the Democrats are through trashing the American dollar she will have lost nothing at all! At least she has a new mattress.

What if Anat took the mattress, somehow knowing of the money, and gave the garbage men a different mattress?

Reminds me of when I threw away a 2 million dollar winning game piece from the Snicker's Candy bar NFL MVP game about 4 or 5 years ago. Opened the candy bar and ate it and the name on the inside was Jerome Bettis. Two weeks later when they announced the MVP I was shocked and lost to find out it was Jerome Bettis and I could have won 2 million dollars. That's just my luck. Really, who would ever think that could really happen to them?

someone needed a mattres and did not care if it was lumpy. it was probably picked up curb side by that person. lets see how honesty plays out on this one.

I think the daughter took it, and is sending everyone out on a wild goose chase to keep the suspicion off of her, but hey, nowadays, I'm suspicious of everyone, and I cannot believe she would not have known where her mom kept her life savings. Regardless, it seems mom will have to kiss the cash goodbye!

Doug in Texas, go get a life. You are one pitiful person. This lady has lost her life savings and all you can think about is how Obama just may bring this country out of the mess that was created by GWB.

Considering the fact that economy sucks, even in Israel, and the dollar is becoming worthless, she should be sad losing the old mattress that is probably worth more than the dollar inside.

I'm sorry that this lady's misfortune makes me laugh so much, but does anyone else realize that this is exactly an episode of Spongebob Squarepants??? Spongebob buys his boss, Mr. Krabs, a brand new mattress after Mr. Krabs complains of not being able to sleep at night, and he throws out the old mattress with Mr. K's life savings in it...hilarity ensues while trying to recover the old mattress at the dump...I guess this is life imitating art!!!

How did Anat know that there was one million dollar in the matress if she had not counted them before mattress disposal?
