Sleep tight

In the "no good deed goes unpunished" category:
A woman in Tel Aviv, Israel, gave her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise gift, throwing out the old tattered bed her mother had slept on for decades. The gesture ended up bankrupting Annat's mother, who had stuffed her savings of nearly $1 million inside her old bed for decades.

So much for a good night's sleep.

well it was certainly well hidden if even her daughter didn't know it contained money!
