Kirby’s life has always been modest. When he needed a new sofa, he decided to find one at the flea market.
After some searching, the sofa was found, but on the first night the man discovered that sleeping on the new sofa was not comfortable at all. A few days later, he and his daughter decided to make a small alteration, and when they got to the upholstery, they realized that the reason was not the age of the couch, but the hidden bundles of money. in a makeshift hiding place inside.
When Howard came home with the couch, he didn’t notice the uneven hardness of the surface. But, from the first night, a problem became apparent: the sofa proved to be totally uncomfortable. When Meredith’s daughter came to him, he told her about the problem. Meredith decided to fix the couch by simply putting her hand behind the padding and pushing it.
But, instead of springs or sponge, she felt a hard cardboard, which turned out to be a packet of money. A minute later, she had a bundle of dollars in her hand. “When Meredith suddenly started pulling tons of money off the couch, I thought I was still asleep,” Howard said later. Finally, one by one, all the stacked packages were pulled from the couch.
In total, the amount of the cache amounts to 38,000 euros. Another would have kept the money, but Kirby decided to track down the previous owner and tell him about the stash. It turned out that the sofa was inherited by the seller from his grandfather, who kept his life savings literally under the mattress.
