I heard about this on the news this morning... It was said that search was hopeless and that they had to put guards at the garbage dump to repel treasure hunters...
I can't imagine how that woman feels right now.
Heh. Its plausible, I've heard of slightly smaller sums being found stuffed inside mattresses. Now...if they turn around and sue the trash people for a million bucks, I'll doubt the validity of their tale....
