One random day.....

Husband: what happened to the nightstand?????

Wife: oh that, I always thought it was ugly and gotten a replacement

Husband: .........….........

Based on real life stories where wife or husband thrown away their hidden stash furniture and had to search for it at the dumpster or rubbish chute.

A fellow I worked with had a coworker who was demolishing drywall in a house. While smashing out the ceiling a box fell out and almost him in the head. It had close to 100k in it. Turns out the house was owned by a guy who had a bakery, and I guess stashed cash up there to avoid paying taxes. He never told anyone I guess and developed Alzheimer's. The kid turned in the money to the owner, and after that they had security guards watching the demolition crew's every move.

My city is not huge. I know 2 things are certainly facts: 1 he owned a bakery, and 2 he did have Alzheimer's.
