Worker finds $20,000 hidden in back of armoire
[May 18, 2010] RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) -- A worker at a furniture liquidation business in Richland found bundles of cash hidden in the back of an armoire.

The owners of the company, Liz and Mark Thompson of ET Estate Sales & Liquidation, traced the furniture to an estate sale and were able to return $20,000 to the family of the owner. The Tri-City Herald reported the money belongs to Ron Davidson's sister, a 78-year-old widow he does not want to name. She lost her husband to cancer in February and has moved into an assisted-living home in the Tri-Cities. Davidson said with her medical bills and stress, the cash is a blessing. Davidson said her husband stashed the money years ago because he distrusted the banking system. ___ Information from: Tri-City Herald, http://www.tri-cityherald.com/ |
