The young woman woke up the following morning remembering a conversation where her mother told her that she had been hiding her entire life savings in the old mattress because of a terrible experience she had with a bank in the past. By the time the woman had realized her life altering mistake, the mattress had already been picked up and taken to the local dump. The woman searched through three different landfill to no avail, twenty-five hundred tons of garbage arrives to the dumps per day and the chance of finding the mattress is equivalent to a needle in a haystack.
