California woman finds $36K in cash hidden inside couch acquired through Craigslist

A California woman made a startling discovery after bringing home a set of sofas she found on Craigslist -- more than $36,000 in cash hidden inside one of the cushions.

It all started when Vicky Umodu, of Colton in San Bernardino County, started looking through online ads for furniture for her new home.

As she scrolled through Craigslist, she found two sofas and a matching chair that someone was giving away for free. ...

It turns out the family that was giving away the furniture explained that a loved one had recently passed away, and they were liquidating everything on the property.

Umodu said the two sofas and chair worked perfectly in her new home. ...

But when she got home and was examining the sofas more closely, she discovered something strange. There was some kind of unknown item inside one of the cushions. ...

When she finally unzipped the cushion and looked inside, she discovered several envelopes filled with thousands of dollars in cash. ...

Umodu said she was never tempted to keep what she found. She said she immediately gave the money back to the family who gave her the furniture. ...

Umodu said when she returned the money, the family told her they had discovered other cash hidden throughout the rest of the house, but only a few hundred dollars.

The family is not sure why the deceased man may have hidden so much money inside his couch.

As a way of saying thank you, they agreed to give Umodu $2,200, money she needed to buy a new refrigerator. ...

Trove of 700 Civil War-Era Gold Coins Discovered in Kentucky​

An anonymous man unearthed the 700-plus gold coins in a cornfield in Kentucky earlier this year. (For now, he’s keeping his identity and the exact location of the farmland under wraps.) Per a statement from GovMint.com, the dealer selling the so-called Great Kentucky Hoard, the coins date to between 1840 and 1863. They include $10 gold coins featuring a bust of Lady Liberty, rare $20 gold Liberty double eagles minted in 1863 and $1 coins known as Indian princess dollars.

The specifics of the coins’ burial remain unknown. But [it’s] speculate[d] their owner hid the trove as an “insurance policy” during the chaos of the Civil War. By the time the conflict ended in 1865, the individual may have died or forgotten exactly where the hoard was buried.

[It’s] believe[d] the total value of the Great Kentucky Hoard “exceeds $2 million.” Other estimates that put it closer to $1 million note that 1863 gold Liberty double eagles have previously sold for up to $381,875 at auction.
