Australian donates sofa and forgets he hid $30,000 in it

31 July 2023

An unpleasant story happened to an elderly resident Australian state of Queensland. The man decided to get rid of the become unnecessary sofa and successfully completed the plan. However, a few weeks later he remembered that 30,000 coins were hidden in his pillow. Australian dollars (about 20 thousand US dollars). Now, possibly the most wanted sofa in the country.





The pensioner whom 7news.com.au calls by name George, emphasizing that it had been changed, decided to sell his house in order to move to more modest housing. At the same time, he decided to get rid of extra furniture that will be unnecessary in a new place. One of the victims became an old shabby leather sofa, faithfully serving the owner many years. Unfortunately for both of them, the owner was ungrateful.

The sofa consisted of five identical sections, and George donated three of them to a store that sells such donations and donates proceeds to charity. According to men, he remembered the money hidden in the sofa cushions, but was completely sure that they are in one of the two left by him sections. Just in case, to check whether this is so, George only bothered to a few weeks later and was quite discouraged.



The pensioner contacted the store, but they said that the sofa picked up within a few days, and self-delivery, so they cannot trace its further fate. “It really hurts me that I did this to myself. I can’t believe how fucking stupid I was, honestly, George is quoted as saying. “I had to tell myself that I was human, I made a mistake, I learned a valuable lesson—and a dear one.”

George tried to advertise a search for the missing sofa, but does not expect too much that he will be found. Pensioner philosophically remarks that perhaps his money will go to someone for benefit.
