Laural Jaecks of Oak Creek, Wisonsin bought a secondhand bedroom set from a seller on Facebook Marketplace.
The wooden dressers and headboard were Amish-made; considering the pieces were of the highest quality in artisanship, Laural thought it was a steal.
The furniture belonged to an elderly couple that had recently passed away. Their son was the one who sold the set to Laurel. He also made sure to show her a few of the dresser’s hidden compartments.
Little did he know there was compartment he’d never seen before.
Laural brought the bedroom set home, and, as she and her husband shifted the headboard they discovered this one secret drawer — which was filled with envelopes of $100 bills.
Before they knew it, the Jaecks had counted $11,000 in cash!
They also found bank documents that belonged to the seller’s recently deceased parents, reminding her of the previous owners.
Laural contacted the seller, who was stunned by his parents’ secret fortune. But he was most surprised when he heard what Laural wanted to do with it.
