We gave a couch to a neighbor, years later they found my wife's class ring!

Better than a sharp stick in the eye!

“A quarter of a million dollars is a life-changing sum for most people, and finding a Paul Newman Daytona in a thrift-store couch is easily one of the craziest stories I’ve come across. When asked what she would do with her newfound fortune, the woman replied that she would “buy a house and get a boob job.”

Man, what a find, holy cow. I wish my Daytona was worth that much, but it has doubled in value sinc I bought it.

Why isnt this woman trying to find the watch’s rightful owner?

How did the watch get in her couch? Did she buy the couch second hand used? Did someone visiting her drop it in the cushions?

Hi.

In the fwiw department, all Rolex watches are registered.

Call Rolex for the owner’s name and address.

5.56mm

All these years I have been wondering where that watch went.

I was helping a friend get rid of an overstuffed chair and checked inside for change. Pulled out his wife’s “toy” instead. She snatched it and ran out of the room.

I think the buyers are cataloged.

Around 20 years ago, I found an engraved Spyderco knife behind the seat of my car. I could not for the life of my figure out who it belonged to.

I knew it was an expensive knife but I had no idea how expensive. At a gun show the first knife booth offered me $75 for it with no haggling. I let him have it.

Maybe 15 years later it hit me who the owner had been. I would have tried to locate him but decided it just wasn’t worth the trouble.

Many years ago I bought a couch right after I moved into my first apartment. About a year later, while digging for the remote, I found a diamond encrusted tennis bracelet. Fortunately I remembered the name of the family and the street so I looked them up in the phone book and called them. The lady was so surprised, she thought it was gone forever. Turns out her husband bought it for her when their daughter was born. The wife was in tears when I brought it back to her and she gave me a $100 reward.

Are my wife and I the only people that vacuum our couch?

I can’t imagine buying a used couch, then NEVER moving the cushions to clean it.

Just gross

“She plans to “buy house and get a boob job”...

With that kind of money, she could get BOTH boobs done.

Sounds like a player. Any pics?

She’s a blithering idiot for putting the story out. She should have simply had it verified and then sold it.

I found a $15,000 Rolex in the thick rough of a golf course (my shot must have hit a rock and deflected there). I reunited it with the very appreciate owner who left a note in the clubhouse. He was especially happy because his dad gave it to him and had since past away. He gave me a $500 reward.

I dragged a sofa in from where my neighbor left it on the curb and found a green Cheeto. It tasted funny.

Dumbass. Buy 5 houses with $50K down on each, and generate sufficient monthly income to have the boob job in a few months at most. After that, she’ll have enough to buy her own house and make payments on it from the monthly income, with spare cash each month. She can keep the houses, and raise the rents over time.
