JERUSALEM (AFP) - An Israeli man angry with his wife over money matters set fire to three million shekels (680,000 dollars) on the lawn of his affluent suburban home.
After reaching the end of his tether in the marital spat, he had opened the family safe, taken out fistsful of bank notes, stuffed them in sacks and dragged them outside, said the online edition of Yediot Aharonot on Wednesday.
"In 36 years, I have seen nothing like it," one fireman was quoted as saying after four fire engines hurtled through Rehovot, near Tel Aviv, following reports of someone trying to set fire to his house.
The firemen were confronted by the banknotes smouldering on the lawn.
A police investigation is underway

Cutting off his nose to spite his face.
Wackos over there. The whole lot of em.
Wow he sure got even with her!!!
Which one called the firemen????
Wait, make that 880,000.. yeah that's the ticket.. I took them on the lawn to air out, and poof, combustion.. A total loss.. file the claim for 880,000.. could be closer to 900 though.. WAIT, no, it WAS 900,000.. scratch 880, write in 900.
didn't you always tell me to SAVE my shekels?
Yeah, he taught her a lesson he'll never forget.
Dibs on the pic ... you'll have a shot at it on E-Bay.
(Rats!!!
I just checked and someone else beat me to it .... up to a quarter mil ... too rich for my blood.)
What! A Jew buring money on the front lawn! What kind of meshugass is that? Oi, Vai!
Just about to say the same thing. This dude will wake up tomorrow with a severe case of deep regret!
Something about sheckels and "burning" makes me uneasy...
LOL. That was funny.
Dang! I really admire his unmaterialistic attitude.
A Jewish kid walks up to his dad, and asks for five dollars. The dad turns to the son and says "four dollars? whaddya need two dollars for?"
