Worker finds $20,000 hidden in back of armoire
RICHLAND, Wash. — A worker at a furniture liquidation business in Richland found bundles of cash hidden in the back of an armoire. The owners of the company, Liz and Mark Thompson of ET Estate Sales & Liquidation, traced the furniture to an estate sale and were able to return $20,000 to the family of the owner.
The Tri-City Herald reported the money belongs to Ron Davidson’s sister, a 78-year-old widow he does not want to name. She lost her husband to cancer in February and has moved into an assisted-living home in the Tri-Cities.
Davidson said with her medical bills and stress, the cash is a blessing. Davidson said her husband stashed the money years ago because he distrusted the banking system.
