Doing my random news catch-up this evening, and I came across one or two stories that are a little weird.

A woman mistakenly threw away a mattress containing her live savings worth almost $1million.

Her awful moment of realisation set off a frantic search through Israeli landfill sites – with no joy so far.

A Twitter addict will be poring through his 2,000 online “followers”, after suspecting one of them might have burgled his home.

Israel Hyman blames his online “tweets” for the break-in that deprived him of thousands of pounds’ worth of electrical equipment.
