A Woman Sold an Old Desk for $20… and the Buyer Found Something Inside

A woman in the US was cleaning out her garage and decided to sell an old wooden desk for $20 at a yard sale.
Nothing special — scratched, dusty, a little outdated.

The buyer took it home, pulled out the bottom drawer… and found $50,000 in cash hidden behind a fake wooden panel.
When the story hit the local news, everyone expected the buyer to return the money.

He didn’t.

Legally?

He didn’t have to.

The seller said she had “no idea” the money was there — it belonged to her late father.
Imagine selling something for $20 and losing a life-changing amount of cash in the process.
