Vicky Umodu didn’t expect to find $36,000 in cash that was inside the cushions of the beige, floral-patterned couch. She added she decided to contact the family who originally owned the furniture piece.
She recalled she first thought of the envelope which contained the money was a heating pad until she realised there was no electrical cord.
Vicky Umodu returned the money to the family, who rewarded her with $2,200 by the family for as a gesture. She said she never wanted to spend the money for herself.
The report mentioned the family gave away the couch which belonged to one of their deceased relatives.
