An Australian man lost his savings when he hid $15,000 in cash in the oven, on the mistaken belief his wife never used it. The man had just sold his beloved sports car to make a mortgage payment.

She didn’t realize what was wrong until the burned bills filled the kitchen with smoke. “It was everything I had,” the man sighed. “I’ve got nothing to my name.”
