Default Man hides cash in oven; cash gets baked by accident - 07-28-2012, 17:07 | posts: 1,448 | Location: Outer Banks, NC

One man probably has learned a costly lesson about where he hides his cash.

The unidentified father from Sydney, Australia, sold his car last weekend. The $15,000 (approximately $15,652 in U.S. dollars) in proceeds was earmarked for his mortgage payment and other bills, according to Australian media. Opting not to squirrel away the loot in a mattress or bury it in his backyard, he decided to hide it his oven, which rarely gets used.

Bad move: Turns out, his wife decided to use the oven that day, preheating it for chicken nuggets for their two children and, yes, cooked the cash.

Why not just put it in a bank?

Why did he even choose a place to hide his bills where there's a chance for it to be damaged/destroyed. An oven even if it's rarely used is still a bad place because it's still going to eventually be used no matter how rare those odds are. I'm sure in a house you can find another location that will serve a better hiding spot...

This is why you're susposed to check the oven first before you turn it on.

I'm sure his wife had a bad day afterwards...

But really, this is why communication is key.
