Check Your Furniture--It Might Make You Rich

You know those articles you see from time to time, about some lucky yard-sale shopper that pays $5 for a painting and finds out it's a Picasso or has a valuable historical document glued to the back? Well, it has happened again. Reuters reports, in Student finds baroque painting inside old sofa, that a student who bought a sofa at a flea market found a valuable painting inside. All the more reason to shop at yard sales and flea markets, if you ask me.

How exciting! Now, why can't something like that ever happen to me?

Oh! What a Picture
It looks so simple.
