A man from Alba Iulia hid the savings in the shoes without telling his wife, who cleaned house before Christmas and threw the shoes away. The couple informed police, who discovered that a woman had found the shoes — and bought a house. The family recovered about $18,000 from the woman and about $27,000 from the sellers.
