Mom Donates Son's Old Mickey Mouse Mug To Atlanta Goodwill Not Realizing He Had Something Very Important Inside 😬

One Georgia Goodwill shopper is taking home a mug worth far more than they bought it for.


Mother Lindsay Preiss was cleaning out her house when she encountered her son's souvenir Mickey Mouse mug.

Not realizing what her son, 27-year-old Devon Silvey, kept inside, she donated the cup...to Devon's horror when he found out.



It turns out the Mickey Mouse mug held some of Devon's cash: $6,500 total. When she found out about what she'd given away, Preiss wasn't too happy:

"(I feel) like the worst mom in the world. I mean I feel terrible."

The series of events which led to Devon's money being in the mug made up a perfect storm of unfortunate coincidence. He sold his car for cash on a Sunday, when banks were closed.

Rather than keeping the money in his new car, Silvey decided to hide the money away in his parent's house since he was in the process of moving.




Obviously, Silvey is a little bit frustrated with how things have turned out:

"At first I thought it was a joke or a prank or something like that. She thought I was upset about the mug being gone, which, I miss the mug as well, but what was inside was a little more important."


Goodwill staff tracked the mug to the store in Conyers, Georgia.

Security footage shows a clerk pricing the mug and placing it on the shelf...where it was later purchased by a very lucky customer.

Preiss is now begging whoever purchased the mug to bring its contents back.

"We would be very, very thankful if you brought it back. I'm just asking someone to please have it in your heart to do the right thing and give it back."

Twitter was cringing over this family's bad luck.








Along with the feeling of having done the right thing, the mug's purchaser can also enjoy a slightly smaller cash reward for returning the mug!

How could anyone pass up on a deal like that?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
