Workers are helping her search the garbage, but have found no sign of the cash so far.

3. 14-YEAR-OLD HIT BY 30,000 MPH SPACE METEORITE...A MOVIE IS IN THE WORKS.
3. 14-YEAR-OLD HIT BY 30,000 MPH SPACE METEORITE...A MOVIE IS IN THE WORKS.
6/12- A 14-year old German boy, Gerrit Blank, was on his way to school when he saw a "ball of light" heading straight towards him from the sky. A red hot, pea-sized piece of rock then hit his hand before bouncing off and causing a foot wide crater in the ground. The teenager survived the strike, the chances of which are just 1 in a million - but with a nasty three-inch long scar on his hand.
Ansgar Kortem, director of Germany's Walter Hohmann Observatory, said: "Most don't actually make it to ground level because they evaporate in the atmosphere. Of those that do get through, about six out of every seven of them land in water," he added.
The only other known example of a human being surviving a meteor strike happened in Alabama, USA, in November 1954 when a grapefruit-sized fragment crashed through the roof of a house, bounced off furniture and landed on a sleeping woman.
