Woman Sells Vacation Money For $10


Last Update: 8/26/2008 7:37 pm
(WXYZ) A garage sale could keep a Belleville family from a Disney World Vacation.

That's because Tracy Holmes sold the vacation money for $10.  However, she didn't know her husband Fred was hiding the money he intended to use for the surprise vacation in a Sin City DVD.  Tracy Holmes says she sold the DVD along with 2 other movies because the couple hadn't watched it in a while.

Holmes thinks the man who bought the DVD during the August 15 garage sale was about 6 feet tall and in his 50s or possibly 60s. She's hoping that if she gets the word out, he will return the money
