Unclaimed Money?
Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 3:17 pm
Yes Virginia there is a Santa Clause,
and his name is http://www.missingmoney.org/
I was really REALLY bored at work and watching endless video clips from msnbc.com until I saw a clip where a reporter dug up unclaimed money for a bunch of people. Some of it was small change but some of it was pretty sizable. One couple had over $2k in an account they had forgotten about years ago.
I did a little searching online and found the missingmoney.org website, did a search on myself and found $90.30 from State Farm in 2001 that was a premium refund I didn't know about and $50 from Best buy that was a Rebate I never got (So that's what happens to all those rebates...)
I searched for my wife and a few friends and didn't find anything else so I guess I just got lucky (or unlucky that I didn't get that $$ years ago when it was owed)
They direct you to an official texas website where you download a printable form and send off for your claim. You have to provide a copy of your ID and, of course, a stamp and envelope but other than that it's free.
I'm mailing mine off tomorrow :)
Lets see who can beat my $140.30
how is this relevant to guns?.... what do you think that $140 is going toward!
