Chiang reunited owners with more than $1.6 billion of property
that had been lost or forgotten – $1.12 billion that had been
sent to the State, and $491.4 million that was reclaimed by
owners from the business before it was sent to the State.

Sometimes it is money!
Unclaimed money can come from savings or checking accounts,
stocks, un-cashed dividends or payroll checks, refunds,
traveler's checks, trust distributions, unredeemed money
orders or gift certificates (in some states), insurance
payments or refunds and life insurance policies, annuities,
certificates of deposit, customer overpayments, utility
security deposits, mineral royalty payments, and contents of
safe deposit boxes. State governments attempt to
locate the rightful owners. If this fails, fails the money
may go to the state coffers.
