Lost & Found: Connecticut Records, UP Official Sentenced, Politics (but not really)
Connecticut Sets Unclaimed Property Record: Add Connecticut to the list of states that have set unclaimed property collection or reunification records this year. According to the Hartford Business Journal, the Nutmeg State returned more than $83.5 million to rightful owners this year, an increase of $30 million over last year. A large part of the record came from a single claim for $32.8 million -- the largest claim in state history -- relating to stock held by the state for a single individual.
Former Oklahoma Unclaimed Property Auditor Sentenced: A few months ago, we mentioned the story of LaTisha Reid, the former Oklahoma unclaimed property auditor charged with stealing unclaimed property from the state.
