How Lost Property Is Found
Lost property is a phenomenon that turns up every day, even though most aren’t actively searching for it. The type of property we’re referring to includes safe deposit box contents that may be holed away in a bank vault somewhere; a house and boat that was part of an estate with no known heir, or collectible coins that were stashed in a storage unit years ago. Most of this property ends up missing because people move away, pass away or otherwise forget about the items or money in question. The end result is usually the same. All of this lost property ends up on a registry list, but the rightful owners are going to have to step forward if they hope to claim what belongs to them. Luckily, there is an online database that allows the owners of this property to step forward and claim it from anywhere in the world.
