A couple of months ago, someone who works with my Sister found my name on some list of unclaimed property managed by the State of California.  She sent me an email, and while I was kind of amused, I pretty much blew it off. 

Then a few weeks ago, I remembered something about it, and decided to do a search.  Turns out that the California State Controller's Office has an Office of Unclaimed Property (UCP), and when I searched for my name, I found that apparently I was due some money from a long ago closed bank account, or something like that.  I filled out the appropriate forms, and voilà, a check arrived for me yesterday for $157.87. 

:-)  I like free money.
