Billie Pillar of the Community United States 592 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 12:31 pm Thanks Wontoo! As a resident of Massachusetts I checked out the link & ended up on the abandoned property page & typed in my last name (its pretty unique). Up comes my brothers name with an old address for $100+, we filed a claim. I'll let you know how it turns out. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 10:29 pm They have those in Illinois about once a year. First they publish a multi page listing in the newpapers for abandonded boxes. Then they have a sale at the State building in the downtown area of Chicago. Those are actually auctions and almost all items are sold for double what they are worth. These auctions also contain seized merchandise from criminals that are not tracable to the real owners or so they say. Report this Post to the Staff
