What do you think I am doing. Turn in to whom ? Moneygram they do not know who bought it since it was paid for by cash. There are moneygrams all over town. The shopping center is huge. When you buy a money order you fill out then and there so this does not happen.I imagine it is going to Mexico. I cannot dedicate the rest of my life checking every moneygram in TEXAS. Thats why I asked here
Most State laws require you to do a search for the owner and holding an item for a reasonable amount of time before claiming it. I’m not sure if you’re also required to turn it into the police.
The money order stub may be attached, but most stores with modern checkout technology will also print a store receipt with the MO number on it. So, the store that issued it and the buyer of the MO will have another receipt in addition to the MO stub. That would be the only way I can think of to identify the original buyer.
You could just cash it.
That’s what thieves usually do.
Of course if the person who paid for it had a receipt they might have been able to cancel it.
