Funny you should mention non-profits. Because I was thinking maybe unclaimed property should go to them but then again...I'm not thinking.
Jesse's "Rainbow Coalition" might get it all, heh.
As for unclaimed gift cards, as the original thread was about you should smile, I'd argue that so long as there is an unclaimed property law than they SHOULD be turned over to the government.
But I dunno, I sure wouldn't want to try and enforce such a thing.
Just wondering if there is enough of this unclaimed gift certificate business to justify putting even one gov't tax clerk on the job.
