Unclaimed--100 Words

Unclaimed.

Yesterday, I received a green post card from the Alabama Treasury department. Or some department like that.

The card indicated that the state of Alabama had money that belonged to me, but had been unclaimed by me.

That caught my attention!

I called to see which unknown great uncle had died and left me his estate. Or, which tax refund check was too low and they wanted to give me more money.

Sadly, that wasn’t to be the case.

Lowe’s had failed to refund for a delivery.

No rich uncle. No estate.

Maybe lunch at McDonald’s for my family.

Treasury Department Issues Emergency Recall Of All US Dollars

What's Fair is Fair

Show Me the Money!

Why doesn’t anything like this happen to me?

Last week, a jailer in the St. Louis County (Missouri) jail made a surprise find in the bathroom of the St. Louis County facility’s intake center. The correctional officer found $55,000 stuffed behind a toilet paper dispenser!

Police Chief Thomas Byrne says the bundle of money was in $100 and $50 bills.

And, for the surprise of the day, none of the inmates who were interviewed knew anything about it. Can’t you hear the replies now:

Question: “Sir, is that your money?” Answer: “What money?”
Question: “Sir, is that your money?” Answer: “I don’t know nothing about no money.”
Question: “Sir, is that your money?” Answer: “I’m innocent!”
Question: “Sir, is that your money?” Answer: I didn’t steal no $100 or $50 bills!”

The police chief has indicated that the money has been placed in a special bank account until the rightful owner is determined.

Does anyone know the phone number to the St. Louis County Jail? I think I left a package there as I visited last week!


So, here' s the question for you, how will you answer it: "Sir/Ma'am, is that your money?"
