What you’ll find in Missouri’s largest lost and found

JOPLIN, Mo. (KSNF/KODE) — Now that it’s a new year, it may be a good time to check and see if your money or property is being held in Missouri’s largest lost and found.

Each year, government agencies, businesses, financial institutions, and other organizations hand over millions of dollars in cash and property to the Missouri Treasurer’s Office. For example, the contents of a safe deposit box will be turned over to the state if there has been no contact with the owner for more than five years.

The Office currently holds more than $1 billion in unclaimed assets. 1-in-10 Missourians have unclaimed property, and the average return is $300. The Treasurer’s Office never charges to return unclaimed property.
