Facts You Should Know About Unclaimed Money & Unclaimed Property

January 25th, 2010 No comments

In the state of California alone, the unclaimed funds have reached over $5.5 billion and it is estimated 1 in 5 have unclaimed money. With the states enjoying such grand budget benefits from the unclaimed property, they have little (or better say no) interest to locate the rightful owners of this missing money.

Forget about the common people. Just tell me how difficult is it to find big names like Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Kate Hudson and Microsoft? Do you know they are all owed missing money from California’s state database? But, it seems like California’s Unclaimed Property Trust Funds is not interested to deliver it to them! In fact they are more interested in using these unclaimed assets to solve the budget issues of the state.

An estimate of over $30 billion dollars of unclaimed money is owed to individuals and companies right here in the United States because people have forgotten about their missing money and the financial institution where it was kept. Due to disability, illness and/or death, some owners didn’t keep a record as to where they kept their valuables and money. That is why it is important to keep accurate records about your financial institutions where your money is held and where you have invested your money. So you are not among those who do not even know about their missing money and someone else claim their unclaimed money.

www.UnclaimedMoney.us.com has already done the work for you. You just need to type your name, city and state; check if you own any unclaimed property or unclaimed money and get your hands on it.

i have to write a thousand word essay about the dangers of arson this is what i have so far
There are many dangers associated with arson. Arson can even result in death to you or other people. If you don’t already know arson is a felony and if you get a felony charge it stays on you record till your 30 years old. This can cause a lot of repercussions like if you plan on joining the military then you minus well forget that idea. Another major repercussion is not being able to leave the country a felony restricts you from getting a passport meaning no travel out of the country. One of the biggest dangers of arson is loss of life. No matter what you think you can’t really control fire in a split second the wind can change or some dangerous fumes leak into the ignition radius and boom depending on the chemicals you could cause an explosion with the power of a two hundred pound bomb. There are even dangerous chemical gasses that can be produced when you burn certain object they release chemicals like chlorine gas. Another very large danger of arson is property damage fire can be very destructive and destroy just about anything if exposed to it long enough. Another danger is losing control… for example the recent wild fire in California was a result of arson and the property damage is nearing the billion dollar mark and nearly 900,000 people displaced. The fires are blamed for 14 deaths and charred more than 508,000 acres, destroying about 1,600 homes. This arsonist who also burned over 38,000 acres of land was under the age of ten. He was just a child playing with matches. The ash alone poses an array of health problems do to the alkali contents in the ashes. The ash also poses a major mud slide and flooding threat to the houses remaining in the area. Here are some statistics:

-Arson is the leading cause of fires 267,000 annually in the United States and the second leading cause of deaths 475 and injuries 2000.
-Arson also causes 1.4 billion dollars in property loss each year. 50% of arson fires occur outdoors, 30% in structures, and 20% in ve¬hicles.
-Half of all arson arrests are under the age of 18. Vacant and abandoned buildings are targets for arsonists.
-Also poorer neighborhoods experience fourteen times the number of arsons as higher income neighborhoods.
-Church arsons increased sharply in 1996.
-There were a total of sixty two thousand four hundred and thirteen incidents from the year 2003 to 2006 in Las Vegas Nevada alone.
-Also in that time period three million six hundred seventy eight thousand eight hundred eighty four hundred dollars in damages were racked up from arson fires in Las Vegas.
– According to analysis of 1996–1998 data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System the dollar loss per arson fire was slightly higher than the average of all fires.
-Deaths and injuries were somewhat lower.
-Arson is the third leading cause for fire related deaths and injuries.

Arson isn’t only a danger to the arsonist and innocent bystanders they are a great danger to the fire fighters that are trying to put the fire out. In December 1999 six fire fighters died in a Worcester (MA) abandoned cold storage warehouse building fire. In the years 1997 to 2006 there were 1069 firefighter deaths reported by United States Firefighter Association.
