Lost some loot?
The state is employing a new tool that could help you find it.
This week Minnesota listed 50,000 of its residents on MissingMoney.com, a Web site dedicated to helping people and companies recover unclaimed property.
The Minnesota Department of Commerce's Unclaimed Property Division joins a growing list of states seeking to increase their owner/property reunification efforts.
The 50,000 Minnesotans listed on MissingMoney.com represent three years of property owner searches by the state.
For 30 years the state has tried and failed to connect 300,000 residents with abandoned property worth $128 million.
