Unclaimed Money
Mark Your Calendars - March 31 Public Auction!
 
Are you a coin collector? Do you like unusual jewelry? How about sports memorabilia? If so, plan to attend the Department of State Lands' upcoming auction of items that have been abandoned in safe deposit boxes:
 
Location:  Parrish Middle School, 802 Capitol St. NE, Salem, OR
 
Auction Preview:  Friday, March 30, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
 
Public Auction:  Saturday, March 31, 8:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
 
 
 
Every year, DSL receives hundreds of boxes, envelopes and packages containing the contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes. Financial institutions must turn over the contents to the state when owners have not kept up rental payments and when they are not able to be located.
 
DSL's Unclaimed Property Section staff looks for owners by posting their names on the searchable database on the Web and by performing some specialized individual searches. Any contents that haven't been claimed within two years are sold at public auction.
 
The March 31 auction will be conducted by Liska Auctioneers.
