Manuel, here is text from ABC on that story: "Not-So-Safe-Deposit Boxes: States Seize Citizens' Property to Balance Their Budgets". You remembered the details well! "In Delaware, unclaimed property is the third largest source of state revenue."

I sense a theme in recent actions by the state: property forfeiture in the War on Drugs, property forfeiture in the Intellectual Property War and seizing of "unclaimed" property... The state is at war with us to sieze our property. Seems kind of obvious, but there it is.
