A reader adds an interesting detail on the seizure of "unclaimed" property:

Stephen, in reference to your blog post on LRC regarding the state of DE and unclaimed revenue...a state politicians son was employed in this revenue generating department and was indicted for stealing over 1 million $ from this lucrative pool of free money. http://www.wgmd.com/blog/2008/02/05/representative-vince-lofink-on-his-sons-guilty-plea/. I'm sure you're not surprised.
