Leaving their crumbs lying around
The State of Oregon has launched a new unclaimed property website -- a place to which Oregonians can go to find out if any of their wealth has been turned over to the state because they didn't show up at the right place and time to say it was theirs. If this includes you, apparently you can contact the state and get your money back any time. Otherwise, it "escheats": the state invests it and uses the earnings for schools.
When we hear of sites like these, of course we head right over and run our name through the search engine to see if there's anything there for us. In this case, as always, the answer is no. But just for fun, we ran some other familiar names through, and wow! Quite a few hit something. Here's some of what we found -- we've sanitized street numbers on home addresses:

Nothing for me, either. Dangit!

The site appears to be broken. At the end of filling out the paper work, the site gave me a 500 error. So, I did it again. Then it told me to go away because I already filed a claim. So, I checked on my claims and it said that I had none.
Oh well, good enough for government work.

Given some of the names you list, Jack, this site could also be a "sting" trying to get those with outstanding warrants to blow their cover.

Portland Native - Randy Leonard buys his friends (jobs, contracts, you know the usual payola) and always has.

Lars, get down there and grab your unclaimed assets before they waste the money on schools.
