I know what you guys mean about small town mechanics. I'm not living in a small town now, but I get super service at Swedish Auto in Montreal. I can chuck the key through the mail slot. They know my car. They only work on Volvos and Saabs.

Ever since we moved into our home, we had been getting mail for the former resident, who had passed away, and sent it back to the senders. We watched a segment on the Today show program this morning about finding money people had forgotten about or were not aware of.
They mentioned two websites: unclaimed.org and missingmoney.com
Some years ago I found a few thousand dollars for my next door neighbor, who had no idea it was hers.
I went to the California unclaimed property website and found there was over $20,00 in the former resident's accounts! I started googling his name, and came up with his brother's obituary from 2005! The obituary had his name, and all of his nieces and nephews' names. With some more input to a certain website, I got the phone numbers and e-mail addresses of his relatives.
Tonight I got a call from one of his nieces who was blown away by the information. I told her how to access the site, and she gave me the name of the man's son. I have found his e-mail address, and hope to hear from
him soon. I think the $20,000 will probably be his, it should make him very happy, but I want to stay out of any family dynamics.
Check out those websites, you may have found money.
In the corner we have CM wearing her day off clothes , in the opposite corner DHCM in a nice cardigan.....

We have a vehicle repair shop in our neighborhood, which is in a small city. It might as well be a small town DH will leave a vehicle there overnight; they have a slot in the door where you can drop the keys and a form with instructions on what you need done or checked and they'll take care of it. Then he walks home
I remember that Dawg, when your mom passed and you had so much business to take care of. That's awesome you were able to take care of it with a phone call. I've lived in a small town for so long now, I don't think I could handle living in a big city and going through the time it takes to go through some of the everyday legal processes.My little home town where I grew up (I moved away a long time ago) has a pair of twins who are still the best mechanics and body shop guys around. The chief of police is also the town locksmith. One phone call was all it took when I was selling Mom's cars and house.
