Around a year and a half years ago I received a notice for unclaimed property. Not much just a couple of hundred dollars. First I thought it was a scam and didn't give it much thought for a while. One day I checked and son of a gun it was legit. In this state all such transactions must be done by snail mail. I filled out the request and a family member volunteered to drop it off. After that I didn't think much about it for a long time then one day it occurred to me to check and to my surprise it had never been received.

Then came the pandemic and it was forgotten for a time. One day I asked the family member and discovered she had not only forgot to deliver it and for good measure she totaled the car. On the plus side she went to the junk yard the next day and actually retrieved it before I could start the project anew. Next we lost it at home. Found it, sent it off, got it back because I forgot to get it notarized. Time passed before I sent it back and the process takes some time but it did get mailed.
Then some s@^!+&%@tch stole it right out of the box. Now the process of reporting and getting a refund is doubly complicated. I should give up but it has become my own personnel Moby Dick. To slightly misquote Melville and the only book Kahn Noonien Singh apparently ever read.

"It tasks me."
"It tasks me."
"And I shall have it."
