Free Money

A few weeks ago, my name showed up on the California Unclaimed Property Register. Like other states, California holds onto unclaimed money for a set period, then deposits anything not claimed into their general fund. I happened to look and discovered to my surprise that there was money in my name that dates back to when I lived in Fremont. Claiming it was easy enough, and today the check arrived. Below is the check that I deposited to my account.

Don't anyone say, "Don't spend it all in one place." And no, I have no idea where the money originated.
