Examples of Unclaimed Property: Uncashed Checks, Dormant Accounts, Suitcases Full of Cash
Gone are the days when unclaimed property laws applied only to dormant bank accounts and unredeemed insurance policies.

According to Yahoo's blog The Sideshow, that's exactly what someone left in a Sydney cafe on Tuesday. Police are investigating.
