These are some good reads, but way too much to quote, even in small bits. The story is that Sheriff's deputies in Kansas and California are teaming up with the Feds to seize over $1 million in cash from an armored truck company. And a federal judge in California isn't stopping it.

Civil Forfeiture
Re: Civil Forfeiture
There is some trivial amount in stock (about $20 last I checked) that my parents had. It would cost well over $100 to get all the paperwork together to claim it.
How do you prove that you lived at an address in 1975?

Re: Civil Forfeiture
I can only tell you about our situation with the State of California treasurer's office for unclaimed property.
After my folks passed in the mid teens, I found a modest amount of escheated property that had been sent to the state. I downloaded all the claim forms, and since my folks were deceased, I decided to go to Sacramento and file any paperwork in person. I took their death certificates, living trust, my birth certificate, utility bills, and all that stuff to support my claim.
Lo and behold, there was some unclaimed property from the '70s when they lived in southern California. I had no evidence or other proof that they lived at that particular address, since they had moved 18 years prior.
When I inquired of the attendant how I could prove that this was their address from 1954 through 1998, the clerk told me, no problem. That property from 40 years ago was processed as well. Her computer showed all their addresses that were apparently linked from (guessing) the Franchise Tax Board. Or, perhaps there is some sort of database that the counties upload for real property ownership.
So, your state might be able to connect prior addresses if their various systems are linked. Worth a shot anyway.
