I found a Savings Bond inside a donated book. Where do I send it, so I can get it back to its owner?
Tom's response
Usually a Savings Bond will have both a name and mailing address on it, but I assume this one has only a name, or you wouldn't have written me.
In that case, send it to the unclaimed property department of your State Treasurer's office. Their role is to get it back to the owner.
A search on Google for "[your state] State Treasurer Unclaimed Property" will get you the address to send it to.



I have lost and can't find of my serial numbers for my Saving Bonds.I'm asking is there a website or another way I can find them? All I can tell you it's in Brooklyn,New York in a bank I had my Saving Bonds.I don't even remember the bank name since it's been close to thirty years.
