  • •They have to say how much money it is and where it’s being held.
  • •They give you 45 to 60 days to claim it before they take it.

Example

If you forget about a $100 deposit at the city office, they have to put a notice in the paper saying they’ll take it in 45-60 days if you don’t claim it.
