Attorney General Todd Rokita’s Unclaimed Property Division has success with eBay Auctions

0

The Office of the Indiana Attorney General’s Unclaimed Property Division has ventured into a new method of monetizing physical items — offering them for auction on eBay.

“Our top priority with unclaimed property is to get those assets back to the rightful owners,” said Attorney General Todd Rokita. “To that end, we want to use the most efficient and effective processes to achieve that mission.”

The only tangible items received by the Unclaimed Property Division are the contents of dormant safe deposit boxes. All other property is unclaimed money from such origins as closed bank accounts, court deposits, insurance, utility companies, old paychecks, closed estates, or from stock and securities.

Once unclaimed property is in its custody, the Unclaimed Property Division conducts an aggressive outreach effort to locate the rightful owners or heirs. It pursues rightful owners through mailings, social media, advertisements, and local media coverage.

Individuals and/or businesses have 25 years in which to claim money once it is held by the Unclaimed Property Division. They simply must supply proof of rightful ownership.

The physical property from safe deposit boxes offers a unique challenge in terms of storage and caretaking.

“By statute, we have the option of liquidating those items after three years,” said Amy Hendrix, director of the Unclaimed Property Division. “And eBay is certainly the most reasonable and sensible option. We started the eBay auctions this summer, and they have done very well so far. We’ve gotten favorable feedback.”

Selling the items on eBay offers one of the most effective means for getting top dollar for Hoosiers who might eventually claim the property.

“Each November, we receive a new batch of safe deposit boxes,” said Valerie Jones, Unclaimed Property Division project manager. “Items are then inventoried, appraised, and authenticated. Then we will be listing them on the eBay auction site.”

To follow the Unclaimed Property Division’s eBay auctions, go to this link.

Be sure to search your name and the names of friends and family at the Unclaimed Property Division’s database at IndianaUnclaimed.gov.

Year to date, the Indiana Unclaimed Property Division has returned more than $35 million, with the average claim amounting approximately $990.

 Upgrade Bike Share Program New Fleet Launch 

0

Evansville, IN, November 3, 2021 – The Evansville Trails Coalition’s (ETC) Upgrade Bike Share Program’s new fleet of bicycles is now fully launched! 

In its fifth year of operation, the Upgrade Bike Share Program began as part of a nationwide bike share system, with the now-defunct Zagster, Inc., as ETC’s program vendor beginning in October 2016 and ending in October 2019. ETC board and staff worked to keep the program going with ETC managing and operating the Upgrade Bike Share Program from its Evansville, IN office. 

The Upgrade Bike Share Program soft launch began on June 3, 2021, to work through the process of testing bike share locks and fine-tuning the Upgrade Bike Share BLOOM Bike app software to work out any service-related technical issues. The Upgrade Bike Share fleet is now launched and bikes are available at six stations in Evansville and one in Henderson, KY. 

Since 2016, ETC has continued to offer the same small ride fee of $3/hour. There are three memberships available for Upgrade Bike Share enthusiasts, Pay-As-You-Go at $3.00 an hour, Annual Membership is $40 with ride for one hour free, and the Student Annual Membership at $30 with ride for two hours free. 

To get started, download the BLOOM Bike App today to get started at: https://www.walkbikeevv.org/bike-share and visit the Upgrade Bike Share Stations: Four Freedoms Monument, Downtown YMCA, Haynie’s Corner, Ivy Tech Community College, North Main Street, West Franklin Street, and Henderson, KY. 

ETC would like to thank the City of Evansville, IN and Henderson, KY and a great big thank you to the Upgrade Bike Share Sponsors, Welborn Baptist Foundation, Toyota Indiana, Deaconess Hospital, Department of Metropolitan Development, Ivy Tech Community College, Ascension St. Vincent, Field and Main Bank, and the Raymond Preston Family Foundation, who make bike share a reality in Evansville, IN and Henderson, KY!

Eagles cruise past Hounds in three sets

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Volleyball held the University of Indianapolis to just five kills in the third set as it put an exclamation mark on a 25-18, 25-22, 25-13 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over the visiting Greyhounds Tuesday night at Screaming Eagles Arena.

Freshman outside hitter Abby Bednar (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) slammed down 13 kills, while junior middle hitter Taylor Litteken (Foristell, Missouri) added six kills and six blocks as USI earned the regular-season sweep of UIndy for the second consecutive season.

USI (15-10, 9-5 GLVC) used an 8-0 run in the opening set to turn a 9-9 tie into a commanding 17-10 advantage. USI hit .317 in the first frame while holding the Hounds to a .077 attacking percentage to pickup the seven-point win and one-set lead.

Sophomore outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) racked up five of her eight kills in the opening frame to help USI establish the early advantage.

UIndy (12-14, 8-6 GLVC) bounced back from a five-point second-set deficit to forge a late 21-21 tie, but the Screaming Eagles strung together three consecutive points en route to a three-point victory. Litteken racked up three kills and had three blocks in the set as USI increased its lead to two sets.

Bednar had six kills and a .455 attacking clip in a dominating third set. The Eagles, who hit .286 in the final frame, used a 10-1 run to turn a slim 7-6 lead into a commanding double-digit advantage en route to the 12-point, match-clinching victory.

In addition to Bednar, who had eight digs, two aces and a pair of blocks, the Eagles got 32 assists, four kills, 10 digs and two blocks from senior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri). Cepicky was one of six different players to record at least four kills on the night and one of four players to reach double-figures in digs.

Freshman outside hitter Taya Dazey (Fort Wayne, Indiana) added five kills and 15 digs, while senior libero Callie Gubera (Thorntown, Indiana) added 13 digs. Anderson also had 11 digs to go with her eight kills and three aces.

Senior middle blocker Sidney Hegg (Menasha, Wisconsin) rounded out the Eagles’ top performers with five kills, a .364 attacking percentage and five blocks.

The Eagles return to action Friday at 7 p.m. when they visit Quincy University in a key GLVC match. USI also visits Lindenwood University Saturday at 3 p.m. before finishing the regular season next week with matches against the University of Illinois Springfield (November 9) and No. 20 Lewis University (November 13) at Screaming Eagles Arena.
