Many people who do not reside in and haven't ever even been to Colorado are also owed Colorado unclaimed money for a handful of reasons. For example, if someone works for a company in their home state, but the company has its headquarters in Colorado, things like lost payroll checks may be held by Colorado's state treasury, while their home state will have no record of these assets. A similar problem arises when people have insurance policies through out of state companies. This is yet another reason that one search will not cut it.

Using ideas from expert locators can keep people from making rookie mistakes that would otherwise prevent them from finding their money.
