Problem is Keane didn't say who owed them money, and we know it doesn't involve the California state lost property people, because I checked there.
Like I said, seems like a scam, but Keane also seems like a legit company.
And we live to fight another day.

I think they're legit, but sleazy. The letters I (and all of my siblings) got were about unclaimed inheritance $$. Which may exist, but not in NEARLY the amounts they were claiming, and the reason I haven't gotten it is because that money is putting my cousins through college, which is what my dad and aunt (the executors) agreed it would be used for.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Figures. What's their pay structure? If they charge a flat fee without proof of how much stands to be recovered, or want payment up front, forget it. If they charge a percentage of funds recovered and don't expect payment until you get the money, it might be worth looking into.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I want to be Sarah Vowell.
Sarah Vowell is my secret soulmate. She is a twin (so am I). She is a liberal raised in a conservative small town (so am I). Her father is a gun loving collector (so is mine). She loves history and has a dark sense of humor (so do I).
Aside from the pithily written books, an intolerance for grain and a spot on NPR, she is me!!

I'm reading Sarah Vowell for the first time! Assassination Vacation, and I want to pick up the Wordy whatever book that's now out in paperback.

She's pretty awesome in interviews too.

Plus she's the voice of Violet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good times....
A while back I posted a link to the Sir Squid t-shirt that I bought. Here are a bunch of similar shirts with different animals: [link]
Including Sir Camel! Sir Ferret! Sir Hedgehog!
I wonder if I could persuade them to do a Sir Coelacanth shirt....

I just found a grammatical error on my company's new education-oriented site. (In the header, so on practically every page.) @@
