[flash]

There have been many threads involving picking up "free" money, from company contributions, to ING acccounts, to finding money the government owes you, etc.

So, can we brain storm on all the different ways someone might lose free money?

I think of the rental security deposits and last months rent. It hasn't been peanuts for me, last months rent and deposit have been 1K - 6K (a few years ago). I've accidently paid last month rent twice once, and had a time getting it back. But I've cleaned carpets, washed walls, and plugged holes, and I've always gotten the full security deposit back plus interest.

My sister has NEVER gotten hers back, she thinks it's better to walk away and let the owner deal with cleaning it up the way he/she want it.


What other money gets left behind?
