Unclaimed Property in Big Bear City
Big Bear City's substantial unclaimed property totals reflect the area's unique mountain resort economy and transient population patterns. Many records stem from seasonal workers and vacation rental owners who moved without updating addresses with utility companies and financial institutions.
Golden State Water Company holds $42,800 primarily from security deposits left behind by residents who relocated after job changes or property sales, while Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club ($22,300) represents uncashed claim checks from the high volume of winter weather-related auto incidents in the San Bernardino Mountains. The prevalence of cashier's checks (4,139 records) suggests many originated from real estate transactions around Big Bear Lake, where property transfers are common but forwarding addresses aren't always updated with escrow companies and title firms.
