Nebraska’s online auction of unclaimed property left in safe deposit boxes has brought in nearly $15,000.

State Treasurer Don Stenberg says of 117 lots put up for auction eBay, 102 sold for a total of $14,913. The lots included coins, jewelry, collectible sports cards and other items.

Stenberg says banks hold onto the items for five years before turning them over to the state, which then keeps them for another five years before holding an auction.

He says the property is put on the auction block only after various efforts to find the original owners have failed. Proceeds from the sale are recorded in the original owner’s name and are held indefinitely, or until it’s claimed.

Omaha police have identified the man found dead inside a burning garage last month, but they didn’t immediately release his name.

Police said Wednesday that the body firefighters found Aug. 30 after extinguishing the fire at an abandoned house belonged to a 58-year-old Omaha resident.

But police said they were still trying to notify the man’s family, so they didn’t release his name.

Police say the man’s body was burned beyond recognition. Homicide detectives are working with arson investigators in the case.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has given Nebraska permission to blend aflatoxin-tainted corn from the 2012 harvest with other corn for animal feed.

The Nebraska Department of Agriculture had joined Iowa and other major corn-producing states in seeking exceptions to federal rules regarding aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are a group of chemicals produced by certain mold fungi on corn. They can occur more frequently during hot, dry summers.

Almost 70 percent of nearly 2,000 samples from the early stages of the Nebraska corn harvest tested positive for aflatoxins.

The agriculture departments say the blended corn is safe for animals. Corn with more than 20 parts per billion can’t be used for human consumption or as feed for dairy animals.
