Misplaced bonds
Q
What if I purchased some bonds and they were misplaced — could anyone cash them in?
A
James A. Klotz responds:
Most bonds are either in book-entry or registered form and can only be negotiated by the owner.
There are still bearer bonds outstanding which can be a bit problematic. If you lose bearer bonds, be sure to report the loss immediately.
