Who do I contact about an unredeemed gift certificate for a restaurant that burned to the ground?
I had received a gift certificate for a local restaurant (not a franchise) and didn't get the chance to use it. The restaurant burned to the ground a couple months later. The gift certificate said valid for one year and we had a newborn, so finding time was hard. Am I out of luck or is there somewhere I can go? I have not idea how to get in touch with the owner.

Send a letter to the address of the restaurant is the only thing I can think of. It should get forwarded to the owner. Good luck collecting because its unlikely the owner had fire insurance to compensate for un redeemed gift certificates.
