<prompt> Human: Now long story short my late Great Grandfather left money for me to use for college it was said to be around 10k not a lot now days but hey 10k is still 10k this money was stolen from my Grandmother by my piece of shit rraisedbynarcissists worthy Dad. Recently he has told my sister which was previously thought to be just cash were some type of Bonds in my name only. So I heard you dont actually need the Bonds in case of theft or destruction Im asking to see if that is true and if so how to go about it. Edit: Thanks for the help but it seems that I dont have the information in order to see if they still exist or reissued and the only one that has that is the one that stole them in the first place.  <response>: I believe that if the bonds are in your name only, he will not be able to cashdeposit them. Bond purchases are registered mine were on a form which indicates the name of the bond owner as well as co-owner and beneficiary. That means there ought to be a record of the ownership somewhere.I will note that I am unclear if all bonds have such a form, or only some. I assume all, but am not sure.I would start here:
