Apple’s Steve Jobs may be long dead, but that has not stopped government officials in San Francisco, California, from looking for him. It turns out Jobs is being targeted alongside many other high-profile tech magnates, including PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, Travis Kalanick, the chief executive of Uber, and Napster co-founder and Facebook’s first president, Sean Parker. While being on a government list is probably not something most people would aspire to, it turns out you would want to be on the San Francisco MTA list.
If you happen to live in the area, it turns out the city and county of San Francisco probably owes you some money. The San Francisco MTA posted a list of 200,000 names of people who have overpaid their San Francisco parking tickets between 1995 and 2012. All in all, there is about $6.1 million up for grabs, although you have until March 3, 2016, to grab the money.

The dead Apple CEO Steve Jobs is also named on the list and he is owed $174, which makes you wonder how often Jobs received parking tickets. According to the Washington Post , Jobs was infamous for the actions he took to avoid receiving a parking ticket in the first place.
“Jobs famously changed his car every six months just to take advantage of a California loophole that prevents you from having to install license plates on your vehicle,” noted the report. “Jobs also had a habit of deliberately parking in handicap spaces. But because that mostly seemed to happen on Apple’s own campus, it doesn’t appear to have gotten him any tickets.”
According to SFist , it is not exactly clear how you can collect on the money, but you can still search the list of names on the SFMTA website here .
