Yes - do it ASAP - Ryan Hentz at Bittrex says they will keep the wallets open for a few days past the 14 days - but when they shut them to the public - thats it. You lost them.
I guess they will stake with what they are left with from non-withdraws (they seem to stake near the end of each month) then sell when we are listed on Cryptopia.
Of Course - depending on their States unclaimed property laws - they would likely need to report the unclaimed property - wait until the claim period expires - then they would have legal ownership of funds. If you claim during the reporting period - you will likely get them back - but after that they become property of Bittrex IMO.

They can refuse to accept unclaimed property under a certain value or of a certain nature. Are UTC regarded as "property" in Nevada? Interesting to note there are quite harsh penalties for failing to report unclaimed property.
A holder who willfully fails to report, pay or deliver property within the prescribed time or willfully fails to perform other duties imposed is also subject to a civil penalty of $1,000 for each day the report, payment or delivery is withheld or the duty is not performed, up to a maximum of $25,000, plus 25 percent of the value of any property that should have been but was not reported.
In addition, if an examination of the records of a person results in the disclosure of reportable property, the Treasurer may assess the cost of the examination against the holder at the rate of $200 a day for each examiner or a greater amount that is reasonable and was incurred. However, the assessment may not exceed the value of the property found to be reportable.
