<p>[QUOTE="Coin buyer, post: 3444322, member: 102573"]It always amazes me that “Most” times when people find something, anything that was lost or misplaced by an individual, that the finder “Believes” in being honest and to do the right thing in order to return said property. “However”, as sincere as people may be, after finding or coming into possession of “Found” Property, they most times inadvertently may advertise (Via) newspapers, bulletin boards etc. having found lost property. Then many times the finder request that those who come forth to recover said property first describe the property lost. So, while attempting to be a good citizen and return property to rightful owner(s), finders are actually breaking the law. </p><p>It once was perfectly okay to keep and or do whatever one wished after finding any lost property, the U. S. called it (Common Law Statute)! But these days it’s basically theft to keep found property no matter the circumstances of how it was obtained. Found property, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, coolers, firearms, etc. They and everything else found should be turned over to a City, County, Federal or Government legal system, ie: Law Enforcment. Each State has its ruling on how, when or (If) found property shall be returned or not to finder?</p><p>So i must agree, IMO, when finding other people’s property, the “Only” honest and noble thing to do is obviously turn it into Law Enforcement and let them perform their duties with retuning property to rightful owners. Then and only then if said property happens to be returned to you it would be (Legal) to keep it! I have absolutely no doubt that every single individual here on C T is a honest and caring individual and only wishes to always do the correct and legal proper thing. Let’s pray that “others” may follow our examples!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
