Law of Finding and Property Ownership in Lost Goods
The law as described says a finder does not become owner of lost property. The true owner may claim possession anytime. If no claimant appears, the finder may possess but must advertise if possible to locate the owner. If the owner cannot be found, possession stands with the finder under the law of finding, though theft can occur if the owner is later proven. The New York Daily News cites a case where a purchaser found a purse in a bureau and was charged with larceny.
