Read up on the lost property laws in California. The person who found it had an obligation to return it to the proprietor of the bar, who had an obligation to return it to the original owner for the next three years. Under the law, it was stolen.


Thanks for the info. That is a pretty awful law imho...


It clearly defines your responsibilities if you come across someone's lost property. Seems like a reasonable law to me.
