Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The finder of lost property has a legal responsibility, usually fixed by statute, to make an effort to learn the identity of the owner and return the property to that person. Advertising the property in a general circulation newspaper is usually evidence of the finder's honest effort to locate the owner, although today some sort of Internet posting (such as Craigslist or Facebook) might be just as effective.
