Neither may he keep it unless
the object is truly "lost," and
not mere!v "ire-laid;'1'. In gen
oral, property is legally "lost"
w.hen parted with involuntari-
ly -through aoeslent. neglect,
forgetfulho-a •
tentional circumstance. Proper
ty is not lost in the legal sense
when voluntarily left by the
owner, intending to pick it up
later—even though he fails to do
so. Such property is "mis-
laid'.
Thus, if one loses a watch on
the street by having the clasp
break, not knowing where or
when it was dropped, it is le-
gally- "lost". The same is true

Put when artic.h's are left .on

tel room, or even when droppt d
oh a siiop floor, under circum-
stances indicating that the true
owner will later return to
claim them, such items are not
considered : ) ,.-t. The proper
any other unin- j:custodian to hold them for the
owners return would be the
proprietor or other person in
charge. Remaining unclaimed,
the property sometimes goes to
Ibis custodian', sometimes to
finder. The distinction here
appears to be whether the place
it is found is private or semi-
private, or a place used by the
general public.
Every month or so we see a
nev.soaper item telling how
s o ni e gullible persons has
oral hundred dollars. This con-
fidence .racket has many varia-
tions, but generally runs some-
thing like this.
A pair of smooth operators
sidle up to their intended vic-
tim on a downtown street.
Sti aimers to each other, they
have just found a billfold con-
taining a Large denomination
bill or a large check, say $1000.
Thev want to split Ihe find, but
neither has Ihe money to buy
the other's interest. Now, if
the victim can gel hold of some
cash, they are willing to split
three ways, Or even to give him
more than one-third.
When the sucker produces
the money in anticipation of a
quick return on his investment,
complication's develop. One of
the confidence workers may
have consulted a fictitious em-
ployer in the absence of the
victim. Now Ihe billfold, its
contents and the victim's money
most be left in the employer's
custody a few days in case the
owner apper-s. Then the di-
vision is to be made. Me takes
the money to turn il in to the
employer —just up the street a
few doors—and disappears. His
co-worker also judiciously takes |
his or her leave.
