I found an expensive watch. Should I turn it in to police?

The watch belongs to someone who presumably earned the money to buy it. If they filed a report with the police department, it can be returned to its owner. Some police agencies hold found property like this for a set period, and if it goes unclaimed, it can be returned to the person who found it. If that happened, you would own it lawfully. If you decide to keep it and not give it to the police, you may be in possession of stolen property and liable to criminal charges.
