When you take possession of something that does not belong to you then it is stealing. Perhaps the host of the Lost & Found collection has a policy of not keeping items over a certain period of time. You should inquire about that possibility if there is an item that interests you.

Is it stealing if you take money off the ground?

No! stealing is when you purposely take an item or thing from someone. It's most likely that you found the money and didn't intentionally try to rob someone. It is just too bad that the victim lost the money in the first place. I lost money too but I didn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that someone stole it. So enjoy that money, it's yours!


What does lost in a sleep of negligence mean?

Can you pretend you lost your phone at the mall and get a free iphone 4 from the mall lost and found?

A) To do that would be stealing. B) The mall's lost and found would probably check that it really is your phone, they might ask for the number, and they would almost certainly ask what day you lost it. Your answer would have to match the day any were found. C) iPhones can be traced using the MobileMe facility "Find my iPhone" - would you dare try using it?

If you found a jacket then lost it can the person who owns it press charges?

This is less likely but not uncommon to happen. The charges made would probably state stealing, not loosing. Stealing happen when you loose the jacket and refuse to replace it. If I lendt out anything to somebody and it got lost, then I would expect it to be replaced. You are responsible for what you borrow.


Can you pretend you lost your ipod or iphone at the mall and get a free one from the mall lost and found?

No. There are several things wrong with this idea. First, the mall has no responsibility for your items and they will tell you this. Many malls post a message stating this as well. Second, this is a lie and becomes stealing if you happen to obtain one of these items through a lie. This means the mall can file charges against you and you will go to court for stealing.
