Its not being taken from anyone, so it is not theft. If I find 50 dollars on the ground and keep it, its isnt theft and this is in a situation where there is a discernable loss to someone. Much less is it theft when nothing has been taken from anyone, as per the definition


Actually if you find $50 dollars on the floor in the UK it is theft. Finders keepers losers weepers does not hold water in the eyes of the law. For you to pick up your 50 bucks and it not be theft you have to prove the item is abandoned. Somebody losing an item does not mean abandonment and does not mean they have lost ownership of the said item.

So sayeth yea.

So if you find a 50$ bill in the street you must let it there or the popo could put you in jail?

Brits are crazy. They don't like pickles on their burgers.
