Surely you've lost something at some point. You've probably found something, too. This week we debunked the myth "finders keepers, losers weepers" and learned that someone who finds something that is not his or hers is required by law to make reasonable attempts to return that item to its rightful owner. Please reflect upon a time you lost something that someone else could have found and kept. What did you lose? Do you have any idea where? How did you feel? Was the item returned to you? Conversely, think about a time you found something. What was it? Where did you find it? Did you keep it? Did you first try to find locate the owner? Why or why not? Finally, now that you've learned the rules of wrongful possession and the law, do you think you'd act differently?
