Hey guys,
Having read about the "theft by finding" laws we have in this country, does anyone have any stories about legally obtaining ownership of an expensive item - jewellery for example?
And what about all those $2/$1 coins that eveyone finds - do we legally need to hand those in too?
Where is the line drawn? Because technically all that metal trash doesnt belong to us either so can we hand that over as well to be held for 18 months or so, waiting for the owner to claim their trash (which will never happen).
I can see myself now finding a gold ring and a bag full of bottle caps then rocking up to a police station, saying "I'm handing this ALL in" lol.
