It would be nice if she got to keep it, but hardly mandatory. |
because im pretty sure many municipalities have laws indicating that a person who finds money laying about and turns it over to the authorities, if nobody claims it within a given time frame, the money is awarded to the person who found it and turned it in.
i believe these laws were originally created to give people incentive to turn it over to the authorities.
