Lost Property Definition
Lost property is an item missing from its rightful owner by means of forgetting where it was left. Lost property differs from stolen property in that stolen property is something that has purposely been removed from the rightful owner. Lost property, however, can become stolen property if someone finds something, but intentionally does not return it to its rightful owner or turn it over to the police.
