MDcode of ethics/law
just read a book by charles garrett that says that whatever is foung DOES NOT belong you as far as the law goes.
according to the law you must do everything you can to find the right owners or their heirs if, you make a really old fine.
he comes short of saying you should turn over said property to the cops.
according to the law your finds are not yours as the owners did not abandoned their property but merely lost it and therefore did not willingly relinquesh said property.
you also are not allowed to charge a fee or request a reward for finding others property.
so i guess the next time i find a ring at the beach i need to holler from the water if anyone lost it or if i am searching anyother place i need to yell that i found something.
this really pute a damper on my parade.
do the right thing or keep the !!!!?
