Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The law is not "finder's keepers, loser's weepers." In most cases, a person who finds lost property has a legal obligation to try to return it to the rightful owner or turn it over to the authorities. Keeping someone else's property without making a genuine effort to return it could be considered theft or another crime.
