Comment on Raspberry pi 4 inside abandoned scooters
Ajen@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoWhat if the “bag of money” didn’t have any money in it at all, and the cost of recovering and properly disposing of the “bag of money” cost the legal owners more than what the bag and it’s contents are worth?

Oh, sure, it comes down to knowledge of the facts. If the owner manifests an intention not to recover it, then it is abandoned. But if you just find the scooter, or even if the company has said it’s going out of business, that’s not the same as having knowledge that the owner has no intent to retrieve the property.

Counterpoint: all of that is irrelevant if the legal owners don’t care enough to sue you.

I mean everything is legal unless someone enforces the contrary.
