Document Summary
The law of personal property is recent, wealth for most of the thousand years was measured in terms of land and only recently did we think of wealth as personal property. A person who finds personal property has a right to claim it against anyone except the true owner. The person who finds it has some entitlement to it/interest. Property interest: finding an item and taking it for yourself ex. Putting a found diamond ring in your pocket. If a stranger goes, hey i want that ring then the finder has better interest. If a stranger says, hey that"s my ring and can prove its theirs, then the stranger has better interest. In the case of thomas, thomas was mis-deliver a lot of cash so he took it to the police but the police could not determine who the true owner was but canada post refused to surrender the cash.
