- jrockway 17y agoWhen you use the word "steal", sure, you're right. But he didn't "steal" anything, he misappropriated property that was reasonably expected to not be abandoned. Things for the jury to consider include: whether it was reasonable to assume that the device was lost and not abandoned, whether he had any malicious intent (his state of mind), and so on. As I mention above, it's not clear-cut at all.
