Is there a citation for this in CA? can you just take abandoned property and claim it as yours without a single paperwork step?
- lightedman 8y agoAbandoned property of California is found in a place where the owner intended to leave it. However, the condition of the property is such that it is unlikely that the owner intends to reclaim it. California abandoned property belongs to the finder. IOW, unless it is in bad/inoperable condition, you are not likely to get away with attempting to take one from the sidewalk. Just wait for the auction. For further info, contact the CA State Controller's Office, they handle abandoned property issues.
