In nearly every US State, if someone trespasses on your property and abandons their assets on it, you're completely allowed to dispose or liquidate their assets after a reasonable amount of time. If they've been warned about their trespass (signs, verbal warnings, etc) this period can pretty short or require no further attempts. To my knowledge, no state has provisions that you must care for or even attempt to reunite the owner with their property.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoThere may not be a legal obligation, but there's still a moral obligation.
- exabrial 2y agoThere's also a moral obligation to not trespass.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoEven if trespass was comparable to taking everything that somebody owns, two wrongs don't make a right.
