What should you do if you find a laptop? How could you find out if he was stolen? Would you have to turn the cops on - and if so, could they tell you immediately if he was stolen? If not, can I keep it, or how does it work?
Hand it over to the police
You can usually keep the find if no one reports after 6 months.
And find out if he was stolen? Well, the one who knows the password is probably the owner, and whoever does not know it can't belong to him.
If you find something that doesn't belong to you, you hand it over to the police. No matter what it is. You can of course keep it too, that would be theft.
You hand that in to the police or the lost property office, otherwise this is misappropriation.
And actually that is part of general knowledge.
After 6 months I can no longer buy anything from myself.
Always had a penchant for crime.
I thought so… Just go to sleep.
You go scratch!
If you find an item that is worth more than 10 euro, you must hand it over to the police or lost property office. Otherwise, you are guilty of embezzlement according to Section 246 of the Criminal Code. After 6 months you will be given the laptop. However, an owner could still request surrender within 3 years.
You simply hand it over to the lost property office and say that you want to acquire ownership of the computer in case the loser / injured party does not report.
