Robo de propiedad perdida o mal colocada

Explicación Simple

Si encuentras algo que no es tuyo y sabes que se ha perdido, debes intentar devolverlo. Si decides quedártelo, puedes estar cometiendo un robo.

Es como si en una fiesta alguien deja su abrigo en la entrada. Si lo encuentras y decides quedártelo, en lugar de devolverlo, estás haciendo algo malo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan encuentra una billetera en el parque. Sabe que no es suya y que alguien la perdió. Si Juan decide no buscar al dueño y se queda con la billetera, podría ser acusado de robo según la ley.

ORS 164.065 Theft of lost, mislaid property ORS 164.065 Theft of lost, mislaid property Text Annotations   2 A person who comes into control of property of another that the person knows or has good reason to know to have been lost, mislaid or delivered under a mistake as to the nature or amount of the property or the identity of the recipient, commits theft if, with intent to deprive the owner thereof, the person fails to take reasonable measures to restore the property to the owner. [1971 c.743 §126] Source: Section 164.065 — Theft of lost, mislaid property , https://www.­oregonlegislature.­gov/bills_laws/ors/ors164.­html (accessed May 26, 2025). Notes of Decisions Although conviction under this section was improper under evidence that ring which defendant purchased was not lost or mislaid but had been stolen, such evidence was sufficient for remand for resentencing for crime of attempted theft. State v. Mack, 31 Or App 59, 569 P2d 624 (1977) When read with ORS 98.005, 98.015 and 98.025, this section requires finder’s belief that property is lost be objectively reasonable. Finder of bag not visible from street and located no more than five feet from door to defendant’s residence could not have objectively reasonable belief bag was lost. State v. Vanburen, 262 Or App 715, 327 P3d 555 (2014)
