2 Citing cases

  1. Terry v. Lock

    343 Ark. 452 (Ark. 2001)   Cited 15 times
    In Terry, the court upheld a trial court's finding that $38,200 of dusty currency concealed behind ceiling tiles in a motel was "mislaid" property and therefore belonged to the motel owner as against a claim by the independent contractors who found it while renovating the motel.

    The Supreme Court of Iowa has explained that "under the common law, there are four categories of found property: (1) abandoned property, (2) lost property, (3) mislaid property, and (4) treasure trove." Benjamin v. Linder Aviation, Inc., 534 N.W.2d 400 (Iowa 1995); see also Jackson v. Steinberg, 186 Or. 129, 200 P.2d 376 (1948). "The rights of a finder of property depend on how the found property is classified."
