Affidavit by Claimant of Lost Property

Property is lost when the owner does not know where property is located, but intends to find it. In other words, lost property is property that an owner has misplaced without intending to give up ownership. A person who finds lost property does not acquire title to the property. At most, a finder of lost property is entitled to possession of the property until it is claimed by the owner.
